No, this product is designed strictly for indoor use and is not rated for exposure to moisture or the elements.
The socket is rated for a maximum of 60W.
Yes, as long as the LED bulb uses an E27 screw base and its power draw is within the socket's rating.
No, this product is the bulb holder socket only; cables and ceiling roses must be purchased separately.
While it is made of high-quality porcelain, it is a rigid material that can chip or crack if dropped on hard surfaces like tile or concrete.
Check that the bulb is screwed in fully and verify that the wire connections inside the socket terminals are tight and making contact.
Ensure the center contact tab inside the socket is slightly raised to make firm contact with the bulb base, or test with a different bulb to rule out a faulty filament.
To install, ensure the power supply is completely disconnected at the main breaker. Feed your pendant cable through the top of the socket, strip the ends of the wires, and securely attach them to the internal terminal screws. Once the wiring is verified, assemble the housing. For care, keep the porcelain surface free of dust by gently wiping it with a dry, lint-free cloth. Never use water or liquid cleaners on the socket internals. Always ensure the wattage of your installed bulb does not exceed the 60W limit to prevent damage to the socket or wiring.
