Product Information

Full details

The Davey Lighting School Rise & Fall Pendant Light is designed for those seeking a blend of historical charm and modern functionality, particularly for dining tables and kitchen islands. Its key benefit lies in its adjustable height, allowing for customizable lighting atmospheres. A potential caveat is its specific aesthetic, which may not suit all decor styles.

FAQs

What type of bulbs are recommended for this pendant light?

The fixture is compatible with most standard bulb types (e.g., LED, incandescent) up to the maximum wattage specified on the fixture. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and longevity.

How do I adjust the height of the pendant?

Gently pull down on the shade to lower the light or push up to raise it. The counterweight system should hold the shade at your desired height. Fine adjustments may be needed to perfect the balance.

Can this light be used outdoors?

This pendant light is designed for indoor use only and is not rated for outdoor environments.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or Davey Lighting's official warranty information for the specific duration and terms, as this can vary.

How do I clean the hand-spun shade?

Dust the shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Will the copper finish change over time?

Yes, copper finishes will naturally develop a patina over time, deepening in color and character. This is a normal characteristic of copper and contributes to its unique aesthetic.

Is professional installation required?

While DIY installation is possible for those with electrical experience, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and proper function.

Troubleshooting

Pendant light does not stay at adjusted height.

Check the tension on the rise and fall mechanism. Ensure the counterweight is securely attached and properly balanced. Re-tension according to manufacturer instructions.

Light flickers or does not turn on.

Verify the light bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out. Check the electrical connection at the ceiling and ensure the power supply is on. Test with a different bulb.

Finish appears dull or tarnished.

For copper finishes, this is natural patination. If a polished look is desired, use a mild copper cleaner with a soft cloth, following product instructions. For other finishes, dust with a dry cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers flexible lighting solutions through its adjustable height.
  • Unique, handcrafted design adds character to any space.
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent use.
  • Classic design integrates well with various interior styles.
  • Available in multiple color and finish options for customization.

Cons

  • The rise and fall mechanism may require occasional adjustment to maintain optimal balance.
  • Copper finishes may develop a patina over time, which may not be desired by all users.
  • Requires sufficient ceiling height to fully utilize the rise and fall feature.
  • Can be heavier than standard pendant lights, requiring secure mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires a secure ceiling electrical box and appropriate mounting hardware, potentially with assistance due to the fixture's weight. Ensure the rise and fall mechanism is properly tensioned and balanced before final mounting. Consult a qualified electrician for safe installation.

Compatibility: This pendant light is designed for standard household electrical systems (110-240V). It is compatible with most standard dimmer switches, allowing for further control over light intensity. Ensure your chosen bulb type (e.g., LED, incandescent) does not exceed the maximum wattage specified for the fixture.

Care: To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For copper finishes, a specialized copper cleaner can be used sparingly to restore shine, though natural patination is expected and often desired. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the shade or mechanism. Periodically check the balance and tension of the rise and fall mechanism.
