Why does the bulb intensity vary? How to adjust the lighting intensity?

Question

Accepted Answer

The variation in intensity you observe mainly depends on the type of bulb used and the presence of a dimmer.

Specifications of the fixture

This Lucide Len pendant accepts a standard E27 bulb (not included) with a maximum power of 60 W. The fixture itself is not equipped with an integrated dimmer.

Why does the intensity vary?

Defective or poor-quality bulb: A worn, defective, or improperly matched bulb may flicker or show variations in lighting. Test with a new certified E27 bulb.
Incompatible dimmer bulb: If you have installed an external dimmer in your electrical setup, you must use a bulb specifically compatible with dimmers. Without this, the intensity may fluctuate or flicker.
Insufficient power: An E27 bulb lower than 40 W minimum may give the impression of varying intensity.

Solutions

Replace the current E27 bulb with a new certified bulb (between 40 and 60 W).
If you are using a dimmer, check that the bulb is marked 'dimmer compatible' or 'dimmable' on the packaging.
Ensure that the dimmer is properly configured and functional (if applicable).
Make sure that the electrical installation is correct and that the fixture is securely mounted (contacts may be loose).

Note: This fixture is designed for dry locations only. If in doubt about the type of bulb to use, consult the packaging of the E27 bulb or your retailer.
