Generation Lighting Belton Five Light Chandelier
The Belton Five Light Chandelier combines rustic charm with refined craftsmanship, making it an ideal focal point for any dining room or entryway. Hand-forged details and a distressed finish give each fixture a lived-in character that feels both vintage and timeless.
Each Belton chandelier is built around a hand-forged iron frame that showcases visible hammer marks and subtle texture variations. The weathered finish mimics decades of natural aging, giving your space an authentic farmhouse aesthetic without the need for salvaged materials.
Sizing and installation requirements
The 32-inch diameter makes the Belton Five Light Chandelier well-suited for dining tables between 60 and 84 inches long, or entryways with at least 10 feet of open floor space. We recommend hanging the fixture 30 to 36 inches above the table surface to balance light distribution with visual comfort.
The adjustable chain extends up to 10 feet, allowing you to customize the drop length for vaulted ceilings or standard 8-foot installations. A canopy measuring 5 inches in diameter conceals the junction box and wiring. Hardwired installation requires a compatible dimmer switch rated for LED or incandescent bulbs, depending on your chosen light source.
Bulb compatibility and light output
Candelabra Base Options
The Belton uses five E12 candelabra base sockets, each rated for up to 60 watts. We recommend LED filament bulbs in warm white (2700K) or soft white (3000K) to complement the fixture’s vintage character. Dimmable LED bulbs give you control over ambiance without sacrificing the candlelight aesthetic.
Recommended Lumen Output
For a dining room, aim for 3000 to 4000 total lumens across all five bulbs to achieve comfortable task lighting for meals and conversation. In an entryway or foyer, 2000 to 2500 lumens provides welcoming illumination without overwhelming the space. Higher wattage or lumen counts work well in rooms with dark walls or minimal natural light.

Belton Chandelier Questions
The 32-inch diameter is ideal for dining tables between 60 and 84 inches long. For smaller tables under 60 inches, consider a three-light pendant from the same collection. Larger tables over 84 inches pair better with a six-light chandelier to maintain proportional lighting coverage.
Yes, the included canopy and adjustable chain accommodate sloped ceilings up to 45 degrees. You may need a sloped ceiling adapter kit, which is sold separately and attaches between the junction box and canopy. Consult a licensed electrician if your ceiling angle exceeds 45 degrees.
The fixture is damp location rated, meaning it can be installed in covered outdoor spaces like screened porches or gazebos where it’s protected from direct rain and snow. It is not wet location rated and should not be installed in fully exposed outdoor areas.
We recommend E12 candelabra base LED filament bulbs in 2700K to 3000K color temperature for the best vintage aesthetic. Each socket supports up to 60 watts, but LED bulbs deliver equivalent brightness at 5 to 8 watts per bulb. Make sure any bulbs you choose are labeled dimmable if you’re using a dimmer switch.
The fixture weighs approximately 18 pounds including the chain and canopy. Standard residential junction boxes rated for ceiling fans or fixtures up to 50 pounds provide adequate support. Verify your junction box is securely anchored to a ceiling joist or blocking before installation.
Yes, the chain links can be removed or added at any time without rewiring the fixture. Simply turn off power at the breaker, lower the canopy, and adjust the chain to your desired length. This makes it easy to repurpose the chandelier in a different room with a different ceiling height.
Because each fixture is hand-finished, slight variations in the weathered iron and distressed wood are normal and expected. These differences add to the authentic handcrafted character. No two chandeliers will look identical, which is part of the design’s charm.
