If you find that your chandelier is just too bright at dinner, or so dark that you can't see your meal, there's a simple solution without having to install a dimmer-switch. Alternate the wattage of the bulbs in your chandelier. 20/40 is usually enough wattage in an 8-bulb chandelier. You may need 40/60 in a 6 or 4-bulb fixture to make sure it's bright enough.
