FAQs

Are the G9 lamps included with the spotlight?

No, the G9 lamps are not included and must be purchased separately. The fitting requires three 25W maximum G9 capsule lamps.

Can I use LED G9 lamps with this fitting?

Yes, you can use G9 LED lamps, provided they do not exceed the 25W maximum per lamp. Using LED lamps is recommended for energy efficiency. Ensure they are compatible with dimming if you intend to use the dimming feature.

What does IP44 rating mean for this spotlight?

An IP44 rating means the light fitting is protected against solid objects over 1mm in size and is protected against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in areas like bathrooms (outside the main shower/bath zones) or kitchens where moisture might be present.

Can this light be installed on a sloped ceiling?

The product description states it is suitable for ceiling and wall mounting. While the heads are adjustable, the mounting base itself is designed for flat surfaces. Installation on a sloped ceiling may require specific mounting hardware not provided.

How do I clean the opal glass orbs?

Ensure the power is switched off. Gently wipe the opal glass orbs with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for this product?

While specific warranty details are not provided in the product description, Knightsbridge, the manufacturer, is known for quality. It is recommended to check with the retailer for the exact warranty terms and conditions.

What is the difference between this polished chrome version and other finishes?

This version features a polished chrome finish, offering a bright, reflective, and modern aesthetic. Other available finishes, such as matt black, provide a different visual style to suit varying interior decors. The core functionality and specifications generally remain the same across finishes.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power supply is switched on at the mains. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct. Verify that the G9 lamps are correctly seated and not faulty. Test with new G9 lamps.

One or more lamps are not working

Remove and re-insert the specific G9 lamp. If the issue persists, the lamp may be faulty; try replacing it with a new one. Ensure the lamp is compatible with the fitting and wattage.

Flickering light

This can be due to a loose lamp connection, a faulty lamp, or an incompatible dimmer switch. Check lamp seating, replace lamps, or ensure your dimmer is suitable for G9 LED or halogen lamps.

Light is too dim

Ensure you are using the maximum recommended wattage (25W) G9 lamps. If using dimmable lamps, check that the dimmer is set to full brightness. Consider upgrading to brighter G9 LED lamps if available and suitable.
