Elstead Apollo 5-Light Chandelier

Choosing a statement chandelier for a large room involves more than finding something beautiful. Get the drop height wrong, misjudge the visual weight, or overlook the room's proportions, and even a stunning piece can feel out of place. The Apollo is the kind of fixture that rewards careful specification.

For a pendant of this scale, the key decisions are drop height, ceiling clearance, and how light is distributed across the room. Etched opal glass — a frosted, diffusing finish applied to the glass surface — softens the light source and reduces glare, spreading illumination evenly rather than creating harsh hotspots. This is particularly important with multi-globe arrangements, where exposed bulbs can quickly feel overwhelming in an otherwise refined interior.

The Elstead Apollo 5-Light Chandelier is a mid-century modern sculptural pendant designed by Ellen DeGeneres. Five white opal etched glass globes are held within minimalist metal cradles — each globe suspended in an orbital band of polished metal — four arranged radially around a luminous central fifth. The result is a wide, low-profile form with a quietly cosmic character. Available in Polished Nickel or Burnished Brass, both finishes bring their own mood: Polished Nickel for crisp, reflective clarity; Burnished Brass for warmth and depth.

At 813mm in diameter and 419mm in height, the Apollo is scaled for generous spaces — open-plan living areas, double-height hallways, or a well-proportioned dining room. The adjustable drop ranges from 430mm to 1831mm, giving meaningful flexibility for different ceiling heights. For custom drop requirements beyond this range, contact the Lightsource Mallorca team directly.

The Apollo is rated IP20, meaning it is suitable for dry interior spaces only — not for use in bathrooms or covered outdoor areas. It is a hardwired fitting installed via a ceiling canopy and central downrod; a qualified electrician should carry out the installation. Lamp type and driver requirements should be confirmed at point of specification — the Lightsource Mallorca team can advise on compatible light sources to suit your dimming setup. The fixture carries a Elstead product warranty of 2–20 years depending on the model.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with specification-led clients — designers, architects, and self-builders — to ensure the right product reaches the right project at the right time. The Apollo is the kind of considered, design-forward piece that earns its place in a curated scheme, and we can support you from initial selection through to delivery and install coordination, including lamp and driver compatibility advice.
