Frequently Asked Questions
Are Moon Glass Acorn Pendants suitable for a kitchen island?
Yes. These pendants work well over a kitchen island because each fixture uses an E27 bulb under 60W and the frosted glass shade diffuses light to reduce glare while providing broad coverage. The pendants come in two 10-inch-wide sizes and two 6-inch-wide sizes and are rated to illuminate approximately 10 to 15 square meters per pendant, so you can plan a row or cluster to achieve even task lighting. The 78-inch adjustable cord and available canopy options let you position them at ideal heights for food prep or dining. They are best for homeowners seeking a Scandinavian or contemporary look who want functional, ambient task light. Note that the fixture is non-dimmable and hardwired by default, so if you need dimming or a plug-in option you should consult Letifly support for conversion or plan for compatible wiring.
Can I use LED bulbs with these pendants?
Yes. The Moon Glass Acorn Pendants accept E27 base bulbs and support incandescent, CFL, or LED lamps up to 60W equivalent, making LED the recommended choice for efficiency and long life. LED bulbs produce less heat, lowering stress on the painted aluminum and frosted glass components, and typical LED lamps last many thousands of hours compared with incandescent bulbs. The fixture’s CE, RoHS, EMC, and CCC certifications indicate it meets common electrical and material standards, but the pendant itself is specified as non-dimmable, so choose non-dimmable LED bulbs or confirm wiring and driver compatibility before attempting dimming. This makes the pendants ideal for energy-conscious buyers who want low-maintenance, long-lasting illumination.
How do I choose the right size and number of pendants for my room?
A good approach is to match the pendant size and quantity to your surface dimensions and ceiling height. The Moon Glass Acorn Pendants come in two 10-inch widths and two 6-inch widths; for a kitchen island or long dining table consider three pendants spaced evenly, or a cluster of four for a larger living area. Use a rule of thumb where the combined width of pendants equals about one third of the table or island width, hang fixtures roughly 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop with adjustments for higher ceilings, and expect one pendant to effectively light 10 to 15 square meters. These measurable guidelines help homeowners and designers plan placement for both aesthetics and function. Final spacing depends on ceiling height, desired brightness, and whether you plan layered lighting in the room.
Are these pendants safe to install in a bathroom or outdoor space?
No. The Moon Glass Acorn Pendants are not rated for wet or high-humidity environments because they have no waterproof IP rating. Their construction uses painted aluminum, iron, and a frosted glass shade, and while the fixtures carry CE, RoHS, EMC, and CCC certifications for electrical safety, those do not confer moisture protection. These pendants are best installed in dry interior locations such as living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens with proper ventilation, and covered entryways that remain dry. If you need lighting for bathrooms or outdoor areas, choose fixtures specifically rated for damp or wet locations or consult a licensed electrician to identify suitable alternatives.
Can the cord length and canopy be customized to fit different ceiling heights?
Yes. The pendants offer a 78-inch adjustable wire as standard, and Letifly can lengthen or shorten cords and provide different canopy sizes and finishes to suit specific ceiling heights and design preferences. The product description also notes options to convert hardwired fixtures to plug-ins, which can be useful when you cannot access ceiling wiring. For customization contact support@letifly.com to discuss required canopy diameter, finish, and cord length. These customization options benefit homeowners with vaulted ceilings, low ceilings, or unique mounting conditions. Keep in mind that custom work may affect lead time and should be installed or verified by a qualified electrician for safety.
Is professional installation required for Moon Glass Acorn Pendants?
Professional installation is recommended. The pendants are hardwired fixtures designed for 110V AC and require connection to a ceiling junction box; installation includes mounting the canopy, securing the adjustable cord, and making electrical connections. The fixtures are assembled but require wiring work and safe handling of live circuits, so homeowners who are not experienced with electrical installations should hire a licensed electrician. If you prefer to avoid hardwiring, Letifly can convert the fixture to a plug-in option on request. Professional installation ensures compliance with local electrical codes, preserves the fixture’s performance, and reduces risk, which is especially important given the fixture’s glass components and suspension hardware.
How should I clean and maintain the Moon Glass Acorn Pendants?
Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward and best done gently to preserve the painted faux wood finish and frosted glass. Always turn off power at the switch or circuit breaker before cleaning. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for the glass and painted aluminum; avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads that can damage the finish. Remove dust from the canopy and cord periodically and gently wipe the bulb when cool. Inspect mounting hardware and wiring connections during routine maintenance and tighten as needed. These steps help maintain the pendant’s appearance and function for years, but avoid using these fixtures in damp locations since they are not waterproof.
What interior styles do the Moon Glass Acorn Pendants best complement?
They are particularly well suited to minimalist, Scandinavian, and contemporary interiors. The neutral faux wood effect, frosted white glass, and clean acorn silhouette create a simple, naturalist aesthetic that pairs well with modern materials and muted palettes. Available in four distinct base styles and two size families, the pendants can be clustered or used singly to suit living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and nurseries. Homeowners seeking an elegant yet understated fixture that blends with Nordic-inspired or contemporary décor will find these pendants complementary. They are less aligned with highly ornate classical interiors or very industrial schemes, where different finishes and forms may be more appropriate.
How long can I expect these pendants to perform under normal household use?
With appropriate bulbs and care, these pendants can perform reliably for many years. The fixture body is made from painted aluminum and iron with a frosted glass shade, which are durable materials when installed and maintained correctly. The electrical components comply with CE, RoHS, EMC, and CCC standards, indicating adherence to common quality and safety requirements. Much of the useful life depends on the light source you choose: LED bulbs commonly last 15,000 to 50,000 hours, while incandescent and CFL options have shorter lifespans. Regular cleaning, using appropriate bulbs, and ensuring dry indoor installation will maximize longevity. Actual lifespan varies with usage patterns, bulb selection, and environmental conditions.
Can I use a Moon Glass Acorn Pendant over a bedside table instead of a table lamp?
Yes. These pendants work very well as bedside lighting because the frosted glass shade produces soft, diffused light that reduces glare and frees up surface space. The adjustable 78-inch cord lets you position the pendant at an appropriate height above the nightstand, and the E27 bulb compatibility gives you flexibility to choose warm LED bulbs for comfortable ambient or reading light. This setup benefits small bedrooms, nurseries, and anyone preferring a clean, minimalist bedside arrangement. Keep in mind the fixture is non-dimmable, so if variable brightness is important opt for a lower-lumen bulb or choose a fixture or bulb solution that supports dimming through compatible wiring.
