FAQs
What type of bulb does the small Hector Dome Wall Light use?
The small Hector Dome Wall Light uses an E14 bulb. Please ensure you purchase the correct type for your model.
Do I need an electrician to install this light?
The plug & cable version does not require an electrician as it simply plugs into a socket. The switched and unswitched versions require connection to mains wiring and professional installation is recommended.
Can I use an LED bulb with this light?
Yes, the Hector Dome Wall Light is compatible with dimmable LED bulbs, provided they are the correct E14 or E27 fitting and within the maximum wattage specified for the fixture.
How do I clean the bone china shade?
Dust the shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the length of the cable on the plug & cable version?
The plug & cable version includes a 1.5-meter decorative fabric cable with a fitted 3-pin plug.
Is the Hector Dome Wall Light suitable for bathrooms?
This fixture is generally intended for indoor living areas and bedrooms. Please check the product's IP rating for suitability in specific environments like bathrooms, which require higher protection against moisture.
Can the shade be rotated 360 degrees?
The stem and shade are designed to be positioned for directed illumination, but full 360-degree rotation may depend on the specific articulation points. It is designed for directional adjustment rather than complete rotation.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the light is securely plugged into a working power outlet (for plug & cable version). For wired versions, ensure the circuit breaker is on and the wiring is correctly connected. Verify the bulb is correctly seated and not burnt out. Try a new bulb.
Flickering light
This could indicate a loose bulb connection, a faulty bulb, or an issue with the dimmer switch if one is used. Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly. If using a dimmer, check its compatibility with LED bulbs if applicable. Try a different bulb.
Shade adjustment is stiff
Gently adjust the shade and stem. Over time, the mechanism may loosen slightly with use. Avoid forcing the adjustment, which could damage the components.
