Product Information

Full details

The Original BTC Hector Dome Wall Light in White is designed for homeowners and designers seeking a blend of industrial aesthetic and functional, directional lighting. Its key benefit lies in its adjustable bone china shade and elegant braided cable, offering versatile illumination for task lighting or ambient glow. A potential caveat is the need to select the correct bulb type (E14 for small, E27 for medium) and the plug & cable version's suitability for spaces without existing wiring. This British-designed classic features a translucent bone china shade, an adaptable stem, and a sophisticated cotton braided cable, making it a stylish and practical addition to any interior.

Can I install the plug & cable version myself?

Yes, the plug & cable version is designed for easy DIY installation. Simply plug it into a standard wall socket.

Is the Hector Dome Wall Light suitable for bathrooms?

This fixture is generally intended for dry interior spaces. Please consult an electrician regarding suitability for specific zones in a bathroom environment.

How do I clean the bone china shade?

Wipe the shade gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Does the light come with a bulb?

Bulbs are typically sold separately. Please check the product listing for details.

Can I shorten the braided cable on the plug & cable version?

It is not recommended to shorten the braided cable yourself as it may affect the safety and integrity of the wiring. Consult a qualified electrician for custom length adjustments.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

For plug & cable version, ensure the plug is securely inserted into a working socket and the bulb is correctly fitted. For hardwired versions, check the circuit breaker and confirm wiring is secure (consult an electrician if unsure).

Flickering light

Check that the bulb is screwed in tightly. If using a dimmable bulb, ensure it is fully compatible with your dimmer switch and that the dimmer is set appropriately. Try a different compatible bulb.

Shade is loose or wobbly

Carefully check any adjustment screws or fittings at the stem and shade connection. Gently tighten if necessary, ensuring not to overtighten and damage the ceramic.
