I think you have to determine the direction of the area where the chandelier is hung. You could think of the chandelier as having a lot of light energy (I'm using a crystal chandelier in a small space to help activate a power star - I leave it on all day until I go to bed), or water energy - which is really only beneficial in the north, or where it can be helpful (east, south east) - or not so good if it's in the west or northwest area of the floorplan - you might need to weaken it with a contrasting element - as water is weakened by wood, a plant might have double good effect here. Also, it may just disturb you if your personal energy is weakened by water - but of course still cure it!
It sounds as if you might also percieve the drops as being daggers or poison arrows, or perhaps the whole thing is just too large over your head when you walk under it.
If you determine the problem is not a compass direction issue, but a space one, such as the poison arrows, then you might try to divert the flow of traffic to keep people from walking directly underneath the light - stick a large plant there (the other good use for the plant) or a table and chair - part of the fun of Feng Shui is being creative with the activations!
I don't think it would effect people that much on a conscious level unless they pass through that foyer on a daily basis, then they might begin to feel the stress of it. I was sleeping next to a poison arrow and a shoulder injury I had began to get worse. It was like my body was unable to heal while I slept. I would wake up feeling like I had slept "wrong" on my shoulder every morning. I was out to buy some activations and I happened to be reviewing Marie's cd on poison arrows in the car on the way over, which lead me to buy a table runner to cover the corner that was directed at my shoulder while I slept. The first morning I awoke with absolutely no pain! I was astounded - and months later the pain has not returned and my shoulder has healed considerably better. I directed my headboard to my success direction and things have smoothed out - with some cool manifestations and better pay at work.
I come across lots of activations in discount home decor isles in max for the minimum stores - some are unexpected, like a pair of great Fu Dogs, a lovely convex mirror and a nifty wealth ship - I had no idea where to look for one, and one just showed up.
Also, for chandeliers in general, I put reveal type bulbs in the two I have and the difference is profound, much more like daylight. If you can clean the crystals with a bit of lavender oil in the solution that would help the overall energy of the chandelier and would feel and smell that much better too. I use lavender oil in a diffuser quite a bit, and you can find lots of lavender enhanced cleaning products out there - especially Method.
One last thing, I have to applaud LSC for producing another fantastic program! DFS is an awesome resource and learning tool, I just love it. Other great ones are AFL and SFQ. Highest quality production and information per dollar, hands down.
