Q: Is the fixture hardwired or plug-in?
A: This version is designed to be hardwired, offering a clean, integrated look.

Maintenance Tips

• Gently clean the brass with a dry microfiber cloth—avoid harsh cleaners

• Periodically check the pivot hardware to maintain smooth disc movement

• Consider warm LED bulbs (2700K–3000K) to preserve the cozy, candlelight-inspired feel

• For maximum effect, install on a dimmer switch to adjust lighting mood throughout the day
