Rank #2 in Best Modern Chandeliers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Bulbs That Aren't Included
KCO Gold Sputnik Chandelier, 7 Glass Globes, 110cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The KCO Lighting Sputnik Ball Chandelier sits at number 2 in this guide. It is a gold ceiling-mounted pendant with seven white glass globes on a brass-coloured frame, listed at £172.46 with 4.5 out of 5 from 622 ratings. Its distinguishing fact in this article is the one no other fitting manages: the listing says the bulbs are in the box. Seven warm white non-dimmable E27 globes "come as gifts" with the fixture, so the light you see in the product photos — a 7-globe linear pendant in the room — is the light you can switch on the day it arrives.
The numbers on its own page still fight each other. The spec table gives "Luminous Flux: 1600-2400 lumen" and, a few lines later, "Light Output Maximum: 4000 Lumens"; the same table lists Light Source, Lighting Method and Efficiency as LED, while the bullets describe seven E27 globes and the supplied ones are warm white. Voltage is 110V-240V in the bullets and 230 Volts in the specifications, and the star breakdown that accompanies the 4.5 rating adds up to exactly 100 against the 622 ratings quoted at the top. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing supplied to us, not from any test or measurement of our own.

Questions people ask
Do I need to buy bulbs for the KCO Lighting sputnik chandelier?
No. The listing says seven warm white non-dimmable E27 bulbs come as gifts with the fitting, and the after-sales note offers free replacement globes if one arrives cracked.
How many lumens does it produce?
The listing gives two different answers in the same spec table: 'Luminous Flux: 1600-2400 lumen' and 'Light Output Maximum: 4000 Lumens'. The actual figure depends on the bulbs fitted.
Can I use dimmable bulbs in it?
Yes. The bullets state that when you use dimmable bulbs it can be fully dimmable, though the seven bulbs supplied are described as non-dimmable.
What size is the KCO Lighting 7-light pendant?
The specification lists L110 x H35 cm, with each glass globe 15 cm in diameter, and the height is described as adjustable.
Is it difficult to install?
KCO Lighting says the fixture comes with a user manual and accessories pack for ceiling mounting and hardwiring, but recommends installation by a certified electrician.
What voltage does it take?
The bullets quote 110V-240V, while the specifications field states 230 Volts — both figures appear in the same listing.
