Product Information
Full details
The Riva Antique Brass Semi-Flush Ceiling Light is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to elevate smaller spaces like hallways, entryways, or staircases with a touch of timeless elegance. Its primary benefit lies in its space-saving semi-flush design that provides substantial ambient light without cluttering low ceilings. While its refined antique brass finish and ribbed glass aesthetic create a sophisticated atmosphere, users should note that the fixture requires a separate SES14 bulb purchase and an external dimmer switch to achieve adjustable lighting levels.

FAQs
What type of bulb does the Riva light require?
It requires a single SES14 (Small Edison Screw) bulb.
Is the height adjustable?
No, this is a semi-flush fixture with a fixed height of 27 cm.
Can this light be used in a bathroom?
The fixture is not listed with an IP rating suitable for high-moisture zones; it is recommended for dry indoor areas only.
Does the dimmer switch come included?
No, the dimmable feature requires you to have a compatible external wall-mounted dimmer switch installed in your home.
How do I install the glass shade?
The glass shade is secured by the metal collar; refer to the provided manual to align the collar threads correctly during assembly.
Troubleshooting
The light flickers when using a dimmer switch
Ensure the installed bulb is specifically labeled as 'dimmable'. Non-dimmable LED bulbs are not compatible with external dimmer circuits.
Light fixture feels loose after installation
Check the baton fixing screws to ensure they are tightened securely to the ceiling mount and that the ceiling plate is flush.
Glass shade appears dusty or smudged
Gently remove the shade if possible, or use a soft lint-free cloth to wipe the interior and exterior ribs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves the included baton fixing system, which secures the ceiling plate firmly to the structural joist. Before starting, ensure the main power is turned off at the circuit breaker. This unit requires a single SES14 base bulb; ensure the wattage does not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rating to prevent glass overheating. For routine maintenance, wipe the metal components with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the antique brass finish. Use a glass cleaner or a slightly damp microfibre cloth for the ribbed shade, ensuring it is completely dry before switching the light back on. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the brass plating.
