The Louis Poulsen Doo - Wop Pendant Light is a remarkable piece with a rich history. First introduced in the early 1950s, it was initially used as lighting for numerous Naval buildings like canteens and offices. Back then, it was known as the Navy Pendant, and its unique lighting quality made it a top choice for many years. Although it was removed from the Louis Poulsen catalog in the early 1980s, it has now been reborn as the Doo - Wop Pendant. The pendant comes in new colors, but the traditional production methods are still the same. The shades are hand - spun and feature a fine rolled edge, giving each light a distinct optical volume. The polished brass shade is particularly special as it's crafted from a single solid brass plate. A white conical reflector provides a soft downward light. The main shade not only directs the light both upwards and downwards but also spreads it to make the illumination even softer. This pendant is available in a wide range of colors. It is hardwired and uses 1 x 60W E26 Bulb with a 3 - conductor, 18 AWG white PVC power cord. It is cULus Listed, suitable for dry locations, and meets IBEW standards. Measuring 9.7'' H x 11.1'' W x 11.1'' D, with a canopy of 5.3'D X 0.9'H, it is supported by 3 stainless steel aircraft cables and a 5' cord. The materials used include aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and copper. It is covered under our 30 - day return policy.
Using the Louis Poulsen Doo - Wop Pendant is easy. First, make sure you install it in a dry location as it's designed for such areas. Since it's hardwired, it's recommended to have a professional electrician handle the installation to ensure safety. When it comes to bulbs, use a 60W E26 bulb. For regular maintenance, you can gently dust the pendant with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and copper parts as this can damage the finish. If you need to replace the bulb, turn off the power first to prevent any electrical shock. And remember, if you're not satisfied with the product, you can return it within 30 days.
