Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this light come with a bulb?

No, the fixture requires one 60W Max E27 ES bulb, which must be purchased separately.

Can I use a smart bulb with this fixture?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard domestic smart light bulbs that use an E27 base.

Is this fixture suitable for a bathroom?

The product information specifies bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, kitchens, living rooms, and porches. It is not rated for high-moisture bathroom zones.

What is the maximum wattage allowed?

The fixture supports a maximum of 60W for an E27 bulb.

How do I clean the glass globe?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the glass. If necessary, use a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly on the fixture.

Is the black finish prone to scratching?

The finish is durable, but it is recommended to use soft cloths and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the appearance.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on after installation

Verify that the bulb is screwed in securely and check that your circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the bulb itself is functional.

Bulb is too large for the globe

Measure the internal space of the globe and replace the bulb with a shorter 'compact' style E27 LED bulb.

Light flickers when dimmed

Ensure the bulb installed is specifically labeled as 'dimmable' and that your wall dimmer switch is compatible with LED loads.
