Product Information

Full details

The Flos Parentesi Pendant Light is designed for individuals seeking flexible and adjustable direct illumination in modern living spaces. Its key benefit is the unique, screw-free system that allows the light source to be moved vertically along a steel cable, offering precise light direction. A potential caveat is that the cable's friction-based positioning may require occasional adjustment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum reach of the steel cable?

The steel cable is 4 meters (approximately 13 feet) long, allowing for significant vertical adjustment.

How is the lamp fixed in place?

The lamp is held in position by friction created by the bent steel cable. No screws are needed to fix its height.

Can I use any type of bulb?

The Parentesi pendant light is designed for specific bulb types. Please refer to the product's technical specifications for compatible bulbs.

What is the warranty period for this light?

Please refer to the retailer or Flos official website for detailed warranty information specific to your purchase region.

Is the cable length adjustable?

The cable itself is fixed at 4 meters, but the lamp's position along the cable is highly adjustable.

Can this light be used outdoors?

No, the Flos Parentesi Pendant Light is designed for indoor use only.

Does this model come with an additional spotlight?

This specific variant is the 'switched' model. An additional spotlight for precise light orientation is available as a separate component or on different model variants.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the integrated switch on the fixture itself.

Lamp slides down the cable unintentionally

The friction grip may need adjustment. Carefully bend the steel cable slightly more where it passes through the lamp body to increase friction. Do not over-bend, as this can make repositioning difficult.

Light flickers

Check the bulb connection. If the issue persists, consider replacing the bulb. Ensure the power source is stable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Secure the ceiling-to-floor suspension system. The parentesi attachment will clamp onto the steel cable.
Once the cable is in place, the lamp body can be slid up or down the cable.
The bent cable creates friction to hold the lamp in position. Adjust the bend of the cable to control how tightly the lamp grips.
Plug into a suitable power outlet.

Compatibility:

This pendant light is designed for standard indoor electrical outlets. It requires a ceiling-to-floor mounting setup.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the lamp body and cable with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Positioning Adjustment: Periodically check the cable's friction. If the lamp slides down, gently adjust the bend in the cable to increase grip.
