Product Information

Full details

The Davey Glass School Wall Light is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a stylish, classic lighting fixture with a modern twist. Its key benefit is providing a warm, ambient glow that complements both contemporary and traditional interiors. A potential consideration is that the clear and anthracite glass shades are designed to showcase filament bulbs, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Safety First: Ensure the power supply to the relevant circuit is switched off at the mains.
  2. Mounting: Secure the backplate to the wall using appropriate fixings (not included) ensuring it is level.
  3. Wiring: Connect the light fitting wires to the corresponding mains wires (live, neutral, earth) according to local electrical regulations.
  4. Bulb Installation: Screw in the desired bulb (recommendation: E27, max wattage as per fitting specification – check product details for exact limits). For clear and anthracite shades, a decorative filament bulb is recommended.
  5. Final Attachment: Secure the glass shade to the fitting.
  6. Power On: Restore power at the mains and test the light.

Compatibility:

  • Bulb Type: Compatible with E27 screw base bulbs. For best aesthetic results with clear and anthracite shades, use filament or Edison-style bulbs. Ensure bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum rating of the fixture.
  • Voltage: Standard mains voltage (e.g., 110-240V, depending on region).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Brass Finish: The weathered brass may develop a natural patina over time. To maintain the original finish, use a specialized brass cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Always ensure the power is off before cleaning.
