The Number After the Hyphen Is the Socket Count, and It Drives the Rest of the Order
Arabela part numbers end in a figure that most buyers read past. On every fixture in this range where the title states a light count, that trailing number matches it exactly. It is the socket count, and on a lamped brand it decides three things at once. It sets how many lamps you order alongside the fixture. It sets the connected load on the circuit. And it sets how long the installer spends on a ladder. A 68 socket chandelier is not a fixture purchase, it is a small project.
Seven fixture types and where each one belongs
The range is weighted heavily toward ceiling-hung decorative work. Ceiling-mounted parts account for 110 of the 170, wall-mounted for 26 and exterior for 16. Chandeliers specifically are cross-listed in chandeliers, where you can compare Arabela against the other decorative brands in the catalog on one grid.
Pendants lead at 55 products, each a single fixture hung from one canopy, followed by 38 chandeliers in multi-arm and multi-tier forms. Wall sconces account for 26 interior wall-mounted fixtures, and linear chandeliers for 17 long horizontal frames built for an island or a dining table.
The remaining three groups are smaller. Sixteen outdoor wall sconces are the only exterior fixtures in the range. Ten semi flush mounts sit on a short stem below the ceiling, and eight vanity lights go above or beside a mirror.
Reading an Arabela part number
Two segments carry information and both are reliable across the range.
A leading 85 marks an interior fixture and covers 154 products across all six interior types. A leading 65 marks an exterior wall sconce, and that accounts for all 16 of them. The middle digits are a model number within the collection rather than a size.
The number after the hyphen is the socket count, so the 7 in 85244-7 means seven lamps. Exterior parts such as 65010 carry no hyphen and no socket suffix at all.
So 85244-7 reads as an interior fixture taking seven lamps, and 65010 is an exterior sconce. The rule held on all 95 parts where the title spells out a light count, with no exceptions found. On the 59 interior parts that carry a suffix but do not state a count in the title, treat the suffix as the socket count and confirm it on the product page before you order lamps against it.
Nothing here arrives lit
No fixture in this range is an integrated LED product. Every one takes replaceable lamps, and the socket count tells you how many. Where the listing names a base, E12 candelabra appears on 60 products and E26 medium on 10, and both are stocked across the LED bulbs and lamps range.
Be careful with the remaining 100 listings, which do not currently state a base at all. On a fixture with 12 or 20 sockets, guessing wrong is an expensive return, so confirm the base with the product page or a quote before the lamps go on the order. The same reasoning applies to dimming. A lamped fixture does not dim, the lamp does, so the dimmer in standard dimmers has to be matched to the lamp you actually chose and to the total connected load of every socket on that fixture.
Collections that repeat across room types
Arabela is organized into named collections, the manufacturer's word for a design produced in more than one fixture type. Fire and Ice and Chateau each run to 12 products, Icicles to 11, Concentro to 10, then Anastasia and Cabana at nine, and Strata, Crystal Fusion, Sophie and Fiore at eight each. Around 30 named collections appear in total.
That structure is what makes a matched scheme possible, but it is not uniform. Before you promise a client the same look in the dining room, the entry and the powder room, filter on the collection name and check that the types you need exist inside it. On a range this size, several collections exist in one or two forms only.
Where Arabela sits in Lumera's catalog
Three type collections carry part of the brand. All 38 chandeliers are filed, all 26 wall sconces appear in wall sconces, and the eight vanity lights are in the vanity collection.
The 16 exterior sconces sit in outdoor lighting alongside the landscape and building-mounted brands, which is where to cross-shop them.
The gap is the ceiling-hung majority. Eighty two fixtures sit outside that. The 55 pendants, 17 linear chandeliers and 10 semi flush mounts have no type collection yet, so this page and site search are the only way in. Guidance on chandelier scale and hanging height sits in the lighting guides.
Ordering notes on freight, finish and glass
Twenty products are flagged for freight rather than parcel handling. On a decorative range of this scale that is what you would expect from the larger multi-tier chandeliers and the long linear frames. Catch it at quote stage on a job with several statement pieces, because it changes how the delivery is staged and unpacked on site rather than what the item costs.
Finish is fixed in the part number rather than chosen from a dropdown, so the same design in two finishes is two separate listings. Lacquered gold covers 65 products and satin brass 43, and everything below those two narrows the design choice sharply. Hand-formed glass also means unit-to-unit variation is normal for the material, so if a scheme depends on several fixtures reading identically, order them together rather than topping up later.
What to confirm before the order goes in
These fields change from part to part. Several are not consistently filled on the listings yet, so read the product page and ask where it is blank. Exterior and bathroom placement is judged against the code and the inspector rather than the catalog. Lumera's installation and code disclaimer spells that out.
- Socket count. Three to 68 per fixture. This is your lamp quantity and your load calculation in one number.
- Lamp base. E12 on 60 listings, E26 on 10, and not stated on 100. Confirm before ordering lamps.
- Location rating. Damp is tagged on 34 products and wet on 14. The tag is missing on the other 122, so read the rating on the listing rather than assuming dry.
- Overall dimensions and drop. Several listings give an adjustable hang range. On a stairwell or a double-height entry that range is the deciding spec.
- Material. Iron and glass on the large majority, with crystal on 31 listings, which changes both weight and handling.
- Fixture weight. On a large chandelier this drives the mounting and sometimes a structural check above the ceiling.
- Finish. Fixed per part number. Confirm the exact finish name rather than the family, since gold appears in three different treatments here.
- Freight handling. Applies to 20 items, concentrated in the largest pieces.
Socket count, lamps and rating questions on Arabela
What does the number after the hyphen mean?
It is the socket count. In 85244-7 the seven means the fixture takes seven lamps. The pattern matched on every part where the title also spelled out a light count, with no exceptions found across the range. Since nothing here is integrated LED, that number is also your lamp quantity, so a 12 socket chandelier needs 12 lamps ordered alongside it.
Which Arabela fixtures can go outside?
The 16 exterior wall sconces, whose part numbers begin with 65 rather than 85, and 14 of those are tagged wet rated. Everything beginning with 85 is an interior fixture. Bear in mind that a damp rating covers a bathroom or a fully covered ceiling and does not permit an exposed exterior wall. Check the rating on the individual listing rather than working from the part number alone.
Do these fixtures come with bulbs?
No. Every fixture in this range takes replaceable lamps that are ordered separately. Where the listing names the base it is E12 candelabra on 60 products and E26 medium on 10. On the remaining listings the base is not currently stated, so confirm it before you commit to a lamp order, particularly on the high socket count pieces where a wrong base means returning dozens of lamps.
How do I get a matched look across several rooms?
Filter by collection name rather than by fixture type. Fire and Ice and Chateau are the widest at 12 products each, followed by Icicles at 11 and Concentro at 10, and those are the ones most likely to cover more than one room. Check that the specific types you need exist inside the collection first, because a good number of the roughly 30 collections here are produced in only one or two forms.
Will a large Arabela chandelier work on a standard dimmer?
It depends on the lamps rather than the fixture. Add the wattage of every socket to get the connected load, then pick a dimmer rated above that figure and compatible with the specific lamp technology you chose. On a fixture with 20 or more sockets this can add up quickly, and a dimmer sized for a small fixture will run hot or fail.
Why do two fixtures in the same collection look slightly different?
The glass on this range is hand formed, so variation between units is a property of the material rather than a defect. If a scheme depends on several pieces reading as a matched set, order them at the same time so they come from one production run. Allow for the difference anyway when a client is standing under two fixtures in the same sightline.
