Product Information

Full details

The Original BTC Stirrup 3 Uplighter in Natural Aluminium is designed for individuals and businesses seeking distinctive, industrial-chic lighting solutions for spaces like galleries and restaurants. Its key benefit is the ability to precisely direct light with a frosted glass visor that prevents glare, creating a softer ambiance. A potential caveat is its unique aesthetic, which may not suit all interior design styles. This uplighter features a positionable shade, inspired by searchlight designs, offering both focused illumination and a stylish statement piece.

FAQs

What type of light bulb does the Stirrup 3 Uplighter use?

The Stirrup 3 Uplighter uses a standard bulb fitting. Please refer to the product's specific technical details for the recommended bulb type (e.g., E27) and maximum wattage to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Can I use a smart bulb with this lamp?

Yes, provided the smart bulb has the correct fitting and wattage, it should be compatible with the Stirrup 3 Uplighter. Ensure the smart bulb itself is functioning correctly.

How do I clean the frosted glass visor?

Unplug the lamp. Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild glass cleaner. Gently wipe the visor, then buff with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.

Is the natural aluminium finish prone to tarnishing?

The natural aluminium finish is designed for durability. However, like most metals, it can dull over time if not cared for. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can this uplighter be used outdoors?

No, the Stirrup 3 Uplighter is designed for indoor use only. It is not rated for outdoor environments or damp locations.

Are there other colors or finishes available for the Stirrup 3 Uplighter?

Yes, the Stirrup collection is available in natural aluminium, black, and white finishes, as well as different fixture types like pendants and wall lights.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary. Generally, Original BTC products come with a standard manufacturer's warranty.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on.

Check that the lamp is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the light bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Test with a different light bulb if possible. Verify that the power switch on the lamp is in the 'on' position.

Flickering light.

This could be due to a loose bulb connection or an incompatible/faulty light bulb. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new one of the correct type and wattage. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Positionable shade is stiff or loose.

If stiff, gently try to adjust it. If too loose and doesn't hold position, there may be an internal adjustment screw. Refer to the manual or contact customer support for assistance.

Uneven light distribution.

Ensure the shade is correctly positioned and the frosted visor is clean. The design is intended for diffused upward light; repositioning may be necessary to achieve the desired effect.
