An often ornate lighting fixture that hangs from a [[ceiling]]. Early chandeliers used multiple [[candle|candles]] for light, but in modern times these have been replaced with [[light_bulb|electric lamps]]. Some chandeliers have arrays of crystal prisms to scatter light throughout a room. Due to their size and the amount of light they produce, chandeliers are usually installed as focal points in large rooms such as [[dining_room|dining rooms]], lounges, or [[stairs|staircases]].

This tag is distinct from [[hanging light]] in that hanging lights are of simple design and only have one or two lamps each, whereas chandeliers are large fixtures that branch out into multiple lamps.
