FAQs
What is the maximum height the lamp can be adjusted?
The lamp can be positioned anywhere along the full 4-meter length of the steel cable, from ceiling to floor.
Does the Parentesi light require professional installation?
While the basic setup can be managed, securing the ceiling and floor anchors requires a good understanding of structural integrity. For safety and optimal performance, professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
What type of light bulb does it use?
The Parentesi pendant light typically uses an E27 (ES) bulb, but please refer to the product's specific technical specifications for exact bulb type and maximum wattage recommendations.
Can the cable be shortened?
The steel cable is designed to be 4 meters long. While it can be secured at various points, it is not designed to be cut. Excess cable length might need to be managed at the anchor points.
How do I clean the nickel finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or discolor the finish.
Is the spotlight an optional extra?
The description mentions an 'additional spotlight for precise light orientation,' suggesting it might be an optional component or a specific variant.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not stay in place
Ensure the steel cable is bent sufficiently to create friction. Check that the cable is not excessively worn or damaged. Re-evaluate the angle of the bend for optimal holding power.
Light does not turn on
Verify that the fixture is properly connected to the power source. Check the light bulb for proper seating and ensure it is functional. Test the integrated switch for correct operation.
Difficulty sliding lamp body along the cable
Ensure there are no obstructions or kinks in the steel cable. Gently clean the cable surface if it appears dirty or sticky.

- Lamp Positioning: Slide the lamp body onto the cable. To adjust the height, gently bend the cable to create friction, then slide the lamp to the desired position. The friction should hold it in place.

Care:

- Cable Maintenance: Periodically check the steel cable for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the friction mechanism continues to hold the lamp securely at different heights.
