Product Information
Full details
The Flos Parentesi pendant light is designed for modern living spaces requiring flexible and direct illumination. Its key benefit lies in its unique, screw-free vertical adjustment along a 4m steel cable, allowing light to be positioned precisely where needed. A potential consideration is its reliance on a ceiling-to-floor suspension system, which may not suit all room configurations.

FAQs
What is the maximum reach of the cable?
The steel cable is 4 meters (approximately 13 feet) long, providing extensive vertical adjustment.
Does this light require professional installation?
While basic setup can be done by users, ensuring secure anchor points is crucial. Professional installation is recommended for optimal safety and stability.
What is the material of the cable?
The cable is made of steel.
Can the Parentesi light be used as a primary room light?
It is designed primarily for direct and adjustable illumination, making it ideal as a task or accent light rather than a sole source of ambient room lighting.
How do I clean the white finish?
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth for routine dusting. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry it.
What is the purpose of bending the cable?
Bending the cable creates friction, which acts as a locking mechanism, allowing the lamp to be fixed at any vertical position along the cable without the need for screws.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Parentesi pendant light is available in other finishes such as black, red, and nickel.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not stay in position
Ensure the steel cable is bent slightly at the desired height to create sufficient friction. Check that the cable is not excessively worn or damaged.
Light does not turn on
Verify the power connection. Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into its anchor point and check the integrated switch is in the 'on' position.
Cable feels loose or difficult to adjust
Gently straighten the cable to release friction, then re-bend it slightly to find a secure point. Ensure no kinks or damage are present on the cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Secure the ceiling and floor anchors provided.

Care:
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
