FAQs

What type of bulb does the Hector Bibendum wall light use?

Please refer to the product's specific electrical details for the recommended bulb type and maximum wattage. Typically, it uses a standard screw-in bulb.

Can I choose a different cable color?

Yes, the Hector Bibendum wall light is available with different colored cotton braided cables, including blue, red, and green, as well as a white option.

Is this light dimmable?

Dimmability depends on the type of bulb used. If you install a dimmable bulb and have a compatible dimmer switch installed (for hardwired versions), the light can be dimmed.

What are the dimensions of the wall light?

Specific dimensions for the shade, stem, and wall mount are available in the product's technical specifications. Please consult these details for precise measurements.

Is the Hector Bibendum wall light suitable for bathrooms?

This light is generally intended for indoor living areas. Its suitability for damp environments like bathrooms depends on its IP rating, which should be checked in the product specifications. It is not typically recommended for wet areas.

How do I clean the bone china shade?

The bone china shade should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to prevent damage to the material and its finish.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Ensure the bulb is correctly installed and functioning. Check that the power source is active and the plug is securely connected, or that the hardwired connection is sound. For switched models, verify the switch is in the 'on' position.

Flickering light.

This could indicate a loose bulb, a faulty bulb, or an issue with the wiring connection. Check the bulb seating and consider replacing the bulb. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Shade or stem is loose.

Gently tighten any adjustable fittings by hand. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the components. If the issue is with the mounting, ensure the wall bracket is securely fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Hector Bibendum wall light will depend on the specific model purchased (switched, unswitched, or with a plug). For switched and unswitched models requiring hardwiring, professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. Models with a plug can be directly connected to a standard wall socket.

Compatibility: The Hector Bibendum wall light is designed to work with standard household electrical systems. It uses a specific bulb type (refer to product specifications for details) and should be used with appropriate voltage.

Care: To maintain its appearance, dust the bone china shade with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. The cotton braided cable can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry afterward. Do not immerse any part of the light in water.
