Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What type of light bulb does this fitting take?
A: This fitting usually includes a standard B22 (Bayonet Cap) lamp holder in the gallery, as this is the most common fitting type. You should use a modern LED bulb up to the maximum recommended wattage (check the packaging for the exact limit, typically up to 60W equivalent).
Q2: Is the "Poly Bowl" glass or plastic?
A: The "Poly Bowl" is made from polycarbonate or polypropylene, which is a durable, shatterproof type of plastic. It is designed to look similar to frosted glass but offers superior resilience, making it a safer option.
Q3: How do I install or change the bulb once the fitting is on the ceiling?
A: The light bowl typically detaches from the ceiling-mounted gallery with a simple twist or screw mechanism. You untwist the bowl to gain access to the light bulb, replace the bulb, and then twist the bowl back onto the gallery to secure it.
