FAQ

Bulb questions

Are bulbs included?

It depends on the light. Each product's specs say "Bulb included" or "not included". Lights with built-in LED need no bulb at all.

Can I use a smart bulb?

Yes, in any light with a standard screw base (E26/E27 or E14), as long as the bulb fits inside the shade. Pick a dimmable smart bulb if the light is on a dimmer.

How many watts can I use?

Stay under the max wattage in the specs. With LED that's easy: an LED of about 8–10 W gives the light of an old 60 W bulb.

Can I change the color of a built-in LED?

No, it is set at the factory. Some lights offer a Warm / Cold option on the product page, so choose it before you order.
