Large chandeliers for second light
The second light is a popular concept in architecture. It implies the absence of ceiling slabs in some rooms. Thus, the room looks bigger, lighter and more spacious. That is, in houses with a second light, some rooms have ceilings of colossal height, and hence illuminate the artificial source of the entire room will be much more difficult.
For such houses, a chandelier is designed for a second light. It should have several tiers to provide lighting at different heights. The luminaire with tiers and a large number of lamps guarantees a soft diffusion of light throughout the room. Chandeliers for such spaces must necessarily be large in both height and diameter or width, as they are not only more functional, but look much better. However, it is better to give preference not to cumbersome copies, but to those that have several levels and quite a number of design elements.
