FAQs

Is this light suitable for very exposed coastal areas?

Yes, the galvanised cast iron construction is specifically designed to be hard-wearing and suitable for coastal locations.

How do I access the bulb for replacement?

The reflector is held by brass wing-nuts, allowing for easy access to the lamp for replacement or cleaning without needing special tools.

What type of bulb does it use?

It uses a standard E27 (Edison Screw) bulb. Please ensure the bulb's wattage does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating.

Can I use this light indoors?

Yes, its versatile industrial design makes it equally suitable for contemporary indoor spaces with an industrial aesthetic, such as restaurants or lofts.

What is the difference between the 'canted' and 'right angle' arm?

The 'canted' arm is angled, often directing light downwards and slightly outwards, while the 'right angle' arm typically offers a more direct downward projection, depending on mounting. This affects the light's direction and spread.

How should I clean the galvanised finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the protective galvanised coating.

Is installation straightforward?

The fixture requires wired electrical installation and should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and proper function.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Verify that the power supply is active. Check all wiring connections for security. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and functional. Consult a qualified electrician if issues persist.

Flickering light

This could indicate a loose bulb or a faulty connection. Ensure the bulb is tightened. Check wiring connections. If the issue continues, the bulb may need replacement or there might be an electrical supply problem.

Corrosion on galvanised finish

While galvanised iron is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme coastal conditions might cause surface discoloration. Clean gently with a soft cloth and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. More frequent cleaning in harsh environments is recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and weather-resistant, ideal for coastal and exposed locations.
  • Iconic and historically significant design adds character to spaces.
  • Easy maintenance due to wing-nut access to the reflector.
  • Suitable for both outdoor and indoor industrial-themed settings.
  • High-quality British manufacturing ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Industrial aesthetic may not fit all interior design schemes.
  • Galvanised finish, while durable, has a specific utilitarian look.
  • Relatively heavy due to cast iron construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This light is designed for wired installation and should be fitted by a qualified electrician. Ensure the mounting surface is suitable for the weight of the fixture. The arm style (canted or right-angle) should be considered based on the desired light direction and mounting location.

Compatibility: The fitting accommodates standard E27 (Edison Screw) bulbs. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum recommended for the fixture to prevent overheating. It is designed for exterior use, rated for various weather conditions.

Care: Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain its appearance and performance. Wipe the galvanised surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Periodically check the brass wing-nuts and bolts for tightness. Ensure the glass is clean for optimal light output. For coastal locations, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial to prevent salt buildup.
