How do I clean the acrylic sphere without damaging it?

Clean the acrylic sphere using only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or rough materials, as these can cause scratches or cloudiness. Dry gently with another soft cloth.

Can I hang multiple Panto pendants together?

What is the design inspiration behind the Panto pendant?

Is the Panto pendant suitable for outdoor use?

The Verpan Panto pendant is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors can damage the materials and electrical components.

What are the dimensions of the Panto pendant?

The product information indicates this is a 'Small' variant, but specific dimensions would need to be confirmed via the product's detailed specifications or the manufacturer's website.

Does the Panto pendant come with a light bulb included?

Typically, pendant lights like the Verpan Panto do not include a light bulb. It is usually purchased separately to allow users to choose their preferred brightness, color temperature, and type (e.g., LED).

Troubleshooting

Pendant light does not turn on.

Verify that the power is switched on at the circuit breaker. Check that the light bulb is securely screwed in and functioning. Inspect the wiring connections to ensure they are correct and secure. If problems persist, consult a qualified electrician.

Light appears dim or flickers.

Ensure the light bulb is not nearing the end of its lifespan. If using a dimmer, check its compatibility with the bulb type (especially for LEDs). Try a different bulb to rule out a faulty bulb. Clean any dust or debris from the bulb and reflector area.

Acrylic surface appears cloudy or scratched.

Gently clean the acrylic with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For minor scratches, a specialized acrylic polish may be used following the product's instructions. Avoid using window cleaners or abrasive materials.

The pendant hangs unevenly.

Check that the suspension cable or chain is properly seated and balanced on the mounting hardware. Adjust the cable length or securing points as needed to achieve a level hang.
