Know before you buy
The lamp features warm dimming LED technology that transitions from a cozy 1800K to a brighter 3000K. This allows you to shift the ambiance from a soft, candle-like glow to a more functional, warm white light.
Yes, the Signal Y is compatible with TRIAC and ELV dimming controls. We recommend confirming your existing wall dimmer type to ensure smooth performance across the full dimming range.
Yes, the Signal Y is designed for hardwired installation. Because it requires a direct electrical connection, we recommend having a licensed electrician handle the mounting to ensure it is safely secured.
The small version measures 17.25 inches in diameter, while the large version is 23 inches. Consider the scale of your room; the large size is generally better suited for dining areas or larger living spaces, while the small size works well in entryways or as a secondary light source.
The brass armature will develop a natural patina over time, which is part of its character. For the glass, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to keep it free of dust and fingerprints.
The integrated LED is rated for 50,000 hours of use. Under typical residential conditions, this translates to many years of service before the light source would need to be addressed.
