FAQs

What type of bulb does the Flos Overlap Suspension Pendant Light use?

The product details do not specify the exact bulb type, but it is designed to accommodate standard light bulbs. Always refer to the included manual or consult the manufacturer for precise bulb specifications to ensure proper fit and function.

Can this pendant light be used with a dimmer switch?

While the fixture itself does not include a dimmer, it is often compatible with dimmer switches. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to confirm compatibility with your specific dimmer setup and ensure safe operation.

How large is the Flos Overlap Suspension Pendant Light?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description. For precise measurements, please refer to the product's technical specifications sheet or the manufacturer's official website.

What is the 'Cocoon resin diffuser' technique?

The Cocoon resin diffuser is a technique pioneered by Flos where a steel internal frame is sprayed with a special resin to create a seamless, diffused lighting surface, offering a soft and ethereal glow.

Is the gold finish real gold?

The detailing is described as 'polished, gold-plated galvanic steel' and 'polished gold plate'. This indicates a plating process, not solid gold.

Can I clean the resin diffuser with household cleaners?

No, it is advised to use only a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Household cleaners or abrasive materials can damage the delicate resin surface.

Troubleshooting

Light flickers or does not turn on.

Ensure the bulb is correctly seated and is the recommended type and wattage. Check the electrical connection and consult an electrician if the issue persists.

Uneven light diffusion.

Verify the bulb is centered within the diffuser. Minor variations can be inherent to the handmade resin process.

Gold finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean gently with a specialized gold-plated metal cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This pendant light is designed for standard household electrical systems. Consult with your electrician regarding compatibility with dimmer switches if mood lighting control is desired.

Care:
