FAQs

What type of bulb does this light use?

The Hector Bibendum wall light typically requires an E27 screw cap bulb. Please refer to the product's technical specifications for the maximum wattage and recommended bulb type.

Is the green cable replaceable?

The cable is an integral part of the design. While it's not designed to be user-replaceable, other color variants and versions (e.g., switched, unswitched) are available if a different aesthetic is desired.

Can I install this light myself?

Professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended due to the hardwiring requirement.

What are the dimensions of the shade?

Please refer to the detailed product specifications or diagrams for precise shade dimensions. The shade is made of bone china.

Is this light suitable for a bathroom?

This fixture is designed for indoor use and is generally not rated for use in bathrooms where higher humidity and water exposure are present. Please check specific IP ratings if available.

Does it come with a light bulb?

No, the light bulb is typically sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible bulb.

What is the warranty period for this light?

Warranty details vary. Please consult the retailer or Original BTC for specific warranty information applicable to your purchase.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is active. Verify that the bulb is correctly installed and is not faulty. Confirm that the fixture is properly wired by a qualified electrician.

Flickering light

Check the bulb connection; tighten if loose. If the issue persists, the bulb may need replacement. Ensure the wiring is secure and has no intermittent faults.

Shade is loose

Gently check and tighten any visible screws or fittings that secure the shade to the stem. If the looseness is structural, contact the manufacturer or installer.

Compatibility: The light requires a compatible bulb (not included). Check the product specifications for maximum wattage and bulb type (typically E27 screw cap). The fixture is designed for indoor use.
