FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the PH 5 shade system?
The system is designed to eliminate glare while reflecting and redirecting light to create both task and ambient illumination.
Can I use this light with a dimmer?
Yes, provided you use a compatible dimmable light bulb and a suitable dimmer switch.
How should I clean the blue finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemicals that could strip or scratch the colored surface.
Is this lamp suitable for rooms with low ceilings?
Due to its size, it is best suited for rooms with standard to high ceilings where it can hang freely without obstructing views.
What type of light bulb is recommended?
A standard LED bulb with warm light output is recommended to maintain the intended atmosphere of the lamp.
Troubleshooting
Visible glare when sitting at the table
Adjust the mounting height of the pendant to ensure the light source is properly shielded by the shade system.
Uneven light distribution
Verify that the shade assembly is perfectly level and that the bulb is centered correctly within the reflective structure.
Light flickering
Check that the bulb is compatible with your dimmer switch and that the connection points in the canopy are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, the fixture should be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and stability. Compatibility varies based on the light bulb type used; LED bulbs with a warm color temperature (approx. 2700K) are recommended to maintain the soft atmosphere intended by the original design. To clean the PH 5, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the blue finish. Regularly check the canopy and suspension wire for any signs of loose connections.
