UL APPROVED

Yes! All of our hardwired fixtures are UL listed, labeled, and ready for safe residential and commercial installation.

UL stands for Underwriters' Laboratories. It is a nationally recognized, nonprofit safety-testing agency for the US. 

Our fixtures are tested as a complete unit, and sport the UL label. A few of our fixtures offer retro options like twisted lamp cord, and so are not UL-approved.

The National Electrical Code, as well as laws in the majority of states, requires that fixtures be tested by a an independent safety-testing agency before they can be legally sold and installed. Many Electricians will refuse to install non-UL fixtures.

No - However, some local codes do vary (and change), so check with your electrician.

Bulbs

Some of our fixtures may include bulbs and some may have an option to purchase bulbs, but most of our fixtures do not include bulbs. Please check the description of the fixture for this information.

Yes. All the bulbs we sell or include with our fixtures are dimmable.  

The majority of our fixtures use standard Medium base bulbs. Size E26 (110V), E27 (240V)


A handful of our fixtures use a candelabra base. Size E12 (110v)


Please check your listing description for the base size and recommended bulb.

One likely cause is that the base of the bulb is not quite reaching the connection inside the bottom of the socket. The bulb must be screwed in tight enough to be touching the tab at the bottom on the socket. To fix this TURN THE POWER OFF, then simply pull this tab up a little bit and try screwing in the bulb as tight as possible. If this doesn’t work please contact us at support@pearedcreation.com

Absolutely. These high efficiency bulbs last longer, conserve energy, and can save you money.

When looking for LED replacement bulbs make sure they are dimmable if you intend to use them on a dimmer switch!

Finish

If you have an unfinished brass item, there are a number of commercial products you can use - we recommend Bar Keepers Friend
