FINISHES
Many of the finishes used on these ranges are hand applied (patinated) and some variations and irregularities in the finish are to be expected. This is part
of the process of manufacture and, far from being a problem, it is an important part of the nature of hand made and hand finished items.
LAMP-HOLDER TYPES
Most fittings are constructed with either E14 lamp-holders (Small Edison Screw, sometimes referred to as SES) or with E27 lamp-holders (Edison Screw),
sometimes referred to as ES. Appropriate E14 and E27 lamps are widely available in a range of styles, wattages and lights sources including incandescent,
compact fluorescent and LED. Some of these lamp-holders are now supplied with threaded skirts, together with candle tubes and shade rings. This means
that these products can be used either as a fitting with candle tubes and candle lamps, or with glass using the shade ring. Additionally we make certain
fittings which use G9 and GX53 lamps. Lamps are usually supplied with these fittings.
LAMPS
Unless otherwise stated lamps are not included with any fittings constructed using E14 or E27 lamp-holders. However, in cases of G9, GU10 and GX53
lamp-holder types, these fitting come supplied with LED lamps as standard.
LED COMPATIBILITY
Where conventional E14 or E27 lamp-holders are used, all of these fittings are compatible to the use of an LED lamp option. See our options on Pages
676 – 677 or choose alternatives available in the market. We recommend to check the lamp dimensions first to ensure the size is suitable.
STATED MAXIMUM WATTAGES
Most fittings shown in the catalogue are shown with Maximum Wattage recommendations. These recommendations are calculated mainly by heat
capability, as there is a correlation between heat and wattage. However, in many countries traditional incandescent lamps and also some Halogen
replacement lamps, such as 100W GLS are no longer available. There are now many new versions of LED lamps in the market, featuring a lower wattage
but similar or better Lumen output performance compared to originals. See Pages 676 – 677 for our options. For most of the fittings featured in this
catalogue, wattage capacity and certification has been based on the criteria using an original Incandescent lamp and so when choosing lamps, please take
care to ensure that wattages specified are of no more than the equivalent original incandescent lamps. In the case of LED, the wattages are far lower, but
some of these can still run very hot, not dissimilar to incandescent of much higher power.
VOLTAGES & HERTZ
All fittings shown in this catalogue are suitable for 220V- 240V power supply unless stated. These fittings are designed for use with 50Hz frequency
although standard mains voltage fittings can also be used in 60Hz locations. However, some ranges are dedicated LED or Low Voltage, 12V to 24V, and
these should be checked for local suitability if planned to be used with 60Hz frequency power supply.
LUMENS QUOTED
Lumens is a term used for the measurement of light output. All Lumens quoted in relation to light fittings, wall lights and ceiling lights are those either
provided by the original manufacturers or are Lumens of the light source / lamp.
OPTIONAL FITTING GLASS & CLIP SHADES
Many of the ranges shown in this catalogue are featured with “optional glass” or ‘’optional shades”. Where this is referred to, and glass or shades are
preferred, please order the glass or shade reference and quantity separately. See our Visual Index page 47. for options.
FLUSH CONVERT/DUAL MOUNT
Many of the interior ranges have also been constructed with the ability for the fitting to be easily modified from being a chain fitting into a semi-flush
fitting. Note that once converted to semi-flush it is not then possible to easily convert back to a chain fitting, as some re-wiring is likely to be required.
CUSTOMISATION
Some of our ranges supplied in matt black can be relatively easily patinated into finishes such as Black/Gold, Black/Copper etc. Equally, for chain
suspended fittings that need extra chain and cable, these can also be relatively easily undertaken. Both such modifications may incur longer lead times and
will have small additional costs added to the price. (See current Elstead Terms and Conditions.) Beyond this, with appropriate lead time and client budget,
more specialised changes can be undertaken such as different colours completely, changes to dimensions and design modifications and even fully bespoke
fittings can be considered due to our varied manufacturing resources available.
PRODUCT WARRANTIES/GUARANTEES
All fittings supplied from this catalogue have a manufacturer’s warranty of 2 years. This means that in normal and fair service, (and without incorrect or
inappropriate installation, location or treatment), any product sold by Elstead Lighting or its partners should have no fault develop within a minimum
of 2 years from purchase. Any fault that is found is covered by guarantee to be repaired or replaced at the manufacturers cost, within this period. This
warranty does not cover out of pocket expenses or consequential costs.
