FAQs

What type of light bulb does this fixture use?

The Hector 30 Wall Light typically uses an E27 screw-in bulb. Please refer to the product's specific documentation for recommended wattage and type to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Is this light dimmable?

Dimmability depends on the light bulb used. If you install a dimmable E27 bulb and have a compatible dimmer switch on your electrical circuit, the light can be dimmed.

What is the length of the braided cable?

The braided cotton cable length is primarily aesthetic and connects to the internal wiring. For hardwired installations, the visible cable length is minimal.

Can I install this light myself?

Due to its hardwired nature, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.

How do I clean the bone china shade?

Gently wipe the bone china shade with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What are the dimensions of the wall light?

Specific dimensions can vary slightly, but the Hector range generally features a compact and space-saving design. Please consult the technical specifications or product manual for exact measurements.

Does this model have a switch on the fixture?

This specific variant, the Hector 30 Wall Light - Hardwired / Grey cable, is designed for hardwiring and includes a retro switch on the fixture itself for operation.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power is on at the mains and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the bulb is correctly installed and functional. If hardwired, check the connections with a qualified electrician.

Flickering light

Check if the light bulb is loose or nearing the end of its life. Ensure the bulb type and wattage are compatible with the fixture. If the issue persists, consult an electrician regarding wiring.

Shade is loose or wobbly

Gently tighten any visible screws or adjustment points on the arm or shade mounting. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the porcelain or metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a hardwired wall light, meaning it connects directly to your home's electrical wiring. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safety and proper function. Ensure the mounting surface is suitable and secure for the weight of the fixture.

Compatibility: The Hector 30 Wall Light is designed to be compatible with standard UK and European electrical systems. It requires a compatible light bulb (type and wattage should be checked based on the fixture's specifications and local regulations, usually E27).

Care: To maintain the fixture's appearance, clean the bone china shade with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the finish. The metalwork can be gently polished with a soft cloth. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before cleaning.
