FAQs

What type of bulb does this fixture use?

Please refer to the product packaging or Davey Lighting's official specifications for the recommended bulb type and maximum wattage.

Is this light suitable for coastal environments?

The chrome-plated finish is generally more resistant to corrosion in coastal environments than unlacquered brass. However, regular cleaning is recommended.

Can I install this light indoors?

Yes, this fixture can be used indoors in areas such as hallways, utility rooms, or basements where a traditional aesthetic is desired.

How do I clean the frosted glass diffuser?

Gently wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the fixture is powered off and cool before cleaning.

What is the difference between the finishes?

Natural brass is unlacquered and will patina over time. Weathered brass has a treated finish for an aged look. Chrome plated offers a bright, reflective, and more corrosion-resistant surface.

Can the cable entry be adapted for different mounting types?

This fixture is designed for surface cable entry. Modifications to the cable entry should only be performed by a qualified electrician and may void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is on. Check the bulb is correctly seated and functioning. Verify all wiring connections are secure.

Flickering light

Check bulb compatibility and condition. Inspect wiring connections for any looseness.

Corrosion on chrome finish

Clean the area with a soft cloth and water. If minor, use a mild metal polish designed for chrome. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Difficulty removing wing nuts

If nuts are stiff, apply a small amount of penetrating oil and allow it to soak before attempting removal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
