Helium Small 2-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol for Visual Comfort

The Helium Small 2-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol is a modern LED chandelier that appears lighter than air. Two frosted glass globes hang on separate draped black cables from one slim round canopy, like a pair of balloons held to the ceiling. It comes in Matte Black.

The Design Story

The Helium series by Peter Bristol is a modern family of lights that appear to be lighter than air. Slightly compressed glass spheres seem to push against the ceiling, as if they might float away if they were not tethered by their cables. A hidden attachment and a low profile canopy let the draped cable and the glowing glass do the work.

Why You'll Love It

Helium Small 2-Light pairs two 7 inch glass globes on 18 feet of field-cuttable black cable, with the two cables looping out to either side of a 5.1 inch canopy. It spans 25.1 inches at its tightest and up to 198.1 inches when the cable is stretched out. It suits a bedside, a small entry or the end of a hall, where two spheres give a little more presence than one. The integrated LED gives 1300 lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 20 watts, and it dims on ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Helium Small 2-Light Chandelier is ETL listed, and Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. The body is steel with glass globes, the LED is integrated with a 5-year warranty, and it is Title 24 compliant.

Product Details

Where It Shines

At the end of a hall, over a small console, beside a bed with one globe on each side, or in an entry that needs two soft points of light.

Who This Is Not For

Helium Small 2-Light gives 1300 lumens, so it is a layer of ambient light and not the only light for a large room. It is hardwired, and the cable is cut to length on site, so plan the hang with an electrician.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Helium Small 2-Light Chandelier?

Each glass globe is 7 inches wide and 5.7 inches tall, and the round canopy is 5.1 inches across and half an inch deep. The fixture weighs 5 pounds. With the cable draped it can span from 25.1 in to 198.1 in.

How is the cable hung?

It ships with 18 feet of field-cuttable black cable. You or your installer drape and cut it to the lengths you want, and the hidden attachment and low profile canopy keep the top clean.

What light source does it use?

It has an integrated LED that gives 1300 delivered lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 20 watts. Visual Comfort rates the LED to L70 over 50,000 hours, so there are no bulbs to change.

How do I dim it?

It dims with most LED compatible ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers, and it runs on universal 120V to 277V.

Can it go on a sloped ceiling?

Yes. Visual Comfort lists it for sloped ceilings up to 45 degrees. It weighs 5 lbs, so have an electrician confirm that the ceiling box can carry the load.

Can I use it outdoors?

Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. It is not for fully exposed outdoor use.

Why We Love It

Helium Small 2-Light is a pair of glass spheres that seem to drift up against the ceiling on their cables.
