This iconic fixture excels at providing comfortable, glare-free illumination by utilizing a sophisticated three-shade reflective system that directs light both downward and outward.

FAQs
What type of light bulb does the PH 5 require?
The fixture typically uses a standard E27 base. It is recommended to use a matte or frosted LED bulb to ensure the best diffusion through the PMMA shades.
Can I dim this light?
Yes, the PH 5 is compatible with dimming systems, provided you are using a compatible dimmable LED bulb and a matching dimmer switch.
Is the height of the lamp adjustable?
The cable length is adjustable up to 300 cm during the installation process to suit your specific ceiling height.
How do I clean the pink PMMA shades?
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For minor smudges, use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a very mild soap solution.
What is the diameter of the lamp?
The PH 5 pendant has a diameter of 32 cm.
Troubleshooting
Visible glare from the light source
Ensure the light bulb is fully seated in the socket; if the bulb is too long, replace it with a shorter globe-style bulb that sits deeper in the housing.
Uneven light distribution
Check that the pendant is hanging perfectly level; if the cable is twisted or the canopy is not flush with the ceiling, the light angle will be skewed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the PH 5 should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure the canopy is securely mounted to the ceiling junction box. The 300 cm cable can be shortened during the installation process to match your ceiling height. Regarding care, the PMMA shades are resilient but should be cleaned gently to maintain their translucency. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water, ensuring no harsh chemical cleaners are used, as these may scratch the surface or affect the finish of the shades.
