FAQs

What type of bulbs does this fixture require?

It requires two E14/SES base bulbs, with a maximum wattage of 40W each. Candle or golf ball shapes are recommended.

Can I use LED bulbs with this light?

Yes, this fixture is compatible with LED bulbs. For use with a dimmer switch, ensure you purchase dimmable LED bulbs.

Is this light suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, it has an IP44 rating, making it suitable for installation in bathroom Zone 2 and Zone 3 (areas outside of direct water spray).

Do I need a special dimmer switch for LED bulbs?

If you are using dimmable LED bulbs, you will need a dimmer switch that is compatible with LED technology. Check the specifications of both the bulbs and the dimmer.

What is the main advantage of the flush mount design?

The flush mount design means the light sits very close to the ceiling, making it ideal for rooms with lower ceiling heights or where a less obtrusive fixture is desired compared to a pendant light.

Are the bulbs included with the light fixture?

No, the bulbs are not included with the fixture and must be purchased separately.

How should I clean the frosted glass shade?

Gently wipe the frosted glass shade with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the surface.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power supply is on. Ensure the bulbs are correctly installed and screwed in fully. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Light flickers when using dimmer

Ensure you are using dimmable LED bulbs or compatible incandescent bulbs. Check that the dimmer switch is rated for the total wattage of the bulbs used. Some LED bulbs may not be fully compatible with all dimmer types.

Light is too dim

Verify that the bulbs used are within the maximum wattage (40W per bulb). Consider using higher lumen LED bulbs if brighter light is needed, ensuring they are compatible with the fixture.

Installation seems unstable

Double-check that the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the ceiling joists or appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened properly.
