Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture is dimmable. To ensure smooth performance, please use a compatible dimmer switch that matches your chosen light source, whether you opt for the halogen or integrated LED version.
The Chouchin features an adjustable suspension cable, allowing you to customize the height during the installation process. Once the fixture is hardwired and mounted to the canopy, the height is typically set to your preferred drop length.
The halogen version uses a standard E26 base, allowing you to choose your own bulb up to 60W, while the integrated LED version comes with a high-performance 23W COB module. The LED option provides a consistent 2700K warm white light and is more energy-efficient, but the light source is built into the fixture.
No, the Chouchin is dry-rated and should only be installed in interior spaces away from moisture. It is best suited for dry environments like dining rooms, entryways, or kitchen islands.
To maintain the finish of the lacquered glass, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which could damage the delicate lacquered coating.
The integrated LED version includes the light source. The halogen version requires a separate purchase of a 60W E26 bulb, giving you the flexibility to select a bulb that meets your specific brightness preferences.
