The description does not mention dimmer compatibility. If you wish to use a dimmer, ensure the bulb used is dimmer-compatible and consult an electrician.
What is the warranty period for this light?

How do I clean the opal diffusers?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the diffusers. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the polycarbonate material.
Can this light be used indoors?
While it could technically be installed indoors, it is specifically designed and rated for outdoor use. Its aesthetic is best suited for exterior applications.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Verify the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check the bulb is correctly seated and functional. Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
Flickering light
Inspect the bulb for damage or a loose connection. Check the wiring connections for any signs of corrosion or looseness. Consider replacing the bulb.
Corrosion on the aluminum body
Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply a clear coat sealant designed for outdoor metal if extensive corrosion is present. Regular cleaning helps prevent this.
Reduced light output over time
Clean the polycarbonate diffusers as they may accumulate dirt or grime. If the bulb is old, consider replacing it with a new one of the appropriate wattage.
