FAQs

What type of bulb does this light use?

This light uses an E27 base bulb. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. LED or dimmable bulbs are recommended.

Is this light suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, with an IP54 rating, it is protected against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for use in bathrooms and other damp areas.

Can I dim this light?

Yes, the light is dimmable, provided you use it with a compatible dimmer switch and dimmable E27 bulbs.

What are the available finishes?

The Ship's Companionway Light is available in polished brass, weathered brass, and chrome-plated finishes.

How do I clean the weathered brass finish?

For weathered brass, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can alter the intended patina. A light polish with a soft cloth is usually sufficient.

Does it come with a bulb?

No, the E27 bulb is not included with the light fixture.

What does IP54 rating mean?

An IP54 rating means the fixture is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like dust) and from splashing water coming from any direction.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the E27 bulb is correctly screwed in and is functional. Verify all wiring connections are secure.

Flickering light

Ensure the E27 bulb is securely fitted. If using a dimmer, check for compatibility with your bulb type. Replace the bulb if it is nearing the end of its lifespan.

Reduced brightness

Clean the glass and the bulb. If the bulb is old, it may be losing efficiency; consider replacing it with a new one.

Corrosion on metal parts

For weathered brass, this is a natural patina. For other finishes, clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For significant corrosion, consult a professional for restoration advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Davey Ship's Companionway Light should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and proper connection. The fixture requires an E27 base bulb (not included). Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before commencing any electrical work.

Compatibility:

  • Bulb Type: Compatible with E27 base bulbs. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and longevity. Ensure the bulb's wattage does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating.
  • Dimmer Switch: Fully dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer switch and dimmable E27 bulbs.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For regular cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, especially on the weathered brass finish, as they can damage the patina.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the glass seal to ensure it remains intact and the fixture is free from debris. For weathered brass, a light polish with a soft cloth is usually sufficient; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Weathered Brass Finish: This finish is designed to develop a natural patina over time. If a more uniform look is desired, specific brass care products can be used sparingly, following their instructions.
