Full details

The Original BTC Hector Bibendum Wall Light is a stylish, contemporary lighting solution designed for modern homes, offering good overall illumination and an ambient glow. Its key benefit lies in its adjustable shade and stem, allowing users to direct light precisely where needed.

FAQs

What type of bulb does this light use?

The Hector Bibendum Wall Light typically uses an E27 screw-fit bulb. Please refer to the product manual for specific wattage and type recommendations to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

Can I choose a different cable color?

Yes, the Hector Bibendum collection is available with different colored cotton braided cables. This specific variant features a red cable, but other colors like white, green, and blue are offered in separate listings.

Is the light dimmable?

The dimmable capability depends on the bulb used and the type of switch installed. If you use a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch, the light can be dimmed. The fixture itself is not inherently dimmable.

How do I adjust the light direction?

The shade and stem of the Hector Bibendum wall light are designed to be manually adjusted. Gently move the shade and arm to your desired position. Avoid forcing the components.

What are the dimensions of the light?

Please refer to the product specifications or diagrams for precise dimensions. Generally, the shade and arm offer adjustability within a certain range.

What is the warranty period for this light?

Original BTC products typically come with a manufacturer's warranty. Please consult the product documentation or the retailer's warranty information for the specific terms and duration.

Can this light be used outdoors?

No, this wall light is designed for indoor use only and is not rated for outdoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Ensure the light is securely plugged into a working outlet or that the wall switch is in the 'on' position. Check that the bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. If hardwired, verify the circuit breaker is not tripped and consult an electrician if necessary.

Flickering light.

This could be due to a loose bulb. Try tightening the bulb. If the issue persists, the bulb may need replacing, or there might be an issue with the wiring or the switch.

Shade or cable appears damaged.

Inspect the item upon arrival. If damage is found, do not install the light and contact customer support immediately for a replacement or repair options. Handle the bone china shade with care during cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Hector Bibendum Wall Light depends on the chosen variant (switched, unswitched, or with plug). It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially for switched or unswitched wall-mounted versions, to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.

Compatibility: This light is designed for standard household electrical systems. Ensure the power source is compatible with the fixture's requirements. The light requires a compatible bulb (not included). Always check the bulb type and wattage recommendations in the product manual to avoid damage.

Care: To clean the bone china shade, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material or the glaze. For the braided cable, wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the light is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.
