FAQs

What type of light bulb should I use?

We recommend using an E27 screw-in bulb. For the best aesthetic effect, especially with the clear and anthracite glass options, a filament or Edison-style bulb is ideal. Please check the fixture's label for the maximum recommended wattage.

Can I use this light outdoors?

No, this pendant light is designed for indoor use only.

How do I clean the brass fittings?

For polished brass, use a commercial brass cleaner and a soft cloth. For weathered brass, a light dusting is usually sufficient to maintain its intended finish; avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is the light dimmable?

The pendant light itself is compatible with dimmer switches, but you must use a dimmable light bulb to achieve dimming functionality.

Can I hang multiple pendants together?

Yes, the Davey Glass School Pendant Light is designed to look striking when hung as a series of multiples, especially over a long dining table or in a large room.

What are the available glass finishes?

The Glass School Pendant Light is available in anthracite, opal, and clear glass finishes.

What are the fitting options for the chain and ceiling rose?

You can choose between a polished brass or a weathered brass fitting.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power is switched on at the breaker. Ensure the light bulb is screwed in correctly and is not faulty. Verify all wiring connections are secure.

Flickering light

This could be due to a loose bulb or a faulty dimmer switch. Try tightening the bulb or testing with a different, non-dimmable bulb to rule out dimmer incompatibility.

Glass shade appears uneven or has small imperfections

This is a characteristic of hand-blown glass and is not a defect. Minor variations in shape, bubbles, or swirls are normal for this artisanal process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, handcrafted aesthetic due to hand-blown glass.
  • Offers a choice of premium brass or weathered brass fittings.
  • Classic design with a modern material update.
  • Versatile for both single fixture and clustered installations.
  • Visually appealing, especially when paired with filament bulbs.

Cons

  • Requires a separate purchase of a compatible light bulb.
  • Exposed bulb design might not suit all interior styles or may require specific bulb aesthetics.
  • Hand-blown glass may have minor variations, which can be considered a feature or a con depending on preference.
  • Installation may require professional electrical work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure power to the light fixture is switched off at the breaker.
  2. Install the ceiling rose and secure the chain according to your chosen fitting (brass or weathered brass).
  3. Connect the wiring, following standard electrical practices. Professional installation is recommended.
  4. Attach the hand-blown glass shade.
  5. Install a compatible light bulb (E27 base, max wattage as specified on the fixture, filament style recommended).
  6. Restore power and test the light.

Compatibility:

  • Bulb Type: Compatible with E27 screw-in bulbs. Filament or Edison-style bulbs are highly recommended for aesthetic appeal, especially with clear and anthracite shades. Ensure bulb wattage does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating.
  • Dimmer Switches: Compatible with most standard dimmer switches when used with dimmable bulbs.

Care:

  • Glass Shade: Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap diluted in water and dry thoroughly.
  • Fittings: Polish brass fittings with a suitable brass cleaner. For weathered brass, a light dusting with a soft cloth is usually sufficient; avoid polishes that may alter the distressed finish.
