FAQs

What size bulb does the Titan Pendant Light - Size 5 use?

The Titan Pendant Light - Size 5 uses an E27 screw cap bulb. Please refer to the product specifications for the maximum recommended wattage.

Can I use an LED bulb with this pendant light?

Yes, LED bulbs are generally compatible, provided they have an E27 base and do not exceed the fixture's maximum wattage rating. Dimmable LED bulbs can be used with compatible dimmer switches.

How do I choose between the different colour options?

Consider your existing décor and the desired mood. Bold colours like red or yellow can be accent pieces, while black, white, or grey offer a more neutral industrial look. The interior colour choice also affects the light's diffusion and overall ambiance.

What is the purpose of the etched glass visor?

The optional etched glass visor is designed to reduce glare from the bulb and diffuse the light, creating a softer, more comfortable illumination. It's useful in areas where direct light might be harsh.

Is the steel braided cable adjustable in length?

The pendant is supplied with a steel braided cable. While the cable length is fixed at the time of manufacture, professional electricians can often adjust the hanging height by modifying the ceiling canopy wiring.

What are the dimensions of the Size 5 pendant?

The specific dimensions for the Size 5 pendant (diameter, height) should be checked against the product's technical specification sheet, as exact measurements vary.

Does this pendant light come with a bulb?

Typically, pendant lights like the Titan are sold separately from bulbs. Please check the product listing or packaging to confirm if a bulb is included.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is on. Check that the bulb is correctly screwed in. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Test the bulb in another fixture to confirm it is working.

Flickering light

Check the bulb's connection. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with the bulb type or try a different bulb. Loose wiring can also cause flickering; consult an electrician if suspected.

Light output is too low

Verify the wattage of the installed bulb does not exceed the fixture's maximum recommended wattage. Consider using a brighter bulb or removing the etched glass visor if glare is not a concern.

Discolouration on the shade

This may be due to prolonged exposure to heat or certain cleaning agents. Dust regularly with a dry cloth. If discolouration persists, consult the manufacturer for recommended cleaning procedures for specific finishes.
