The way you light a gothic chandelier will vary depending on how much light you need in the room in question and the specific make of your gothic chandelier. However, to get the right type of vibe that matches the aesthetic of your gothic chandelier, a great option is to use candles. As wax candles with a real flame might not be practical or safe for your home, consider purchasing faux candles with flickering LED lights, instead. This will allow you to retain the ambiance you want and still have a good amount of control over the type of lighting you have.
