FAQs

What type of light bulb should I use?

This fitting requires one E27 screw-in light bulb. We recommend using an LED bulb for energy efficiency and a longer lifespan. Please check the fitting for the maximum wattage rating.

Is this light suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, with an IP54 rating, it is protected against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for bathroom use according to local electrical regulations.

How do I clean the fitting?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the power is off before cleaning.

Does it come with a light bulb?

No, the light bulb is sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible E27 bulb.

What does IP54 rating mean?

IP54 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like dust) and protected against water splashes from any direction.

Can the guard be removed for cleaning?

Yes, the front bezel, which includes the guard and secures the glass, can be removed using the provided stainless steel socket head screws for cleaning or bulb replacement.

What materials is this fitting made from?

The main body of the fitting is made from aluminium, and the bezel screws are stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Check that the power is switched on at the breaker. Ensure the E27 bulb is correctly installed and functional. Verify all electrical connections are secure.

Water ingress observed.

Ensure the front bezel is securely fastened with all screws tightened evenly. Check that the glass diffuser and seals are intact and properly seated. If the fitting is damaged, it may need replacement.

Flickering light.

Try a different E27 bulb to rule out a faulty bulb. Check the bulb is screwed in tightly. If the issue persists, inspect the wiring connections.

Corrosion or discoloration of aluminium.

Clean the fitting with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent issues, consider a specialized metal polish suitable for outdoor fixtures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Safety First: Ensure the power supply to the circuit is switched off at the breaker before installation.
  2. Mounting: The fitting attaches via a backplate. Feed the electrical cable through the rear entry point and secure the backplate to the wall.
  3. Bulb Installation: Unscrew the front bezel using the provided stainless steel socket head screws. Insert a compatible E27 bulb (maximum wattage as specified on the fitting), ensuring it is screwed in firmly but not overtightened.
  4. Sealing: Replace the bezel, ensuring the glass diffuser is correctly seated. Tighten the screws evenly to secure the bezel and maintain the IP rating.
  5. Power On: Restore power to the circuit and test the light.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or seals.
  • Bulb Replacement: Always switch off the power before replacing the bulb.
  • Inspection: Periodically check the seals and screws for any signs of wear or damage to maintain the IP rating.
