Product Care Guide
Plaster
Dust with a soft, dry cloth only. Plaster is porous, so avoid all liquid cleaners — they'll stain or mark the surface. Raw plaster fittings can be painted: use a matte emulsion in two thin coats, allowing each to dry fully before powering on. Don't install in bathrooms or other damp areas unless the IP rating allows it.
Brass & metal
Brass develops a natural patina over time, which most people prefer. To keep the current finish, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For a brighter look, use a brass-specific polish sparingly. Never use lemon, vinegar, or abrasive cleaners — these damage lacquered brass irreversibly. Polished chrome and nickel finishes can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth.
Glass
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly to avoid water marks. For stubborn marks, a mild glass cleaner is fine. Always ensure the fitting is switched off and fully cool before cleaning.
Fabric shades
Dust with a soft brush or vacuum on the lowest setting using an upholstery attachment. Avoid wet cleaning — fabric shades can stain, warp, or shrink. Spot-clean small marks only with a barely-damp microfibre cloth.
Ceramic
Glazed ceramic can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Unglazed or matte ceramic should be kept dry and dusted only. Always ensure the fitting is switched off and cool first.
Before you clean
Switch off at the wall and let the fitting cool fully. Never spray cleaner directly onto a fitting — apply to a cloth first. If your fitting has visible wiring, electrical components, or LED drivers exposed, keep moisture well away from these areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an electrician to install the Vela Alabaster Pendant Light?
Yes, as this is a hardwired Class I pendant light, installation must comply with UK Building Regulations Part P. Unless you are a qualified electrician or competent person, you'll need a registered electrician to connect it safely to your mains circuit and issue the necessary certification. The fitting includes 1.8 metres of cable and mounts to a standard BESA box or ceiling rose.
Is the Vela pendant light dimmable, and what type of bulb does it need?
Yes, the Vela is dimmable when fitted with a dimmable E27 ES (Edison Screw) bulb and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. You'll need to purchase the bulb separately, as it's not included. For best results with alabaster's warm, diffused glow, choose a warm white LED (2700K) with your preferred brightness—typically 400-800 lumens depending on the room size.
What are the dimensions of this alabaster pendant, and how low will it hang?
The shade measures 170mm in diameter and 210mm in height, making it a compact, elegant pendant suitable for spaces with standard or lower ceilings. With the included 1.8-metre cable, the ideal hanging height is between 1.8 and 2.1 metres from the floor, which works perfectly above dining tables or kitchen islands where you want focused ambient light without obstructing sightlines.
Can I use this pendant light in a bathroom?
No, the Vela has an IP20 rating, which means it's not protected against moisture and is only suitable for dry indoor environments. For bathrooms, you'll need a pendant with a minimum IP44 rating, depending on the zone. This fitting is ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and kitchens away from direct water sources.
Is each alabaster shade unique, and will the veining vary?
Yes, natural alabaster features unique cream tones and delicate copper veining that vary from piece to piece, meaning no two shades are identical. This organic variation is part of the material's beauty and creates a subtly different pattern of light and shadow in each pendant. The stone's translucency produces a warm, diffused glow that highlights these natural characteristics.
What warranty is included with the Vela Alabaster Pendant Light?
This pendant light comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty applies to the brass metalwork, alabaster shade, and electrical components, but does not cover bulbs or damage from improper installation. Ensure your electrician installs the fitting according to UK wiring regulations to maintain warranty coverage.
