The light (also known as girandole , candelabra light , or, rarely suspended lights ) is a branched branching lamp designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. Chandeliers are often ornate, and usually use an incandescent light bulb, although some modern designs also use fluorescent and LED lights recently.
Classic hanging lamps have a crystal pendant prism arrangement to illuminate the room with bias light, while contemporary chandeliers assume a more minimalist design that does not contain prisms and illuminates the room with direct light from the lamp, sometimes also equipped with translucent glass covering each lamp. Modern Chandelier has a more modern design that uses LEDs, and incorporates classical and contemporary design elements; some also equipped with a prism of bias crystals or small mirrors.
The chandelier is different from the chandelier, as it usually consists of several lamps and hangs in a branched frame, while the pendant lamp hangs from a single cable and contains only one or two lamps with fewer decorative elements. Due to its size, they are often installed in hallways, living rooms, stairs, living rooms, and dining rooms. However, miniature chandelier also exists, allowing them to be installed in smaller spaces such as bedroom or small living room.
Chandelier evolved from the candelabra and was created during the medieval era. They originally used wax as their light source and remained in use until the 18th century, when a gas lamp, then replaced by an electric lamp, was invented.

History
The earliest candle candles were used by rich people in the Middle Ages; this type of hanging lamp can be moved to a different room. From the fifteenth century, more elaborate forms of chandeliers, based on the design of rings or crowns, became a popular decorative feature in palaces and mansions, priests and merchants. The price is expensive to make candles as a symbol of luxury and status.
At the beginning of the 18th century, ormolu ornamentations formed with long, curved arms and many candles were at home many in the growing merchant class. Neoclassical motifs are becoming an increasingly common element, mostly in cast metal but also in carved and gilded wood. Chandeliers made in this style also rely heavily on ancient Greek and Roman aesthetics, combining clean lines, classical proportions and mythological creatures. The development in glass making then enabled the production of cheaper lead crystals, light scattering properties that quickly made it a popular addition to the shape, leading to a crystal lamp.
During the 18th century glass chandeliers were produced by Bohemian and Venetian glass makers who were equally skilled in the art of candle making. The Bohemian style is largely successful throughout Europe and its greatest draw is the opportunity to obtain spectacular light refraction due to aspects and bevels of the crystal prism. As a reaction to the new Italian flavored glass factory in Murano created a new type of artistic light source. Because Murano glass is unsuitable for photography, typical work is realized at a time in other countries where crystals are used, venetian glass makers rely on their unique glass qualities. The typical Murano chandelier is an elaborate arabic flower of leaves, flowers, and fruits that will be enriched by colored glass, made possible by a special type of glass used in Murano. The glass they use is very unique, like a glass of soda (known for its incredible clarity) and contrasts with all the glass produced in the world at that time. Great skill and time is needed to twist and shape the candlesticks appropriately. This new type of hanging lamp is called "ciocca" (literally "flower bouquet"), for a typical polychrome shiny flower decor. The most luxurious of them consists of metal frames covered with small elements in blown, transparent or colored glass, with floral decorations, fruits and leaves, while the simpler model has a sleeve made with a unique piece of glass. Their form is inspired by the original architectural concept: the space on the inside is almost empty as decorations are scattered around the support center, keeping them at arm's length. One of the common uses of the great Murano Chandelier is the lighting of theater interiors and rooms in important palaces.
In the mid-19th century, when gas lighting was caught, a branched ceiling fixture called gasoliers (portmanteau gas and pendant lamps) was produced, and many candle chandeliers were changed. In the 1890s, with the emergence of electric light, some chandeliers used gas and electricity. As the electrical distribution widened, and the supplies became reliable, electric chandeliers became standard. Another word portmanteau, electrolier, is formed for this, but today they are most often called chandeliers. Some are equipped with lamp shaped to mimic a candle flame, for example shown below at Epsom and Chatsworth, or with lights that contain a glittering gas discharge.
The UK's largest glass chandelier in the world, (Hancock Rixon & Dunt and possibly F. & C. Osler) is located in the DolmabahÃÆ'§e Palace in Istanbul. It has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons. DolmabahÃÆ'§e has the largest collection of English crystal chandeliers and Baccarat in the world, and one of the big staircases has a Baccarat crystal ledge.
More elaborate and complicated hanging lamps continued to be developed throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, but the widespread introduction of gas and electricity has underestimated the appeal of chandeliers as status symbols.
Towards the end of the 20th century, chandeliers are often used as decorative focal points for the room, and often are not lit.
