FAQs

What type of bulb does the Hector Bibendum wall light use?

The Hector Bibendum wall light uses a standard bulb fitting. Please refer to the product's specific technical details for the recommended bulb type and maximum wattage.

Can I choose the cable colour?

Yes, the Hector Bibendum wall light is available with several different coloured cotton braided cables. Please check the product options for available colours.

Is this light suitable for a bathroom?

The suitability for a bathroom depends on the specific IP rating and electrical safety regulations for that area. Typically, this light is intended for living areas, bedrooms, or hallways. Consult a qualified electrician for bathroom installation advice.

How do I adjust the light direction?

The shade and stem of the Hector Bibendum wall light are designed to be manually adjusted. Gently move the arm and shade to your desired position. Avoid forcing the components.

What is the warranty period for this light?

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

Does it come with a light bulb?

Typically, light bulbs are not included with light fixtures. Please check the product listing or packaging for confirmation.

What's the difference between switched, unswitched, and plug options?

The 'plug, switch and cable' option comes with a fitted plug for plugging into a wall socket and an inline switch on the cable. An 'unswitched' version would require wiring directly to a wall switch. 'Switched' usually refers to an inline switch but may or may not include a plug, depending on the specific product configuration.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet (if applicable). Ensure the bulb is correctly fitted and not burnt out. Test the outlet with another device. If hardwired, consult a qualified electrician.

Cable appears damaged

Immediately turn off and unplug the light. Do not use the light if the cable is damaged. Contact customer support for a replacement cable or further assistance.

Shade is loose or won't stay in position

Gently re-adjust the arm and shade. If the issue persists, check for any visible damage to the adjustment mechanism. Avoid overtightening adjustment points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish and contemporary design that complements modern interiors.
  • Adjustable arm and shade for flexible lighting direction.
  • High-quality bone china shade for diffused, pleasant light.
  • Unique, colourful braided cable adds a playful element.
  • Designed by a renowned designer, offering a touch of heritage.

Cons

  • Specific cable and switch configurations must be chosen at purchase.
  • May require professional installation depending on the chosen configuration (plug vs. wired).
  • Primarily designed for ambient and accent lighting, not as a sole source for very large or task-intensive areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Depending on the variant purchased (plugged with switch or hardwired), setup may range from simply plugging into an outlet to requiring professional electrical installation. Ensure the mounting surface is secure. The lamp head and arm are adjustable for optimal positioning after installation.

Compatibility: The light uses a standard bulb fitting (check product specifications for wattage and type). It is compatible with standard household electrical outlets. Variants with plugs and inline switches are designed for easy use with existing power points.

Care: To clean, first ensure the light is switched off and unplugged (if applicable). Gently wipe the bone china shade with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. The braided cable can be wiped with a dry cloth. Ensure all adjustments are made gently to avoid damaging the mechanism.
