FAQs
Is the light bulb included with the lantern?
No, the light bulb is not included. You will need to purchase a separate E27 socket bulb, with a maximum wattage of 100W.
What type of bulb should I use?
You can use any E27 screw-fit bulb up to 100W. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and longevity.
Can this lantern be used in heavy rain?
The lantern has an IP43 rating, which means it is protected against dust and splashing water. It is suitable for use in general rain but should not be exposed to high-pressure water jets.
How do I adjust the hanging height?
The lantern has a chain that allows for adjustment. The minimum drop is 400mm and the maximum is 500mm. You can shorten or lengthen the chain within this range during installation.
What are the dimensions of the lantern?
The fitting height is 285mm and the diameter is 185mm. The adjustable drop ranges from 400mm to 500mm.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Is this lantern suitable for coastal areas?
While made from durable materials, prolonged exposure to salt spray in coastal areas may affect the finish over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance are advised.
Troubleshooting
Lantern does not turn on
Check that the power supply is switched on at the breaker. Ensure the E27 bulb is correctly screwed in and is not faulty. Verify all electrical connections are secure and made according to the setup instructions.
Flickering light
This could be due to a loose bulb or a faulty bulb. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new one. Ensure the electrical connections are not loose.
Exterior finish appears damaged
Inspect the finish for signs of damage. If minor, a suitable metal polish or touch-up paint might be used. For significant damage, contact customer support.
Lantern is rattling in the wind
Check that the chain is securely attached. Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly. If the rattling persists, consider adding a small amount of vibration-dampening material within the fixture if accessible and safe, or ensure the mounting is robust.
