Visual Comfort Baku 37 LED Chandelier by Sean Lavin – 36.6-Inch, Dimmable, Damp Rated

Where the Baku 37 LED Chandelier works in the house

Dining rooms. Center it over the table, not the room, with the bottom 30–36 inches above the tabletop. A fixture about half to three-quarters of the table width keeps the proportions comfortable.

Entries and stairwells. In a two-story foyer hang it so the lowest point clears sightlines from the landing; use the stems to reach the right height and keep 7 feet clear underneath.

Primary bedrooms and living rooms. Centered over the bed or a seating group, a chandelier works as a soft ambient layer on a dimmer.

Room planner: size, height and placement

The numbers below come from the manufacturer's specifications and our own placement rules, worked out for the Baku 37 LED Chandelier.

• Rectangular table: at least 43" wide (36.6" fixture + 6")
• Round table: about 49–73" across (fixture = ½ to ¾ of the table)
• Hanging height over the table: bottom of the fixture 30–36" over the tabletop
• In a room with an 8 ft ceiling: too low to hang it 30–36" over a standard table
• With a 9 ft ceiling: overall height about 42–48"
• With a 10 ft ceiling: overall height about 54–60"
• With a 12 ft ceiling: overall height about 78–84"
• Hall, stair or walk-through: ceiling at least 11 ft to keep 7 ft of clearance under the fixture
• Taller ceilings: up to 97.6" overall with the included stems
• On a sloped ceiling: Not for sloped ceilings

Ceiling and table figures are our calculation for standard room dimensions, so measure your space. Have a licensed electrician install hardwired fixtures.

Pulling the room together

Layer it with wall sconces on the dining-room walls or a buffet lamp, and keep the chandelier on a dimmer so dinner and homework can share the table. Echo the finish in the sideboard hardware or mirror frame.

For commercial and multi-unit projects

For restaurants, boutique hotels and clubhouses, specify one fixture per table bay or a line of identical fixtures down the room. Send us the ceiling heights and table plan and we will help with sizes, stem counts and dimming.

When another fixture is the better call

• Anyone who cannot open the ceiling: the clean mud-in look needs drywall work (or use the included decorative plate).
• Low ceilings: the fixture itself is 36.9" tall, so under an 8-foot ceiling it can hang into head space.
• Fully exposed outdoor locations: it is rated for covered outdoor spaces, not direct rain.
• Anyone who wants 3000K or 3500K or tunable white: it comes in 2700K only.
• Sloped or vaulted ceilings: Visual Comfort says it is not for sloped installation.

Care, cleaning and upkeep
