Lody Chandelier

We bought two of these for our living room. The ceilings are quite high, so we needed a light fixture with some drama. The 20-light Lody certainly fit the bill. It has mid-century modern styling, but with updated, energy efficient LED bulbs. It is a show-stopper. We absolutely love it. Even though the fixture is quite large, it is extremely light, which makes hoisting it up a ladder (somewhat) easier. The only downside is that, unlike say a ceiling fan, where you mount the canopy to the ceiling and then attach the heavy part (the fan itself) to the canopy with a ball/socket set up, with this light you have to assemble it BEFORE you mount the canopy to the ceiling plate. Which means installation is really a two-person job: one person to hold the weight of the lamp while the other person clamps the canopy onto the ceiling plate and screws in the hardware. I also recommend renting some scaffolding versus using two ladders because of the width of the fixture -- it would be very difficult to keep the light's arms clear of the ladder, without leaning out so far that the ladder falls over. If you're hanging this over a dining table, and it's not that far off the floor, a ladder would probably be fine.
