FAQs
What type of bulb should I use with the Globe pendant light?
The Globe pendant light uses an E27 screw bulb. For the best aesthetic, it is recommended to use a decorative filament-style LED bulb. Check the fixture's maximum wattage specification.
Can I hang multiple Globe pendant lights together?

What are the available sizes for the Globe pendant light?
The Original BTC Globe Pendant Light is available in three different sizes. This specific guide refers to the medium size (30cm diameter).
How do I clean the anthracite glass shade?
To clean the anthracite glass shade, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Wipe dry with a separate soft cloth.
Is the cable length adjustable?
Yes, the cable length can typically be adjusted during installation to achieve the desired hanging height.
What is the difference between the opal and anthracite glass options?
The opal glass provides a softer, more diffused light, while the anthracite glass offers a smokier, more dramatic diffusion, both with a contemporary edge. The choice depends on the desired ambiance and aesthetic.
Does this light come with a bulb?
Typically, pendant lights are sold separately from bulbs. Please check the product listing or packaging for specifics, but it is advisable to purchase your preferred E27 bulb separately.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the power supply is on. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and is not burnt out. Verify all electrical connections are secure (consult an electrician if unsure).
Flickering light
This could be due to a loose bulb, a faulty bulb, or an incompatible dimmer switch. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new one. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with the bulb type (especially if using LED).
Glass shade appears dirty or streaky
Clean the glass gently with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure all cleaning residue is wiped away with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Metal fittings show signs of tarnishing
Gently polish the brass fittings with a soft, dry cloth. For significant tarnish, use a specialized brass cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully and avoiding contact with the glass.
