Installation & Setup Tips

Ceiling Height Considerations: The standard 150cm cord suits ceilings 2.4-3m high. For lower or higher ceilings, request custom cord lengths during checkout. For vaulted spaces, consider extending the cord to maintain proportional visual balance.

Bulb Selection: Choose warm-white LED (2700K-3000K) for cozy residential spaces, or opt for vintage Edison-style incandescent bulbs for authentic mid-century ambiance. LED bulbs reduce energy consumption while delivering the same warm glow.

Light Output: The fluted acrylic diffuses approximately 10-15% of direct light for soft, shadow-free illumination. Pair with a bulb rated 40-60W equivalent (LED) for dining areas, or 25-40W equivalent for ambient room lighting.

Installation Note: Wall switch control (not included) requires standard electrical installation by a qualified electrician. Ensure fixture is securely mounted to structural ceiling joists for safety.
