Product Information
Full details
The Flos Parentesi Pendant Light in Red is designed for modern living spaces, offering adjustable direct illumination with a unique, elemental ceiling-to-floor suspension. Its key benefit is the flexible light positioning achieved by friction on a steel cable, eliminating the need for screws. A potential caveat is that the switched version does not offer dimming capabilities, unlike its sibling models.

FAQs
What is the maximum suspension length?
The Parentesi pendant light features a 4-meter (approx. 13 feet) steel cable, allowing for installation in rooms with varying ceiling heights.
Can I dim the light with this switched version?
No, the 'switched' version of the Parentesi pendant light does not support dimming. For dimming capabilities, please refer to the dimmable variants.
How do I adjust the position of the light?
You can adjust the light by gently bending the steel cable where it meets the lamp body. This creates friction, allowing you to slide and fix the lamp at any desired height along the cable.
What type of light bulb does it use?
The Parentesi pendant light typically uses an E27 screw bulb. Please consult the product's technical specifications for the maximum wattage and type.
Does the red finish fade over time?
With proper care and avoiding direct, prolonged sunlight, the red finish is designed to be durable. Gentle dusting with a dry cloth is recommended.
Can this be installed on a sloped ceiling?
The Parentesi is designed for direct ceiling-to-floor suspension. Installation on sloped ceilings may require specialized mounting solutions not included with the standard fixture.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the fixture is securely plugged into the power source and that the wall switch (if applicable) is on. Verify the light bulb is correctly installed and functional.
Lamp slips down the cable
Ensure the steel cable is properly tensioned and bent at the desired point. The friction mechanism requires a sufficient bend in the cable to hold its position. Re-adjust the cable bend if necessary.
Cable seems too long or too short
The Parentesi is designed with a 4m cable to accommodate various room heights. Ensure you have correctly routed and secured the cable according to the installation guide. This model is not designed for cable shortening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Parentesi pendant light is designed for ceiling-to-floor installation. It requires secure anchor points at both the ceiling and the floor. The 4-meter steel cable allows for flexibility in placement across a range of room heights. Ensure the cable is properly tensioned and secured to create the friction needed for positioning.
Compatibility: This fixture is compatible with standard electrical outlets. It uses a specific bulb type (refer to product specifications for exact details, typically E27 socket). Ensure your ceiling and floor can support the mounting hardware.
Care: To clean the Parentesi pendant light, first disconnect the power supply. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the cable and lamp body. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish. For the red finish, gentle dusting is recommended to maintain its vibrancy.
