FAQs

What type of light bulb should I use?

The Davey Glass School Pendant Light requires an E27 base bulb. For the best aesthetic, we recommend an exposed filament LED bulb. Please check the fixture's label for maximum wattage.

Is the weathered brass finish prone to tarnishing?

The weathered brass finish is designed to have an aged appearance. It is not typically lacquered, allowing it to naturally mature. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain its intended look.

Can I hang multiple pendant lights together?

Yes, this pendant light looks excellent when hung in a series or cluster, especially over a dining table or kitchen island. Ensure adequate spacing for visual balance and light distribution.

How long is the chain?

The chain length is adjustable to suit your ceiling height and desired drop. Specific dimensions can be found in the product's technical specifications sheet.

Is installation difficult?

Standard pendant light installation is required. If you are not comfortable with electrical wiring, we recommend hiring a qualified electrician.

What are the dimensions of the Size 2 shade?

The 'Size 2' designation refers to a specific shade dimension. Please refer to the product's detailed specifications for the exact diameter and height of the glass shade.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power to the circuit is on. Verify the light bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out. Ensure all wiring connections are secure.

Flickering light

Ensure the bulb is securely fitted. If using a dimmer, check its compatibility with the bulb and fixture. Try a different bulb.

Loose ceiling connection

Turn off power at the breaker. Carefully re-secure the ceiling rose to the mounting bracket, ensuring all screws are tightened appropriately.
