Lead shot is the weighted material used inside the counterbalance to offset the weight of the sanctuary lamp. It is not included with this unit and must be purchased separately. The amount of lead shot required will depend on the weight of your sanctuary lamp.

This counterbalance is rated to hold up to 30 lbs., which accommodates most standard hanging sanctuary lamps.

The body measures 5-1/2" in diameter and 38" in overall height. It extends to 62" to allow the lamp to be lowered for tending.

Will this counterbalance match my existing brass sanctuary lamp hardware?
