A soft translucent stone, alabaster has been used since antiquity to create ornaments, sculptures and lighting. When lit, alabaster produces a soft pleasant light suitable for dining or reading, as well as illumination in interior spaces where soft ambiance is desired. All of Brass Light Gallery's Alabaster Light Fixtures are made with genuine alabaster stone.

Over dining room tables -18" and 24' diameter bowls.

Starting at 60" overall length (OAL), we add a center cluster and rod extension for multi-rod ceiling fixtures with very long lengths. These work well in homes that have two story rooms as well as in large commercial spaces. The multi-rod cluster works well on angled ceilings too.

On alabaster ceiling pendants 21" OAL and longer, we provide center breaks.
On alabaster ceiling pendants shorter than 21", rods are made without breaks.
You may customize your pendant to be made with or without rod breaks when ordering. Specify in your order notes or call Sales at (800-243-9595) for more information.

Alabaster is available in it's natural tone or with three tint options. Untinted (9A), Light Tint (5A), Medium Tint (6A) and Dark Tint (7A). Alabaster Tint Samples may be requested from our Customer Service Department.

A glass shade accommodates 150 watts unless otherwise noted. The maximum wattage for Alabaster Cup shades is 40 watts.
