FAQ

What type of bulbs do these lamps require?

Most lamps in this range use standard E27 screw-in LED bulbs. However, always check the lamp’s packaging or listing on Amazon for the exact bulb wattage and base type recommended by the manufacturer.

Are the lamps easy to assemble?

Generally, these lamps are designed for straightforward assembly with minimal tools required – often just a screwdriver. Detailed instructions are usually provided within the product packaging.

What’s the typical lifespan of the LED bulbs?

LED bulbs typically last between 25,000 and 40,000 hours under normal use conditions. This means you won't need to replace them frequently – a significant cost saving over traditional incandescent bulbs.

Do these lamps have dimmable options?

Some models within this range include dimmable switches, offering flexibility in adjusting the light intensity to suit your needs. Always check the product listing for specific dimming compatibility.

What materials are the lamps made from?

The lampsets typically feature a combination of metal (often steel or aluminium) and plastic components. The finish is often powder-coated to resist rust and scratches.

Are these lamps suitable for outdoor use?

While some designs may be weather-resistant, most of the lamps in this range are intended for indoor use only. Always check the product specifications for any relevant IP (Ingress Protection) rating before considering outdoor placement.

What is the warranty on these lamps?

The manufacturer’s warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year. Refer to the individual product listing on Amazon for details.

Can I return a lamp if it arrives damaged?

Amazon's standard returns policy applies, allowing you to return undamaged items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or replacement. Inspect your order upon arrival and report any damage immediately.

Are the table lamps adjustable in height?

The height adjustability varies by model; check the product description on Amazon for specific details regarding whether the table lamp's arm can be adjusted.

What size pendant lights are available?

We offer a range of pendant light sizes, typically ranging from 30cm to 60cm in diameter. Check the individual product listings on Amazon for precise dimensions before making your purchase.
