FAQs

What material is the Hector Pleat Ceiling Light made from?

The shade is crafted from high-quality bone china, with metalwork available in finishes like brushed aluminium, satin brass, and antique brass.

Is the brushed aluminium finish prone to fingerprints?

Brushed finishes can show fingerprints, but they are generally less noticeable than on highly polished surfaces. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help maintain its appearance.

What type of bulb should I use with this light?

Please refer to the product's specific documentation for recommended bulb type and wattage. It is often compatible with standard screw-in bulbs. Check if it is dimmable.

Can this light be used in a bathroom?

This fixture is generally intended for dry indoor areas. Use in bathrooms would depend on specific moisture ratings and local building codes; consult with an electrician.

How do I choose between the different sizes?

Consider the dimensions of your room. Larger rooms may benefit from larger fixtures or multiple smaller ones, while smaller spaces are better suited to more compact sizes to maintain balance.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please check the product packaging or contact customer support for specific warranty details.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes, professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safe and correct setup.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check that the bulb is correctly installed and functional. Verify all wiring connections are secure (if applicable and safe to check).

Flickering light

Check the bulb for proper seating and consider replacing the bulb. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with LED bulbs (if applicable) and try adjusting the dimmer setting.
