FAQs
What type of bulb does the Hector Bibendum pendant light use?
It uses an E27 (ES) screw-in bulb. Please refer to the product specifications for maximum wattage and recommended bulb dimensions.
Is the cable length adjustable?
Yes, the cotton braided cable is adjustable, allowing you to set the desired hanging height for the pendant light.
Can I use any color bulb?
The fixture itself does not dictate bulb color. You can use bulbs that emit different color temperatures (warm white, cool white) or smart bulbs that allow color changes, provided they are compatible with the E27 fitting and within the maximum wattage limits.
How do I clean the bone china shade?
Gently wipe the shade with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Does the pendant light come with a bulb?
Typically, bulbs are sold separately. Please check the product listing or packaging for confirmation.
What are the dimensions of the pendant light?
The product information indicates it is available in three sizes. Specific dimensions for each size, including shade diameter and cable length, should be found in the detailed product specifications.
Is this light dimmable?
Yes, the Hector Bibendum pendant light is designed to be dimmable, provided you use a compatible dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Verify that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and functional. Check all wiring connections are secure.
Flickering light.
This could be due to a loose bulb connection or a failing bulb. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new, compatible one. If the issue persists, check wiring connections.
Shade appears unevenly lit.
Ensure the bulb is centered within the shade and that the bulb's wattage does not exceed the recommended maximum. An incorrectly shaped or sized bulb can cause uneven light distribution.
Cable adjustment is stiff.
Gently work the cable mechanism back and forth. If it remains stiff, consult the installation manual or a professional electrician.
