Helium X-Large 1-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol for Visual Comfort

The Helium X-Large 1-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol is a modern LED chandelier that appears lighter than air. One large frosted glass globe, 21 inches wide, hangs on a draped black cable from a slim round canopy, a single oversized sphere that looks as if it is floating. 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 X-Large 1-Light is one big statement: a 21 inch glass globe on 18 feet of field-cuttable black cable, 32.1 inches across at its tightest and up to 212.1 inches when the cable is stretched out. It suits a stair, a double-height entry, a reading corner or a bedroom, where one large glowing form is enough. The integrated LED gives 2253 lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 28.9 watts, and it dims on ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Helium X-Large 1-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

Beside a stair, in a double-height entry, over a reading chair, in a bedroom corner, or in a pair on either side of a sofa or a bed.

Who This Is Not For

Helium X-Large 1-Light is a 21 inch globe weighing 14 pounds, so it needs room around it and a ceiling box that can carry the load. It is one source, so it suits an accent or a corner rather than a whole room.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Helium X-Large 1-Light Chandelier?

The glass globe is 21 inches wide and 17.2 inches tall, and the round canopy is 5.1 inches across and half an inch deep. The fixture weighs 14 pounds. With the cable draped it can span from 32.1 in to 212.1 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 2253 delivered lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 28.9 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 14 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
