FAQs
Does the fixture come with a light bulb?
No, the light bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.
What is the purpose of the PTFE plastic ring?
The PTFE ring serves as a diffuser to soften the light output, preventing glare and providing a more balanced illumination.
Can I install this light myself?
While some users may have experience with electrical work, it is highly recommended to have this fixture installed by a qualified professional to ensure safety.
Is the butterfly and dragonfly decoration fragile?
Yes, the insects are handcrafted and should be handled with extreme care during installation and cleaning.
Where is the best place to hang this light?
This pendant works best in dining rooms or kitchen areas where it can serve as a centerpiece, provided it is hung away from direct foot traffic.
How do I clean the fixture?
Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, as these can damage the artistic details.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to illuminate
Verify that the bulb is securely tightened and confirm that the bulb type matches the specific socket requirements of the fixture.
Dust accumulation on insect details
Gently use a can of compressed air at a distance or a very soft, fine-bristled brush to remove dust from the wings and appendages.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a professional electrician to ensure the canopy and mounting hardware are properly secured to the ceiling structure. Compatibility depends on sourcing the specific bulb type recommended by the manufacturer, which must accommodate the insect attachments. To care for the fixture, use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle duster to clean the insects and the bulb surface. Avoid using liquid cleaning agents or abrasive materials, as these may damage the hand-applied details on the insects or degrade the PTFE diffuser ring.
