FAQs
What type of light bulb does this lamp use?
The Original BTC Hector 30 Table Lamp typically uses an E27 screw cap bulb. Please refer to the product's specific packaging or manual for recommended wattage and type to ensure optimal performance and safety.
How do I adjust the lampshade?
The lampshade is designed to be manually adjusted. Gently move the shade to your desired angle. It is usually held in place by friction or a simple locking mechanism at the joint.
Is the satin brass finish prone to tarnishing?
Satin brass can develop a patina over time, which is a natural characteristic of the material. To maintain its original luster, regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional use of a brass-specific cleaner are recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I use this lamp outdoors?
No, this lamp is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor elements.
What is the length of the braided cable?
Please refer to the product specifications sheet or packaging for the exact cable length. Generally, lighting from Original BTC includes a generous cable length for flexible placement.
What does 'hand-crafted in the UK' signify for this product?
It signifies that the lamp is made with attention to detail by skilled artisans in a dedicated workshop in Stoke-on-Trent, UK, ensuring high standards of quality and traditional craftsmanship.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Check that the lamp is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the light bulb is correctly installed and functional. Verify the retro switch is in the 'on' position.
Flickering light
This could indicate a loose bulb or an issue with the bulb itself. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new, compatible one. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
Shade is loose or wobbly
Gently check any visible screws or adjustment points connecting the shade to the lamp arm. Do not overtighten. If the issue persists, consult the product manual or contact support.
