Product Information
Full details
The Mercer Wall Light is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a blend of vintage charm and modern durability for living, dining, or sleeping areas. Its primary strength lies in its high-quality steel construction and elegant opal glass diffuser, which creates a soft, welcoming atmosphere; however, potential users should note that the bulb is not included, requiring an E14 lamp to be purchased separately.

FAQs
Does this light come with a bulb?
No, the Mercer Wall Light does not include a light bulb. You will need to purchase an E14 bulb separately.
Can I use an LED bulb with this fixture?
Yes, you can use an LED E14 bulb as long as it does not exceed the 40W equivalent limit, provided it is also marked as dimmable if you plan to use a dimmer switch.
What is the maximum bulb wattage supported?
The fixture supports a maximum of 40W.
Is this light suitable for bathroom use?
This light is designed for general interior use. It does not carry an IP rating for high-moisture environments, so it should not be installed in showers or directly above sinks.
What are the exact dimensions?
The light has a height of 17cm, a diameter of 17cm, and a projection from the wall of 9.8cm.
Troubleshooting
The light flickers when dimmed
Ensure that the E14 bulb being used is explicitly rated for dimming. If it is, check that your wall dimmer switch is compatible with LED or incandescent bulb technology.
Light does not turn on at all
Check the circuit breaker for the room, ensure the bulb is screwed in fully, and verify the lightbulb itself is not burnt out by testing it in another fixture.
Glass shade appears loose
Gently tighten the mounting hardware or shade fasteners; ensure not to overtighten, as this could crack the glass.
