Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture is hardwired and should be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure it is safely connected to your home's electrical system.
The pendant arrives flat-packed with all necessary components and instructions. While it requires some time and patience to assemble the bamboo pieces, the process is straightforward and designed to be manageable for most homeowners.
The Hinaki 500 and 920 models require standard E26 bulbs, which are not typically included. The Hinaki 1400 model features an integrated 15-watt LED system, so no additional bulb is required for that specific size.
The pendant comes with a 6-foot cord, which provides flexibility for various ceiling heights. If you have exceptionally high ceilings, you may need to consult with an electrician regarding the cord length before installation.
To keep the bamboo looking its best, gently dust the fixture with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or water, as these can damage the natural finish of the wood.
The Hinaki 500 is best suited for smaller areas or as a clustered installation, while the 920 and 1400 models are designed to be statement pieces in larger rooms or over dining tables. Consider the scale of your furniture and ceiling height to ensure the fixture proportions feel balanced.
