Does your lighting take LED bulbs?
With a few exceptions, the majority of our lights are suitable for LED bulbs. You can find the bulb information listed on each product.

How do I clean my product?
For lighting products, we recommend that our products are cleaned with a soft dry cloth and abrasive materials/chemicals are never used as they may damage your product and you don’t want that! Whenever cleaning your products remember to be gentle for the same reason.
Most importantly, always switch off the power supply before cleaning. Wait until the bulb has cooled before handling.
