FAQs
What type of bulb does the Hector Bibendum Wall Light use?
The Hector Bibendum Wall Light uses an E27 screw bulb. Please refer to the product's specific wattage limitations, which are typically found on the fixture itself or in the manual.
Is the green braided cable replaceable?
The cable is an integral part of the design. If damaged, it would typically require professional repair or replacement by an authorized service center to maintain the integrity of the light.
Can I shorten the green braided cable?
While it might be physically possible to shorten the cable, it is not recommended as it could affect the electrical integrity and safety of the fixture, especially concerning the inline switch placement. Professional modification would be necessary.
What are the dimensions of the light?
Please refer to the product's technical specifications for precise dimensions, as these can vary slightly. Typically, dimensions will include the shade diameter and the projection from the wall.
Does this light come with a bulb?
No, the bulb is usually sold separately to allow users to choose their preferred type and brightness. Please check the product packaging or listing for confirmation.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information can vary. Please consult the original product documentation or the retailer's website for details on the specific warranty period and terms offered by Original BTC.
Can the inline switch be moved to a different position on the cable?
The inline switch is factory-set in a specific location for convenience and safety. Moving it is not a standard user-adjustable feature and would require professional electrical work.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and has not burned out. Check that the inline switch is in the 'on' position. Verify that power is supplied to the circuit and that the fixture is properly wired by a qualified electrician.
Flickering light.
This could indicate a loose bulb connection or an issue with the bulb itself. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new one. If the problem persists, consult your electrician.
Damage to the shade or cable.
If the bone china shade is chipped or cracked, or if the cable shows signs of fraying, discontinue use immediately and contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair service for replacement parts.
