Setup, Compatibility & Care

The lamp holder is designed for specific bulb types, ensure you use a compatible bulb (check manufacturer recommendations for wattage and base type).

Compatibility: The Globe pendant is designed for standard household electrical systems.

Care: To clean the glass globe, switch off the light and allow the bulb to cool completely. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the glass. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. For the metal fittings, use a dry, soft cloth to maintain their polish. For the braided cable, a light dusting is usually sufficient.
