The lamp has a maximum reach of 23.6 inches from the wall bracket. You should ensure your mounting surface has enough clearance to accommodate this extension without obstructing walkways or furniture.
The included 13W compact fluorescent bulb is not dimmable. If you require dimming functionality, you will need to replace the bulb with a compatible dimmable LED bulb that fits the E26 medium base.
Yes, you can replace the included bulb with an LED equivalent. Just ensure the LED bulb has an E26 medium base and fits within the dimensions of the 5.9-inch shade.
No, this fixture is dry-rated only. It should not be installed in bathrooms or any areas prone to moisture or high humidity.
