FAQs
What type of bulb should I use with the Davey Glass School Wall Light?
The fitting uses an E27 screw base. For the anthracite and clear glass options, a decorative filament or Edison-style bulb is recommended to showcase the design. Please check the product's specific maximum wattage rating to ensure you do not exceed it.
Is the brass finish prone to tarnishing?
The fitting features a weathered brass arm and backplate. Like most brass finishes, it may develop a natural patina over time. Specific care with brass cleaners can help maintain its original appearance, but the weathered look is often considered part of its charm.
Can this light be used outdoors?
This is an interior light fitting. It is not rated for outdoor use and should only be installed in dry, interior locations.
What are the available glass options?
The Davey Glass School Wall Light is available with shades in anthracite, opal, and clear glass.
Does the light come with a bulb?
Typically, bulbs are sold separately for lighting fixtures. We recommend choosing a bulb that suits the glass shade you select and meets the fitting's wattage requirements.
How do I clean the weathered brass arm?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a cleaner specifically designed for brass. Test any cleaner in an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the power is off before cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the power supply is switched on at the mains. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct.
Flickering light
This could be due to a loose bulb, a faulty bulb, or an unstable wiring connection. Check the bulb connection and try a new bulb. Inspect wiring for any potential issues.
Glass shade is loose
Ensure the retaining mechanism for the glass shade is securely tightened. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the glass or fitting.
