Lighting Fixtures & Lamps Questions Answered

I am looking at this Craftmade Outdoor Pad Mount Lamp Post - CM-Z8403 and I would like to know more about it. Is it electrical and not solar? Can it be placed outside all of the time - not on a porch or patio room? Is there a timer in it for turning it On and Off? Also, it says on your website that shipping is for free for this item, is this correct? Lastly, are all parts of the lamp included - lamp post, globes etc? Thanks for any additional information.

Answer: This outdoor lamp post (model CM-Z8403) from Craftmade is electrical and can be installed outside all the time. Unfortunately, there is no timer feature on this outdoor lighting fixture. All three frost shades, arms, post, and pad mount are included along with free shipping to continental US.

I currently am looking for the other components to finish this installation. I currently have 7 of these Nora Lighting 4” Low-Voltage IC Airtight Recessed Lighting Housing - NLIC-401QSAT that I received from a friend who had no use for them after his home was built. But, now I need trim kits and whatever else is required to install these recessed lighting fixtures. Can you point me in the right direction?

Answer: Please see the link below for compatible Nora lighting trims. If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

I like the Elk Lighting Refraction Contemporary Chandelier - ELK-1476-6-3 but have an angled cathedral ceiling. The light would have to mount on the angle plane of the ceiling. Is it available with a hang chain rather than the supplied pole mount? Does the pole mount swivel (mentioned in the discription) allow the chandelier to mount on an angled surface or only a flat surface. Please advise.

Answer: This chandelier from Elk Lighting does come with a swivel and therefore can be hung from a sloped ceiling, as long as it’s no more than 12 degrees. As well, you may hang this fixture from a chain, as opposed to the pole. However, we would need to ask Elk for a quote. Please advise if you wish to proceed.

I am looking for a lighting fixture that can match wrought iron products that I already have in place. I like the Uttermost Legato Traditional Chandelier - UM-21080 in Chestnut finish. Can you describe Chestnut finish and will it clash with the other wrought iron fixtures that I have?

Answer: The chestnut finish for this chandelier from Uttermost is a rich dark brown finish, almost chocolate in color. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee the finish will match another manufacturers finish. It is recommended, that if you want the exact finish, that you order an item from the same manufacturer.

Is the splat base available for this 2Thousand Degrees by Tech Lighting Emerge Contemporary Wall Sconce - 700TDEMS?

Does this Craftmade Disco Ball Revolving Ceiling Fan Light Kit - LK55-BN comes in gold tone color or just brushed nickel? Also, does it come with the lights around it as shown and a motor so it can revolve? Do I need anything else to go along with it to have it lighted revolving and mounted to the ceiling? Lastly, how quickly can I get it if I order it today? Please advice.

Answer: This ceiling fan light kit from Craftmade only comes in the Brushed Nickel finish. You will need to buy the ceiling fan because the disco ball is a light kit that sits on it. Here is the direct link to the item: http://www.arcadianlighting.com/lk55-bn.html

I am interested in putting Access Lighting Mirage Contemporary Spot Light - AC-52220 into the ceiling. Please tell me if I can mount this spot light in a 6″ can and how it is secured.

Hi. I’m interested in purchasing the Dabmar D7 Series Stainless Steel Bollard Light - DM-D7, but I have a few questions.

1) Do you have specs detailing the mounting mechanism?
2) What (if any) mounting hardware is included with this product?
3) Can excess post length be cut off?

I ask because there is an existing concrete mount that is part of a bigger concrete pour–I think I’m stuck with trying to adapt or reuse what I have instead of starting anew. It’s a hassle, and I’m trying to figure out what needs to be done before an electrician starts clocking hours for the job. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Answer: Here are the answers to your questions:

1) Do you have specs detailing the mounting mechanism? We will email them to you once the manufacturer makes them available. Do you have a fax? Sometimes they can email the insulation manual and fax us the base pattern.

2) What (if any) mounting hardware is included with this product? This landscape lighting fixture from Dabmar comes with mounting hardware and all the necessary insulation hardware.

3) Can excess post length be cut off? No, you can NOT cut the item.

Does this Elk Lighting Arco Baleno Contemporary Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Light - ELK-417-3 work with a dimmer? if so, please respond soon since I want to order this lighting fixture right away. Thank you.

Answer: This ceiling light fixture from Elk Lighting can be placed on a dimmer. Generally, as long as you are working with incandescent lighting, then you can put the light on a dimmer. It is when you use compact fluorescent that you can not place the lighting fixture on a dimmer. So, as long as you stick to incandescent bulbs- everything is all good. Just to clarify, you would need a line voltage (incandescent) dimmer if you do not already have one. Hope this helps.
