Product Information

Full details

The Flos Parentesi Pendant Light is designed for individuals seeking adaptable and direct illumination in modern living spaces. Its key benefit lies in its unique vertical adjustability and customizable light direction, allowing users to precisely position light where needed. A potential consideration is that its ceiling-to-floor suspension requires a suitable anchor point, and the dimmer is integrated into the cable. This fixture offers a minimalist aesthetic with functional flexibility, featuring a vertically adjustable lamp body along a steel cable and an integrated dimmer for personalized lighting control.

Can I install this light on a sloped ceiling?

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify the light bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Test the dimmer switch.

Light fixture slides down unexpectedly

Ensure the steel cable is adequately tensioned and bent slightly to create sufficient friction. Re-position the lamp head and re-apply gentle pressure to the cable.

Dimmer is not functioning correctly

Ensure the fixture is powered on. If the issue persists, the dimmer unit may require service. Check bulb compatibility if a non-standard bulb was installed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Parentesi pendant light is designed for ceiling-to-floor suspension. Ensure a secure anchor point is available at the ceiling. The steel cable needs to be tensioned and then positioned vertically. The lamp head can then be slid along the cable to the desired height; bending the cable slightly creates friction to hold it in place. Plug into a compatible electrical outlet.

Compatibility: This fixture is designed to be plugged into standard household electrical outlets. The integrated dimmer is compatible with the included light source. Ensure the ceiling anchor is rated to support the weight of the fixture.

Care: To clean, first unplug the fixture. Gently wipe the cable and lamp body with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish. Ensure the cable remains free of kinks and damage.
