Full details
The Davey Glass School Pendant Light in Anthracite is designed for contemporary spaces, offering a stylish update to a classic schoolhouse design with its on-trend dark glass and brass fittings. Its key benefit is its aesthetic versatility, looking great as a standalone piece or in multiples to create a dramatic effect.

FAQs
What type of light bulb should I use?
It is recommended to use an E27 screw-in LED bulb, preferably a filament style to complement the design. Check the maximum wattage rating for the fixture, typically around 60W, though LED equivalents consume much less power.
Can I install this light myself?
Installation of mains electrical lighting should ideally be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
How do I clean the anthracite glass shade?
Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting. For smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the difference between the brass and weathered brass fittings?
Polished brass offers a bright, shiny finish, while weathered brass provides a more muted, aged look, adding character.
Can I hang multiple pendants together?
Yes, this pendant is designed to look effective when hung as a standalone piece or in a series of multiples. Ensure they are spaced appropriately for your desired effect and to avoid light interference.
Is this light dimmable?
The dimmability depends on the light bulb used and the wall switch. Ensure you use a dimmable E27 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch.
What are the dimensions of the pendant?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information, but 'Size 2' typically refers to a standard medium size for this style of pendant. Refer to the retailer's detailed specification sheet for exact measurements.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the power is on at the mains. Check that the light bulb is correctly screwed in. Verify the bulb is not burnt out and try a new one. Confirm wiring is secure (consult an electrician if unsure).
Flickering light
Check the bulb connection; loose bulbs can cause flickering. Try a different compatible bulb, as the current bulb may be faulty. Ensure the dimmer switch (if used) is compatible with LED filament bulbs.
Glass shade appears loose
Gently check the securing mechanism for the glass shade (often a retaining ring). Ensure it is tightened sufficiently, but do not overtighten to avoid cracking the glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains before commencing. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for attaching the chain, ceiling rose, and fitting the light bulb.
Compatibility: This pendant light is designed to be used with an E27 screw-in light bulb. It is specifically recommended for use with exposed filament, low-wattage LED bulbs (max 60W recommended, check specific bulb wattage limits) to achieve the intended aesthetic and ensure safety. The fixture is designed for standard household mains voltage.
Care: To clean the glass shade, first ensure the light is switched off and completely cool. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the glass finish. For the brass fittings, use a soft cloth to maintain their luster. If using a brass-specific cleaner, test on an inconspicuous area first.
