Same fixture, longer bar. The 7-light is 35.43 inches, the 9-light is 45.67, so it's ten inches longer with two more globes. Go by your table: the 7-light suits 4.5 to 6 feet, the 9-light suits 6 to 7.5 feet. The rule most people use is for the fixture to be between half and two thirds the length of the surface. The 9-light also gives you roughly a third more light, which matters if it's the only fixture over the table.

The ESTERA 9-Light is 45.67 inches long. For a rectangular table or island of 6 to 7.5 feet it centres well with room at either end. Aim for the fixture to be between half and two thirds the length of the surface. If your table is shorter than about 6 feet, the 7-light at 35.43 inches is the better proportion.

45.67 inches (1160 mm) long and 10.63 inches (270 mm) deep. Maximum drop is 54.33 inches (1380 mm) including the cords, and it's adjustable, so you shorten it during install.

Black is the stronger contrast and reads as a graphic line across the ceiling, which suits a cooler or more modern room. Dark brown is warmer and sits closer in tone to oak, walnut and leather, so the frame recedes a little and the globes do more of the work. Both use the same opal glass.

It hides the bulb completely. Each globe glows at an even brightness rather than showing a bright point inside, so you can sit under it at a dining table without glare in your eyes. That's the main reason opal is used on a fixture hung this low over a surface people sit at.

Around 28 to 34 inches from the tabletop to the bottom of the globes is standard for dining. Over a kitchen island or counter, 30 to 36 inches. Higher spreads the light wider, lower concentrates it. The drop is adjustable up to 54.33 inches, so you set it during install.

Nine E12 candelabra bulbs, not included, so you pick your own colour temperature. Use LED. Nine bulbs is a lot of light over one table, so most people run lower-output bulbs or put the fixture on a dimmer. 2700K for a warm dining feel, 3000K if you want it crisper over a kitchen.

One. All nine lights run from a single canopy, so there's no extra wiring or additional junction boxes.

Yes, with an external dimmer switch or dimmable smart bulbs. There's no integrated dimmer in the fixture, so you can use whatever system you already have. Worth doing with nine bulbs. If you're on a wall dimmer, make sure it's rated for LED loads.

Yes. cUL listed for both Canada and the US, so it passes inspection and won't cause issues with insurance or a home sale. Made in Poland by TK Lighting.

It's a hardwired fixture that requires installation. If you're replacing an existing ceiling light on the same box, many people handle it themselves. If you're adding a new box or moving the location, use a licensed electrician.

Turn it off and let the bulbs cool first. A dry microfibre cloth handles dust. For marks, a barely damp cloth and a dry buff. Don't spray cleaner directly at the fixture, spray the cloth.

No, it's rated for dry locations only. Keep it out of bathrooms with a shower or tub, and out of anywhere exposed to damp, including covered outdoor areas.
