Tiella from Tech Lighting pendants inquiry
My question is about the Tiella from Tech Lighting selection of pendants. I shop at my local Lowes, and their pendant selection is all rated at 35 watt, yet I see the same pendants available online listed as having 50 watt bulbs. Is the wiring the same for both lighting fixtures or is it different? Can a 50 watt bulb be placed in a 35 watt pendant?
Answer: Tech Lighting supplies Lowes with its products, but indeed there are subtle differences between the products sold to them and the products sold to online dealers. Thus, there is a difference in wiring if the maximum wattage of the pendants (at Lowes) can take is 35W. We would not recommend using a 50W bulb in a 35W fixture because it will burn it out, as well it can damage the glass and/or finish on the fixture. We hope this information helps.
