Please refer to the technical specifications or product details for precise dimensions of the shade, stem, and projection from the wall.

Is the Hector Bibendum Wall Light dimmable?

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the light is properly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the bulb is correctly installed and functional.

Flickering light

Check the bulb for a loose connection or consider replacing the bulb. If using a dimmer, ensure bulb and dimmer compatibility.
