Product Information

The vanity fixture I’ve selected has white faux alabaster glass. Can I get it with rust scavo glass?
Most of our glass shades for vanity fixtures are interchangeable and can be purchased separately from our distributors. Be sure to check with your distributor that the glass in which you’re interested will fit the vanity fixture correctly.

How do I order replacement glass or shades?
Most distributors stock replacement glass or can order it. Pricing information is available from your local Capital Lighting distributor.

How much chain and wire comes with my chandelier?
Most of our hanging fixtures include 10 feet of chain and 15 feet of wire. However, there are exceptions (e.g., pendants, petite chandeliers). Chain information is shown in our catalog and is also available from your distributor.

Can I get extra chain for my hanging fixture?
Additional chain is available for purchase for all hanging fixtures. It is important to identify the fixture for which you are ordering the chain to ensure you receive the proper gauge.

I see a fixture I like but would like it in another finish.
Fixtures are available in the finish shown on this website and in any other finish that is listed with the particular fixture.

Are installation instructions included with the fixture?
Installation instructions are included with all Capital Lighting fixtures. They are found in the orange parts bag inside the box. Additional installation instructions can be provided on an as needed basis. Contact your Capital Lighting distributor.

I find I’m missing a part to my fixture. What can I do?
Missing and/or replacement parts can be ordered through your Capital Lighting distributor.

My builder needs to know the backplate dimensions of the vanity fixture I’ve selected. How can I find this?
Your Capital Lighting distributor can provide you with this information.

Can I order fixtures in a custom size?
At this time, our fixtures are available only in the sizes shown.

How do I know what size chandelier is best for my dining room?
Generally, the diameter of a dining room chandelier should be equal in inches to the length plus width of the dining room in feet. Example: For a room measuring 12 feet x 15 feet, the fixture should have a diameter of 27 inches. (12 + 15 = 27).

How far above my dining table should a chandelier hang?
The chandelier should hang 30 inches above the table and 12 inches narrower than the table. If the dining room ceiling is higher than 8 feet, the chandelier should be raised 3 inches for each additional foot of ceiling height.

What can I do to prevent my polished brass outdoor fixtures from weathering?
Weathering over time is a natural process. A wax protectant can be applied to delay the process.

I want to extend or shorten the length of my mini pendant. Can I purchase extra rods or take out any portion of the rods that come with the mini pendant?
Each of our mini pendants is assembled using removable sectional rods in varying lengths. Additional rods can be purchased through a Capital Lighting distributor.

My fixture takes a 60-Watt bulb. Can I use a higher wattage for more light?
No. You may use less wattage, but never more.

Can I use a dimmer on my fixture?
Yes - and using dimmers will increase the life of the fixture’s bulbs.

What is the difference between damp location and wet location rating?
Damp indicates areas in which the fixture will have indirect contact with moisture (bathrooms, garages). Wet indicates an area in which the fixture may have direct contact with moisture (outside, breezeways, carports).

Will a mini pendant work on a sloped ceiling?
Yes. Our mini pendants come with a swivel on the ceiling canopies to handle very steep ceilings (almost 90 degrees of rotation on some models).
