Lighting Fixtures & Lamps Questions Answered

I purchased 2 Access Lighting Onda ADA Contemporary Vanity Bathroom Light - AC-62069. The units hold 5 halogen bulbs: G8.0 120v 50w. The problem I am having is I can not find replacement bulbs which will fit in the bathroom lighting fixtures. All replacement bulbs I have located are longer than the original bulbs and will not fit inside the glass protection covers. The original bulbs are 1-1/2″ long, and replacement bulbs are 1-7/8 to over 2″ long; the protection covers are the same length as the old bulbs (1-1/2″).

Please advise me on where I can purchase bulbs that fit or if I can purchase longer protection covers for longer bulbs.

Answer: We called Access Lighting, the manufacturer of AC-62069 - bathroom light and they advised that the bulbs should be available locally. We explained the problem that you are running to and they advised that the bulbs can be ordered from them. So, we can sell the bulbs to you. The model number of the bulb is G8-50W and the cost is $4.00/each plus $10.00 for shipping and handling. We can have the bulbs shipped out to you as soon as tomorrow if you decide you would like to purchase them. To place the order, you can call our toll free 888-918-8030 number.

Hello Arcadian Lighting, I am interested in Quoizel Lighting Paloma Traditional Floor Lamp - QZ-PLDS9360MT and would like to know prior to ordering if you have it in stock.
(I would be having it shipped to a WA address.)

Answer: This floor lamp is confirmed to be in stock with Quoizel Lighting, the manufacturer. Item would ship directly from the manufacturer which is located in South Carolina in about 1-3 business days from the date of order.

The info on your website has an indication that Concord Fans 30” Tempest Traditional Ceiling Fan - CC-30TP6 is shown in “Swiss Coffee”, but I can tell it is actually shown in aged pecan. Also, the options for ordering a particular finish do not offer Aged Bronze, which is what I want. Assuming the finish options are listed in the order shown in the pictures, the Swiss Coffee finish option should actually be aged bronze. Please confirm whether I will receive an aged bronze ceiling fan if I order the “swiss coffee” finish option.

Answer: To confirm the information, we called Concord Fans - the manufacturer directly. We found out that the Aged Bronze finish is actually no longer offered which is why you can no locate it in the drop down menu. We also learned the swiss coffee is not close in color to Aged Bronze. If you like the dark finish of Aged Bronze, then the Aged Pecan would be the closest counterpart.

We were also informed that this fan model will be discontinued after all of the remaining stock is sold. The turnaround time for shipping is 2-3 days for shipping from the date of purchase.

Can I use an X-10 lamp module to control a track lighting with multiple (say 4) Nora Lighting Barndoor Low Voltage Track Light - NTL-208 heads? The X-10 lamp modules provide solid-state dimming and on/off. I’ve used one successfully with another 12V transformer and light system, but it’s time to replace it all with barn door lights.

Answer: Nora Lighting has confirmed back that there is an electronic, low voltage transformer in the NTL-208. The NTL-208 is rated to a max. of 50W Halogen, so it will work with a electronic, low voltage dimmer.

We are not familiar with the X-10 lamp module. We would recommend that you verify with the manufacturer for the X-10 lamp module and see if they can work with the electronic, low voltage transformer from the NTL-208.

I have a 6′ sola rail halogen track lighting system with 5 lamps in my bathroom above the vanity. The product stated not to install in a bathroom but the bathroom is fairly large so we decided to try it. However, 1 year later the lights have gone out and it is not working. I am assuming it is due to humidity affecting the transformer. I like the look of the track and would like to replace it with something similar. What options do you recommend for installing in the bathroom?

Answer: We are not very familiar with the Sola brand. However, a couple of manufacturer’s that we carry called Tech Lighting and LBL Lighting have track systems. They advise that their tracks can be used in a bathroom so long as there is good ventilation and the lighting is not placed directly over humid areas (i.e a shower ceiling).

I am wondering if the metal on the pendant lights can be cut to any length you might need. Most of them would be too long as described for our situation. I am interested in Imperial Traditional Mini Pendant Light - QZ-IM1506HL and Genova Traditional Mini Pendant Light - QZ-GE1507SE. Do they have black in them? And can you describe their color?

Answer: The height of model qz-im1506hl - pendant light (54″) and qz-ge1507se - pendant light (52″), include (3) 12″ rods. The finish on Imperial pendant light is called heirloom with Mottled cream glass. Genova pendant light is a Stonehedge finish with Twisted amber scavo glass. Both pendant lights are from Quoizel Lighting.

Is this light Meyda Tiffany Van Erp Amber Mica Semi Flush Mount Ceiling Light - MD-27434 a flush mount or a semi-flush mount? The description says flush mount but the picture looks like a semi-flush mount. Is the base brass colored as it appears in the picture or is it antique bronze like the trim on the shade?

Answer: We do agree with you that this item is not completely flushed. However, per Meyda’s catalog, they call this flushmount ceiling light. As for the canopy, it is also in the Mahogany Bronze finish like the shade trim. We were told by Meyda Tiffany that the digital image turned out a bit lighter because of the reflection from the lamping.
