FAQs

What type of bulb does this light use?

The Jielde Loft Two Arm Reading Light is compatible with standard screw-in bulbs (E27 base). It is recommended to use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and longevity, respecting the maximum wattage specified on the fixture.

Is this light suitable for a bathroom?

No, this light is IP20 rated, meaning it is suitable for general indoor use and offers protection against dust and solid objects, but it is not designed for damp or wet environments like bathrooms.

How do I clean the Pink/Gloss finish?

Wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the gloss finish. Always unplug the light before cleaning.

Can the arms be locked in place?

The ball joints on the arms can be tightened using the nuts provided, which will hold the arms in your desired position. Ensure they are snug but not overtightened to maintain adjustability.

What is the reach of the two arms?

The combined reach of the two arms allows for significant extension, typically providing ample coverage for reading or task lighting from a central point. Specific dimensions can be found in the product's technical specifications.

Is the light dimmable?

The Jielde Loft Two Arm Reading Light itself is not inherently dimmable. However, if you use a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch (sold separately), you can achieve dimming functionality.

What materials is the light made from?

The light is crafted from durable aluminum and steel, reflecting its industrial design heritage.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Verify the power cord is securely plugged into both the light and a working electrical outlet. Check the light bulb to ensure it is correctly seated and not burnt out. If using a smart plug or switch, confirm it is functional.

Light flickers or is dim

Check the bulb's wattage and type; ensure it is compatible with the fixture and not exceeding the maximum allowed. Inspect the power cord for any damage. Loose connections at the ball joints can sometimes cause intermittent issues; gently ensure they are snug.

Arms are stiff or difficult to adjust

The ball joints may require slight adjustment. Gently loosen the nuts on the ball joints if they are too tight, or tighten them if they are too loose. Ensure no obstruction is present around the joints.

Base is unstable

Ensure the light is placed on a flat, solid surface. Check that the base itself is not damaged. If the light feels top-heavy with the arms extended, adjust the arms closer to the base for better balance.
