FAQs

What type of bulbs does the Skye light require?

The Skye 55cm Sputnik Semi-Flush Ceiling Light requires 3x SES14 candle bulbs. These are not typically included with the fixture.

Can I use LED bulbs with this light fixture?

Yes, you can use LED SES14 bulbs, provided they are dimmable if you intend to use the dimming feature. Always check the bulb's specifications for compatibility.

Is this light suitable for a low ceiling?

Yes, the semi-flush design makes it ideal for standard or lower ceiling heights, as it sits closer to the ceiling than a traditional pendant.

How do I make the light dimmable?

To make the light dimmable, you need to install dimmable SES14 bulbs and ensure your wall switch is a compatible dimmer switch. The light fixture itself is designed to work with dimming systems.

What are the dimensions of the light?

The product dimensions are Height 29cm x Diameter 55cm.

What is the colour finish of the light?

The light features a combination of chrome and putty-coloured discs, with a silver overall colour family.

Can I install this light myself?

Basic DIY installation might be possible for those experienced with electrical work, but for safety and compliance, professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Verify that the power supply is on, check the circuit breaker, and ensure bulbs are correctly installed and functional. Confirm wiring connections are secure.

Flickering or inconsistent light

Check that the SES14 bulbs are fully screwed in. If using a dimmer, ensure both the bulbs and the dimmer switch are compatible and functioning correctly. Old or faulty dimmer switches can cause flickering.

Dimming not working properly

Confirm that both the bulbs used are 'dimmable' and that the wall switch is a dedicated dimmer switch. Ensure the dimmer is rated for the total wattage of the bulbs.

Light appears too dim or too bright

Adjust bulb wattage within the fixture's maximum allowed limit. If dimmable, use the dimmer to achieve the desired brightness level.
