Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Ensure the bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Check that the power supply to the fixture is active and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify compatibility of the bulb with the socket type (E14/E12) and wattage (max 60W).

Pendant is swaying excessively.

Check that the suspension chains are securely attached to the ceiling canopy and the pendant's upper frame. Ensure the pendant is centered and balanced. If sway persists, consult a professional installer.

Acrylic sphere appears dull or dirty.

Gently clean the acrylic sphere with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth, then dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.

Uneven light distribution.

The design intentionally diffuses light through internal reflectors. Ensure the bulb is centered within the reflector assembly. For a brighter or more even overall room illumination, consider adding supplementary light sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires a suitable ceiling mounting point and electrical connection. The pendant is suspended by three steel chains and includes a chrome metal canopy for a clean finish. Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and proper alignment.

Compatibility: The VP Globe pendant uses an E14 socket for 230V or an E12 socket for 120V. It is compatible with incandescent bulbs up to a maximum of 60W. Ensure the chosen bulb fits within the internal space of the reflectors.

Care: The transparent acrylic outer sphere should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the acrylic surface. Dust the steel chains and metal canopy with a dry cloth. Regular dusting will help maintain its visual clarity and appeal.
