FAQs

What type of light bulb does the Foscarini Birdie Easy floor lamp use?

The lamp requires a specific type of light bulb, typically an E27 screw fitting. Please refer to the product's technical specifications for the exact bulb type and maximum wattage recommended. Using LED bulbs is highly recommended for energy efficiency.

What are the dimensions of the lamp?

The lamp has a height of 150 cm, a base diameter of 25 cm, and the lampshade has a height of 29 cm. The power cable is 270 cm long.

Is the light output adjustable?

The light output itself is not dimmable via a built-in dimmer. Brightness is controlled by the light bulb used. For adjustable brightness, a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch (if applicable to your electrical setup) would be required.

Can I use this lamp outdoors?

No, this floor lamp is designed for indoor use only and is not weatherproof.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information can vary by retailer. Please check the product documentation or contact the place of purchase for specific warranty details.

How is the light directed?

The design of the lampshade angles the light downwards, providing direct illumination, while also allowing some light to diffuse upwards and outwards, creating a softer ambiance.

Does it come assembled?

The lamp typically requires some assembly, usually involving attaching the stem to the base and fitting the lampshade. The power cord is pre-attached.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the light bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Try a different light bulb.

Flickering light

This could be due to a loose bulb or a faulty bulb. Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly. If the issue persists, try replacing the bulb.

Base feels unstable

Verify that all parts of the base and stem are securely fastened. Ensure the lamp is placed on a level surface.

Lampshade is dusty or dirty

Unplug the lamp. Gently wipe the lampshade with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents.
