FAQs
What type of light bulb should I use with the Ktribe Table Lamp?
The Ktribe Table Lamp typically uses an E27 screw-fit bulb. It's recommended to check the specific product details for the maximum wattage allowed to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.
How do I clean the smoke-colored shade?
For the 'Fumee' (smoke) shade and other finishes, gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth and wipe carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Is the light from the Ktribe Table Lamp bright enough for reading?
The Ktribe Table Lamp is designed to provide ambient, diffused lighting rather than direct task lighting. While it creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, it may not be sufficient for detailed reading on its own. It's best used in conjunction with other light sources for task-oriented activities.
What are the available sizes for the Ktribe Table Lamp?
The Ktribe Table Lamp is available in two sizes. Please refer to the product listing or specifications for the exact dimensions of each size (e.g., 56cm height).
Can I use this lamp outdoors?
No, the Flos Ktribe Table Lamp is designed for indoor use only. It is not rated for outdoor environments and exposure to weather conditions could damage the lamp and pose an electrical hazard.
What is the warranty period for Flos lighting?
Flos typically offers a manufacturer's warranty on their products. Specific warranty terms can vary, so it is best to consult the product documentation or contact the retailer for detailed information regarding the warranty period and coverage for the Ktribe Table Lamp.
Does the lamp come with a light bulb included?
Often, designer lamps like the Flos Ktribe do not include a light bulb as standard. Please check the product's packaging contents or the sales description to confirm whether a bulb is supplied or needs to be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the light bulb is screwed in correctly and is not burnt out. Try a different light bulb to rule out a faulty bulb.
Light flickers intermittently
Verify the light bulb is securely seated in its socket. Check the power connection for any looseness. If the issue persists, the light bulb may be nearing the end of its life or there could be an internal wiring issue; consider replacing the bulb or contacting support.
Shade appears uneven or damaged
Inspect the shade for any signs of shipping damage or manufacturing defects. If it's a minor deformation, gentle manipulation may help, but for significant issues, contact customer support for a replacement part or unit.
