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.
