The Material attribute shows the main substance used in the construction of a light fixture. This helps buyers understand durability, weight, and style, while sellers can highlight the quality or uniqueness of a product. Materials often influence the look and feel of a fixture — for example, crystal adds luxury, wood gives warmth, and metal ensures strength.
