FAQs

What type of bulb should I use with the Hive Pendant Light?

The Hive Pendant Light is compatible with standard E26/E27 base bulbs. We recommend using LED bulbs for optimal energy efficiency and to minimize heat output, which is beneficial for the cardboard material.

Is the cardboard material treated for safety?

Yes, every Scraplight, including the Hive Pendant, is treated with a non-toxic fire retardant for safety and durability.

How should I clean the pendant light?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can this pendant light be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

Due to its cardboard construction, it is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or steamy kitchens, as moisture can damage the material.

What are the dimensions of this specific Hive Pendant Light?

This specific model, the Graypants Hive Pendant Light - Natural / Diameter : 23cm, has a diameter of 23cm and a height of 28cm.

Is the assembly difficult?

The pendant itself is handcrafted. Installation involves attaching the bulb and cord set to the inner ring and then mounting it to your ceiling, which typically requires basic electrical knowledge or the assistance of an electrician.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the retailer's warranty information for specific details, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the bulb is screwed in correctly and not burned out. Verify the power supply is on and the fixture is wired properly. Ensure the main power switch is activated.

Dim or flickering light

The bulb may be loose or nearing the end of its life. Try replacing the bulb. Check the wiring connections for any looseness. If using a dimmer switch, ensure compatibility with the bulb type.

Uneven light diffusion

Ensure the bulb is centered correctly using the custom inner ring. Check for any obstructions or damage to the cardboard layers.

Deterioration of material

This is typically due to moisture or excessive heat. Relocate the fixture to a drier, cooler area and ensure it's kept away from heat sources. If damage is significant, replacement may be necessary.
