FAQs

  • How do I order a light in a different finish?

    Use the drop down list on the product page to select your desired finish. If we have a photograph of the product in the finish you have selected this will display.  If we do not, the finish, size and colour will show in the basket and at checkout.

  • What type of light bulb do I need, and will it be included with the delivery?

    There is a recommended bulb listed in the product information, or alternatively the Download Tearsheet tab on the product page will tell you which bulb is best for the specific product you have chosen. Light bulbs are not included unless specified.

  • Where can I find technical information about the light I’ve purchased?

    On the product page you will see a Download Tearsheet button. If you click on this you can download it to your local computer.

  • Can I order a longer chain that the one supplied?

    Yes. If you require a different drop or size of chain please specify this on your order, otherwise the standard 0.5m chain will be supplied. Please be advised that additional lengths may incur extra charges.

  • Can I see the light before I place my order?

    Yes. If there is a light you wish to view, please visit our London Showroom or if you are in the USA, one of our agent's showrooms.

  • Do the lights come with all the fittings and screws?

    Yes, all fittings are included and are shown in the What's In The Box section. We recommend you always use the fittings supplied and use a qualified electrician for installation.

  • How can I see a sample of the different finishes?

    You can see the different finishes on the product pages, or you can visit our Showroom to view them in person.

  • Do I need a qualified electrician to install my lights?

    This will depend on the lights you have ordered but we recommend you use a qualified electrician. Some of the larger lights may require specialist installation and we recommend that you speak with our sales team about this for further advice.

  • What kind of dimmer system will work for my light fixture?

    Phase control dimmers work by chopping out parts of the voltage and reducing power to the light source. The two types of phase control dimmer available are ‘trailing-edge’ and ‘leading-edge’. These two different types work in different ways. Because they work differently, this ultimately affects their compatibility with certain light forms:

    1. Leading-edge: inductive loads (e.g. magnetic low voltage transformers), resistive loads (e.g. incandescent). 
    2. Trailing-edge: capacitive loads (e.g. electronic low voltage transformers, LED drivers), resistive loads (e.g. incandescent).

    For further information please see our Technical Guide on phase control dimmers.  We strongly advise you discuss dimmers and their compatibility with the fittings you have selected with your installer before you purchase either the lights or the dimmers.

    There is an additional charge for deliveries to GBR Islands. 

  • How long will delivery take?

    UK to UK deliveries will generally be made between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays). As the majority of our lights are made to order, we aim to deliver UK orders within 4-6 weeks from receipt of your payment.

  • How can I change a delivery address if I won’t be home on the day?

    Please contact our sales office for further information. Unfortunately if your order has already been despatched we are unable to change your delivery details.
