FAQs

What is the recommended bulb type and maximum wattage?

The pendant typically uses an E27 screw base. Please refer to the product’s specific documentation or label for the maximum recommended wattage to avoid overheating.

Can the pendant light be used outdoors?

This pendant light is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to the elements can damage the copper finish and internal components.

How do I adjust the hanging height of the pendant?

The drop height is adjusted during installation by altering the length of the chain. This process typically requires a qualified electrician to ensure secure and safe mounting.

Will the copper finish tarnish or change color?

Yes, copper naturally oxidizes and develops a patina over time, which can alter its color and appearance. This is a normal characteristic of copper. Weathered finishes are treated to simulate this effect.

Can I install this pendant light on a sloped ceiling?

The compatibility with sloped ceilings depends on the mounting hardware provided. Consult the installation manual or a professional electrician for confirmation.

What is the warranty period for this light fixture?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the light switch is on, the bulb is correctly screwed in, and the power supply is active. Check wiring connections if recently installed.

Flickering light

Check the bulb's connection. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with the bulb and the pendant. Try a different bulb.

Uneven lighting

Ensure the pendant is hanging straight and centered over the desired area. Check for any obstructions or damage to the shade.

Copper patina is not as expected

The patina on copper develops naturally over time due to environmental factors. Weathered finishes are designed to mimic aged copper. Consistent cleaning with a soft cloth will help maintain its appearance.
