Know before you buy
The spun fiberglass construction acts as a diffuser, creating a soft, warm, and ambient glow. It is designed to minimize harsh glare, making it ideal for creating a relaxing atmosphere in living areas or bedrooms.
No, this specific model is not dimmable. It is designed to provide a consistent, ambient light output.
The Mayuhana 2 is dry-rated, meaning it is intended for indoor use in moisture-free environments. It is best suited for living rooms, dining areas, or hallways rather than bathrooms or areas prone to humidity.
The fixture uses an E26 base and comes with a 20W bulb included. You can use either a CFL or an LED bulb, provided it does not exceed the 20W maximum wattage.
Because of the delicate nature of the fiberglass threads, we recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle duster to remove surface dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials that could snag or damage the spun texture.
Yes, the Mayuhana 2 is designed for hardwired installation. We recommend having a licensed electrician install the fixture to ensure it is properly mounted and connected to your home's electrical system.
