Try to yell at it.

There is a persistent bug in the upper ceiling of Hakkvild's High Hall that extinguishes any light placed up there. However, if you put the Dwarven sun in the top portion of the dome, you can see how beautiful it is without the perma-glare.

You would think for 100 gems that you could at least turn the thing off and on. @ZOS_CullenLee , is this a bug, or just an oversight?

Thanks for the response, but I am familiar with all of those lighting options. I was interested in this because I had to put two of the Clockwork capsules into the dome in Potentate’s Retreat and I’m not sure how to disguise them. The sphere would not be useful though because I think it would attenuate the light too much.

Lighting objects emit a certain amount of light - i.e. a certain intensity which may diminish over a certain radius until it stops - but I don't think anything attenuates light.

You may have the impression that light can be attenuated if you've placed low radius lights inside other furnishings or behind walls, but I think that's just the effect of you now only being able to see the diminished outer radius.

The spheres aren't hugely expensive. Or there's the PTS.

What we need, for very big houses, is a giant chandelier, in a tasteful, universally appropriate design (as far as possible), with a very long chain, that gives off a warm, slightly flickering, white light.

Flip a bosmer throne upside down and it becomes a lovely, long flower covered vine. Which combines nicely with the bosmer censer.



Can't see it too well in that image because of the super high ceiling, but lower, those give off quite a lot of light.

For a whiter light, stuff a blue light inside them, eg. one of the small psijic globes.

Of course that style might not suit your home or tastes, but same trick could double the length of existing chandelier chains - flip one upside down and shove into the ceiling.

Though it would be better if ZO could just lengthen the chains on existing ones. I've just browsed through them now and most of them look too short.

The Bosmer idea is nice - I would like more vine covered stuff, anyway.

Yeah, unfortuately, when it comes to the Palace in Hew's Bane, for example - which is appropriately named, as it turns out, as the Palace has been the bane of most decorators' furnishing lives(!) - even two chain lengths wouldn't be enough.

Also, the extra furnishing slots you would have to use would be totally prohibitive, if you are already only using traditional lighting to light the place and not "cheating" in any way, with hidden giant, or magical, stuff.

The only problem with lengthening all the chains, is that they will then stick through less high ceilings.

You already can't use the Redguard chandeliers on the ground (/first) floor in Hunding's, for that reason, for example; apart from under the arches, in the centre of the downstairs area.

In an ideal world (game!) the chains would adjust according to the height of the ceiling...

Alternatively, there would be (unlimited) extension chains, which came with the chandelier, which would attach automatically (very fiddly to do it manually!), or would come attached to it, but would be detachable and would cost no extra furnishing slots.

We, ideally, just need a really big, Redguard Chandelier (with a long, relatively thick central chain), anyway.

As the others just aren't big enough for big areas and are also asymmetrically triangular in shape (with the three braziers); rather than symmetrically hexagonal, or octagonal, or star shaped.
