All of our antler lighting is made from naturally shed antlers collected from the wild, no animals are harmed. The shed antlers we use are purchased from dealers and shed collectors all over the Rocky Mountain Range.

Inside wiring of antler lighting is time consuming and takes skill and practice. Each antler is carefully drilled with a long straight bit, and then we fish all the wiring through the inside by hand.. The finest quality chandeliers have hidden wiring, so we wouldn’t want to do it any other way.

All of our lighting is built with UL Approved parts, tested for polarity and given a 1000 volt overload test. The Peak Antler Company carries a 2 million dollar liability insurance policy, and we are proud of our 20 year track record without ever having a wiring problem on any of our lighting products.

Our chandeliers are built to handle a maximum of 60 Watts per lamp. This is more than adequate for a chandelier – do not exceed the recommended wattage. But we now provide with each chandelier a 40 Watt Equivalent LED bulbs (4 Watt), Dimmable , warm white 2700K . Estimated 20,000 hour life expectancy.

Interior Designers use a simple formula that can help you decide: 

Add the width and length of the room in feet, and then convert that to inches. 

For example, if you have an average 16 x 16 dining room, that adds up to 32, so a 32″ chandelier would be the minimum size. If your dining table is the typical 42″ width, then a 32″ diameter chandelier won’t overwhelm the table. Hang your chandelier about 30″ above the tabletop so it lights the table but is above your guests heads when they sit. 

For the height of your chandelier, measure from the top of your dining table to the ceiling, and subtract 30″. This number is the space available up to the ceiling. If you have an 8 foot ceiling, you’ll likely have about 36″ to work with, so your chandelier should be a maximum of 32-34″ tall. 

For larger rooms, think about whether the chandelier will hang over a table, or be used to light the entire room. If it’s going to light a table, then keep the size scaled to the table size. For a long narrow table, you may need two chandeliers. If you’re lighting a large room, consider your ceiling height and how many bulbs you need for good lighting. The bottom of the chandelier needs to be at least 7 feet above the floor so people can walk underneath it. With very tall ceilings, you have plenty of space for tall, beautiful chandeliers.
