Maintenance Tips
  • Regular dusting: Clean glass shades and metal frame with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain dust-free, even light distribution.
  • Gentle cleaning: Wipe with a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water and mild detergent for fingerprints or light grease; dry immediately.
  • Avoid abrasives: Do not use alcohol, ammonia, or scouring pads as they can damage glass surfaces and metal finishes.
  • Clean when cool: Always switch off the lamp and allow it to fully cool before cleaning to avoid thermal stress on glass.
  • Handle glass carefully: Avoid pressure on mouth-blown glass shades to prevent cracks or misalignment in the layered design.
  • No moisture near fittings: Keep water away from socket, wiring, and suspension components during cleaning.
  • Check suspension: Periodically inspect cable and ceiling canopy for secure mounting, especially in high ceilings.
  • Routine care: Light, regular cleaning preserves the PH system’s glare-free, multi-shade lighting effect.
