FAQs
What type of bulbs does the Cheadle Chandelier use?
The Cheadle Chandelier uses 3 x 3W LED G9 bulbs. It is important to use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and longevity.
Is this chandelier suitable for all bathroom sizes?
The chandelier has dimensions of H:410.0 x W:45.0 x D:45.0 cm. It is best suited for bathrooms with sufficient ceiling height to avoid appearing too large or causing a head clearance issue. It can be a statement piece in master bathrooms or larger en-suites.
Can I use standard incandescent bulbs?
While it may physically fit, it is recommended to use the specified 3W LED G9 bulbs for optimal performance, energy efficiency, and to match the product's design intent. Using non-LED bulbs may also affect dimming performance.
How do I clean the opal glass shades?
Turn off the power and allow the bulbs to cool completely. Gently wipe the shades with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a cloth very lightly dampened with water or a mild glass cleaner, ensuring to dry thoroughly.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Cheadle Chandelier comes with a General 2 Years Manufacturer's Guarantee.
Can the brightness be adjusted?
Yes, the chandelier is compatible with dimmable lamps, allowing you to adjust the brightness if installed with a compatible dimmer switch and dimmable LED G9 bulbs.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the main power is on, the circuit breaker is not tripped, and the bulbs are correctly seated in their sockets. Ensure compatible dimmable bulbs are used if a dimmer switch is installed.
Flickering light
This could indicate a loose bulb connection or an incompatible dimmer switch. Ensure bulbs are securely fitted and consider testing with a different brand of dimmable bulb or a different dimmer switch if possible.
Chrome finish appears dull
Clean the fixture with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a cloth lightly dampened with water or a specific chrome cleaner, then buff dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes. Ensure the power supply is turned off at the mains before beginning installation. The chandelier comes with necessary fixings, but wiring and bulb installation are part of the electrical setup.
Compatibility: This chandelier is compatible with dimmable lamps, provided you use dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch installed in your bathroom circuit. It requires 3 x 3W LED G9 bulbs (not included). Ensure your ceiling can support the weight of the fixture.
