FAQs
What is the difference between bamboo and rattan as used for making lamps and lighting?
The main difference between bamboo and rattan lies in their flexibility. Since bamboo stems are hollow from the inside, it is an inflexible material that can be neither bent nor woven. In sharp contrast, rattan is immensely flexible and can be easily curved, bent and given all kinds of detailed shapes and intricate eye-catching patterns.

How does one hang a pendant light from the ceiling?
To hang your rattan pendant light from the ceiling, follow these simple steps –
1. SHUT DOWN POWER – The most crucial first step is to switch off the power of the area or room where you are going to hang the pendant light by turning off the circuit breaker in the electrical panel installed in your home.
2. UNINSTALL THE PREVIOUS FIXTURE – If you already have a light fixture installed, this is the time to remove it. Use a ladder to reach up and safely remove the light bulb (if applicable). Now use a screwdriver to unscrew the fixture’s collar from the ceiling cover and disconnect the wires that were connecting the fixture to the wiring at the ceiling (electrical box). Once this is done, move on to removing the mounting bracket that was holding the old fixture in its place.
3. PREPARE YOUR NEW PENDANT LAMP – Check to see if your pendant light is pre-assembled. If not, this is the time to assemble it using the assembly instructions provided by the manufacturer, one step at a time. Start by putting together all the pieces such as the mounting bracket, fixture collar, hanging cord or chain, globe and the wiring. At this point, ensure that the wiring goes through the cord so that it is safely concealed by the collar.
4. CONNECT THE NEW FIXTURE – Using the screws provided with the new fixture, attach the mounting bracket to the electrical box and ensure that the wires from the electrical box are visible. Now connect the like wires from the ceiling to the wires on your fixture – red to red, black to black, and white to white. Use the three colored connectors to cover the exposed parts of the three pairs of connecting wires. Place the wires inside carefully and fix the pendant’s collar to the top of the ceiling cover.
5. ADJUST THE PENDANT’S HEIGHT – Now it’s time to ensure that the height of your new bamboo pendant lamp is just right to get the best lighting experience without compromising on movement. On average, a pendant light should be hung at least 30 – 40” above a workspace. If you feel the pendant is hanging too low, pull the cords at the mounting bracket and remember to conceal it inside.
6. ATTACH THE LIGHT BULB & TURN BACK POWER – Place the right light bulb into the socket and ensure that your pendant is hanging securely. Resume power by turning on the circuit breaker.
Congratulations, you have just installed your brand-new bamboo rattan pendant light!
How does one swap out a pendant light?
To swap out a bamboo pendant light, follow these steps –
- Switch off the electricity by turning down the circuit breaker.
- Use a screwdriver to unscrew the cap of the old pendant and disconnect the wires.
- Remove the old pendant.
- Measure the desired length of the new pendant and cut the cord accordingly.
- Attach the fixture to the ceiling using the screws and connect the three sets of same-colored wires from the ceiling to the pendant – red to red, black to black, and white to white.
- Cover the exposed parts using colored connectors and carefully place them inside.
- Tighten the cap in place.
How high should pendant lights be hung?
Pendant lights should be hung in such a way that they provide ample lighting without getting in the way of movement, especially if you have tall family members.
When hanging pendant lamps above your kitchen counters, remember to measure from the counter upwards, reaching up to the pendant’s bottom rim to determine the best height of your pendant lights. On average, a pendant should be hung at least 30 inches above the counter and 60 inches above the floor.
What kind of bulbs is suitable for lamps - LED, incandescent, halogen or CFL? What are the pros & cons of each type?
There are four varieties of bulbs that you can use with bamboo and rattan lamps.
LED: They offer a good output with low wattage, making them the most power-efficient lighting option and a good investment. LED bulbs can last for up to 15-20 years.
INCANDESCENT BULBS: They are mercury-free and last for a year. Incandescent bulbs contain a filament that, once heated, produces a glow. The brightness can be reduced using a dimmer.
HALOGEN BULBS: Although the mechanism of halogen bulbs is similar to incandescent bulbs, they are more energy-efficient. They usually last for a year.
CFLs: CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Light. It is a great alternative to incandescent bulbs as it is more energy-efficient even though it produces the same output of light.
