FAQs

What type of light bulb is recommended for the Globe pendant?

The design highlights an exposed squirrel-cage bulb. We recommend using an E27 screw cap bulb, such as an LED filament bulb in a squirrel cage style, for both aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency. Check the fixture's maximum wattage rating to ensure compatibility.

Can I hang multiple Globe pendants together?

Yes, the Globe pendant is designed to be hung in multiples. This allows for the creation of unique and dramatic modern lighting installations. Consider varying sizes and finishes for added visual interest.

How do I clean the glass globe?

Ensure the light is turned off at the switch and breaker. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the glass. For tougher spots, a mild glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth, but avoid spraying directly onto the fixture itself.

What are the available sizes and finishes?

The Globe pendant is available in three different sizes. You can choose from various glass finishes including opal, anthracite, clear seedy, and anthracite seedy. Metalwork options include polished chrome or brass.

Is this pendant light dimmable?

The dimmability of the pendant light depends on the bulb used. If you install a dimmable E27 bulb and connect the fixture to a compatible dimmer switch, you can control the light's intensity.

What is the warranty period for the Globe pendant light?

Please refer to the specific product documentation or retailer for information regarding the warranty period and terms, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Check that the power supply to the circuit is on. Verify the light switch is in the 'on' position. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed into the socket and is not burnt out. Confirm all wiring connections are secure and correct.

Flickering light.

Check for a loose bulb in the socket. If using a dimmer, ensure the bulb is dimmable and compatible with the dimmer switch. A faulty bulb or wiring issue may also cause flickering.

Glass globe appears dirty or smudged.

Turn off the power and carefully wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild glass cleaner on the cloth, avoiding direct spray onto the fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Original BTC Globe Pendant Light should be performed by a qualified electrician. The process typically involves:

  1. Power Off: Ensure the main power supply to the lighting circuit is switched off.
  2. Mounting Bracket: Securely attach the provided mounting bracket to the ceiling junction box.
  3. Wiring: Connect the pendant's wires to the corresponding wires in the junction box (live, neutral, earth).
  4. Affix Pendant: Attach the pendant fixture to the mounting bracket and adjust the cable length as needed.
  5. Bulb Installation: Install the chosen light bulb into the socket. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating.
  6. Power On: Restore power to the circuit and test the light.

Compatibility:

  • Bulb Type: Compatible with E27 screw cap bulbs. The design showcases an exposed bulb, so aesthetic bulb choices (e.g., squirrel cage filament LEDs) are recommended.
  • Maximum Wattage: Please refer to the product's specification label for the maximum allowable bulb wattage (typically 60W for standard incandescent, or equivalent for LED).
  • Dimmer Switches: If used with a compatible dimmer switch and dimmable bulbs, the light intensity can be adjusted.

Care:

  • Cleaning: The glass globe should be cleaned periodically to maintain its appearance. Turn off the power and use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the glass or metal finish.
  • Bulb Replacement: Always ensure the power is switched off before replacing the bulb.
