been tested to withstand brightness moisture or raised humidity like condensation
or a light mist but are not supposed to get humid. When a fixture is definitely
listed as "Wet", it indicates that it can withstand heavier
weather which include snow and/or rain, having been exposed to a 'rain
test'.

to Top
- Concentrating on help installing your chandelier (or any sort of light),
we recommend you contact the a licensed contractor or electrician. Please
Note: If the chandelier is heavier than 50 pounds, it should be mounted
more securely to the ceiling or wall. Make sure there is enough room to
do so.
8. Steel vs. Solid Brass - How do you tell the difference?
Back to Top
- Simply place a magnet on the metal portion of a brass lighting fixture.
If it sticks, it’s steel. If it doesn’t, it’s solid
brass, which is generally more costly.
9. How do I clean my fixture? Back
to Top
- Make certain electric current is turned off before cleaning.
- Clean metal components along with a soft cloth, moistened using a mild
liquid soap cleaner. Wipe clean and buff along with a very soft dry wash
cloth. Under no circumstances should any metal polish be used, as its
abrasive nature could damage the protective finish designed into the metal
parts.
- Wood components could very well be polished with a fine furniture polish,
taking care in order to avoid getting the polish around the metal surfaces.
- Never wash glass shades in an automatic dishwasher, line a sink by using
a towel and fill with warm water and a mild fruit juice soap. Wash glass
accompanied by a soft cloth, rinse in addition to wipe dry.
10. What bulb color should I choose?
Back to Top
- Wherever possible, use the same color bulbs in all of the lights in
a room to be sure the tone of the floor surfaces, surfaces, walls, etc.
is a same intensity
