FAQs

Is this light suitable for a shower enclosure?

Yes, the Mini Globe wall light is designed to be suitable for use in bathrooms, including areas near water.

What type of bulb should I use?

This fixture typically requires a specific type of low-energy LED bulb, often with a G9 base. Please consult the product's technical specification sheet for the exact recommended bulb type and maximum wattage.

How should I clean the Anthracite glass globe?

Gently wipe the glass with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry with a separate soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can I install this light outdoors?

Yes, this model is also suitable for outdoor use. Ensure it is installed in a location protected from direct, harsh weather elements where possible for longevity.

What is the difference between the Anthracite and other glass finishes?

The Anthracite finish is a smokey grey glass, offering a more subdued and atmospheric light compared to the clear or pearlescent opal finishes, which provide brighter illumination.

Does the Chrome wall plate tarnish?

Polished chrome is generally resistant to tarnishing, but like all metal finishes, it can benefit from regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a suitable chrome polish to maintain its shine.

Are spare parts available if the glass breaks?

Spare globes and other components may be available. Please contact Original BTC customer support or your retailer for information on obtaining replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Ensure the power is switched on at the wall and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the bulb is correctly installed and functional. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.

Flickering light.

Check the bulb connection and ensure it is securely seated. If using an LED bulb, confirm it is compatible with the fixture and dimmer (if applicable). Replace the bulb if it is old or faulty.

Loose globe.

Turn off the power supply. Carefully re-screw the glass globe onto the fixture until it is snug. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the glass or threads.

Visible imperfections in the glass.

Minor variations in handblown glass are normal and part of its artisanal character. If the imperfections are significant or detract from the aesthetic, contact customer support.
