FAQs
What type of bulb does the Parentesi light use?
The Parentesi light typically uses an E27 (standard screw) bulb. Please refer to the product specifications for the maximum wattage and type of bulb recommended for optimal performance and safety.
Can I install this light myself?
Due to the ceiling-to-floor mounting and electrical connections required, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and proper function.
What is the maximum length of the cable?
The steel cable is 4 meters (approximately 13 feet) long, allowing for significant vertical adjustment between floor and ceiling.
Does it come with a bulb?
No, the bulb is not typically included with the Parentesi Pendant Light. You will need to purchase a compatible E27 bulb separately.
How do I change the bulb?
Ensure the light is unplugged and cool. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in the new one. The bulb housing may need to be gently opened or accessed according to the specific model's design.
What finishes are available?
The Parentesi Pendant Light is available in finishes such as black, white, red, and nickel, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your interior.
Can the dimmer be replaced if it fails?
Yes, the integrated dimmer unit is a component that can be replaced. If you suspect it is faulty, please contact customer support or a qualified lighting specialist.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the circuit breaker is engaged. Check if the bulb is correctly installed and functioning. Verify the dimmer is not set to minimum. Consult a qualified electrician if issues persist.
Light slips down the cable
The cable may not be bent enough to create sufficient friction. Gently bend the cable more sharply where the lamp head is positioned to increase resistance and hold the lamp in place.
Dimmer is not working
Check bulb compatibility with the dimmer function. Ensure the bulb is correctly seated. If the dimmer unit itself appears faulty, contact customer support.
Cable is difficult to move
Ensure there are no kinks or obstructions along the cable's path. Sometimes dust or debris can impede movement; a gentle wipe-down of the cable may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Parentesi Pendant Light is designed for a ceiling-to-floor suspension. Ensure you have secure anchor points at both the ceiling and floor levels. The steel cable is fed through a mechanism that allows it to be tensioned and held in place by friction. The lamp head can then be slid vertically along this cable and positioned by bending the cable slightly to create resistance. The dimmer control is located on the cable itself.
Compatibility: This fixture requires a direct power source and should be installed by a qualified electrician. It is compatible with standard household electrical systems. The ceiling-to-floor mounting system is suitable for rooms with standard to high ceiling heights, provided secure mounting points are available.
Care: To clean the fixture, first ensure it is unplugged and cool. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the cable and lamp body. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. For the bulb, refer to the recommended bulb type and wattage (not included) and replace it as needed following safety precautions.
