Product Information

Full details

The Flos Parentesi Pendant Light in Nickel is designed for individuals seeking adaptable and stylish lighting solutions for modern living spaces. Its key benefit is the highly adjustable direct illumination, allowing precise light positioning without tools. A potential caveat is its reliance on a ceiling-to-floor suspension system, which may limit placement options in some environments. This pendant light offers a unique, flexible design with adjustable vertical illumination along a steel cable.

FAQs

What is the maximum height the lamp can be adjusted?

The lamp can be positioned anywhere along the full 4-meter length of the steel cable, from ceiling to floor.

Does the Parentesi light require professional installation?

While the basic setup can be managed, securing the ceiling and floor anchors requires a good understanding of structural integrity. For safety and optimal performance, professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.

What type of light bulb does it use?

The Parentesi pendant light typically uses an E27 (ES) bulb, but please refer to the product's specific technical specifications for exact bulb type and maximum wattage recommendations.

Can the cable be shortened?

The steel cable is designed to be 4 meters long. While it can be secured at various points, it is not designed to be cut. Excess cable length might need to be managed at the anchor points.

How do I clean the nickel finish?

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or discolor the finish.

Is the spotlight an optional extra?

The description mentions an 'additional spotlight for precise light orientation,' suggesting it might be an optional component or a specific variant.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not stay in place

Ensure the steel cable is bent sufficiently to create friction. Check that the cable is not excessively worn or damaged. Re-evaluate the angle of the bend for optimal holding power.

Light does not turn on

Verify that the fixture is properly connected to the power source. Check the light bulb for proper seating and ensure it is functional. Test the integrated switch for correct operation.

Difficulty sliding lamp body along the cable

Ensure there are no obstructions or kinks in the steel cable. Gently clean the cable surface if it appears dirty or sticky.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Secure Mounting: The Parentesi light requires secure anchoring points at both the ceiling and the floor (or a suitable wall anchor). Ensure these points are structurally sound.
Cable Installation: Unspool the 4m steel cable. Attach the ceiling and floor anchors according to the provided instructions.
Lamp Positioning: Slide the lamp body onto the cable. To adjust the height, gently bend the cable to create friction, then slide the lamp to the desired position. The friction should hold it in place.
Electrical Connection: Connect the fixture to your power source following local electrical codes. The integrated switch allows for easy operation.

Compatibility:

Room Height: Requires a minimum ceiling height that accommodates the full 4m cable and desired lamp positioning.
Power Source: Designed for standard household electrical outlets.

Care:

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the nickel finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as they can damage the surface.
Cable Maintenance: Periodically check the steel cable for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the friction mechanism continues to hold the lamp securely at different heights.
