What Are the Different Types of Chandelier Parts?
The different types of chandelier parts can fall into several simple categories. The main chandelier parts are chandelier prisms, crystal parts and lamp parts. Another term for the lamp and light fixture is called luminaire, and it comprises the lamp and a reflector of the light. Knowing the terms of chandelier hardware is important if one finds that mending a chandelier is necessary. Chandelier prisms are tiny crystals that hang from the bottom of the chandelier itself. Usually, crystal prisms hang underneath the chandelier parts associated with the lamp or chandelier candlesticks. Chandelier prisms help reflect the light from the lamp parts so that rays will shine through into the room that the chandelier occupies. This makes for an elegant display in the room, because even sunlight through the windows can stimulate the diffusion of natural light into the room through the chandelier.
