FAQs

What is the maximum suspension length?

The Parentesi pendant light features a 4-meter long steel cable, allowing for suspension across this distance.

How is the light positioned vertically?

The light is positioned by sliding its body along the steel cable. Friction created by bending the cable at the desired point holds the light in place without the need for screws.

Can this light be used for general room illumination?

While it provides direct light, its primary function is for targeted illumination. For general room lighting, additional fixtures might be needed.

What type of bulb does it use?

This model is designed for specific bulb types suitable for its socket and wattage. Please refer to the product manual or manufacturer's specifications for exact bulb requirements.

Is the dimmer switch included?

Yes, the Parentesi pendant light includes an integrated dimmer unit on the cable for personalized illumination control.

What colors are available for the Parentesi pendant light?

The Parentesi pendant light is available in red, white, black, and nickel finishes. This guide specifically covers the Dimmable Red variant.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the dimmer switch to confirm it is not set to the off or lowest setting.

Light slips down the cable.

The cable may need to be re-bent slightly to increase friction. Ensure the cable is taut between the anchor points. Clean any dust or debris from the cable where the lamp attaches.

Dimmer is not functioning correctly.

Check the connection of the dimmer unit on the cable. Ensure the light bulb is compatible with dimming functions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure a secure ceiling and floor anchor point are available.
  2. Thread the steel cable from the ceiling mount to the floor anchor, ensuring it is taut but allowing for adjustment.
  3. Connect the light source to the desired height along the cable. The friction created by the bent cable will hold it in place.
  4. Plug the fixture into a power outlet.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a suitable ceiling-to-floor installation space of up to 4 meters.
  • Compatible with standard electrical outlets.

Care:

  • Wipe the steel cable and lamp body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check the friction point on the cable to ensure it maintains its holding position. If slippage occurs, gently readjust the bend in the cable.
