At élan, our passion is art and our medium is light; one that elevates a space and everything in it. With each piece in our collection, we create modern sculptures that define a room and your style, while bringing that all-important light to a space. It can make it bolder, softer, more inviting, or simply make an impression. We do it so you can choose that one perfect piece that you’ve been dreaming about that connects you and your space. Elan is backed by Kichler’s commitment to quality and extensive support network. The collection uses only high-end materials and distinctive finishes, and most pieces are built around energy efficient LED technology.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am sitting in my dining room as I write this review, and even after it being installed for a couple weeks I periodically admire my new pendant light.
Our light arrived in a decent amount of time but was extremely well packaged. For a light of this quality (and price!) I am glad care was taken to make sure everything arrived in excellent condition.
We hired an electrician to install, but I think after reading the instructions we could have done it ourselves - steps were simple enough to understand.
The light is a polished chrome, with natural steel drop down accents and solid bubbled glass reflectors. We have 8 foot ceilings, and this pendant goes directly over our dinner table. The light is surprisingly effective and clearly lights up our entire (7 foot) dinner table.
There are some chains to attach to the base, and four sets of extension poles (two 6", two 12"). Our electrician suggested installing the light without the chains and we really like that look. We ended up with one 6", one 12" extension only and are extremely happy with the light (I think I've said that a couple times now!).
However, there is one item to mention, which is the "base" of the light is 4 1/4" wide. Our electrician felt this was odd, because most electrical "boxes" are around 4", so there is unfortunately a gap showing on our ceiling that we will need to patch. I honestly forgot about it though until this review, but it is worth noting if you are retrofitting this light to an existing space. I did remove one star because that is an irritant and our electrician is the one who thinks it is odd to have it be that narrow.
Overall, I am so happy with this light. The look, flexibility, functionality, quality is all outstanding. I would buy this light over and over.. Troismaman. Rochester, MN. Sat Nov 30 2019
