Helium X-Large 3-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol for Visual Comfort

The Helium X-Large 3-Light Chandelier by Peter Bristol is a modern LED chandelier that appears lighter than air. Three large frosted glass globes, each 21 inches wide, hang on draped black cables from one slim round canopy, a loose trio 53.1 inches across. 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 3-Light hangs three 21 inch glass globes on 18 feet of field-cuttable black cable, 53.1 inches across at its tightest and up to 212.1 inches when stretched out. Each cable drapes to its own length, so the trio can be stacked, staggered or spread. It suits a large dining table, a double-height entry or a stair. The integrated LED gives 2400 lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 54 watts, and it dims on ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Helium X-Large 3-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

Over a large dining table, in a double-height entry, in a stair hall, or in a great room where one oversized, airy fixture can anchor the space.

Who This Is Not For

Helium X-Large 3-Light weighs 42 pounds and spans 53.1 inches, so it needs a high ceiling, a solid structural support and a professional install. At 2400 lumens it is a statement and a soft glow, not a task light.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Helium X-Large 3-Light Chandelier?

Each 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 is 53.1 inches across and weighs 42 pounds. With the cable draped it can span from 53.1 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 2400 delivered lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 54 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 42 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 X-Large 3-Light is three giant glass spheres tied to the ceiling and trying to float away.
