Product Information

Full details

The Original BTC Hector Dome Wall Light is designed for homeowners and renters seeking a blend of industrial-inspired style and practical, adjustable lighting. Its key benefit is the adaptable translucent bone china shade that allows precise light direction for task lighting or ambient glow. A potential caveat is the need for a compatible bulb (E14 for the small version) and potentially professional installation for switched/unswitched versions.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

For plug & cable version, ensure the plug is securely in the socket and the wall socket is functional. For switched/unswitched versions, check the mains power supply and fuse. Ensure the correct bulb is installed and functioning.

Flickering light

Check if the bulb is screwed in tightly. If using a dimmable bulb, ensure it is compatible with your dimmer switch or try a different bulb.

Loose fitting shade

Gently check the fixture where the shade attaches. If there is a securing mechanism, ensure it is tightened appropriately without over-tightening.
