• - Ilala palm is a natural fibre. As with all natural fibres, variations in colour and thickness may be apparent - we consider this to be part of the charm of handcrafted pieces and not a flaw.
  - To clean, we suggest you vacuum or dust your pendant light regularly.
• - We recommend using a licensed electrician to install your pendant light.
  - To hang your light, you will require the following: an electrical cable or cord; a ceiling hook; a piece of chain or rope; a lampholder for a 40mm hole; and a ceiling rose.
  - There are many options available for these hanging pieces. For example, to hang the Tonga light in the bathroom in our studio, we used a simple brass cup hook in the ceiling and some of our thick hemp twine to carry the weight, for the electrical cable we chose a beautiful linen cable sourced from Creative Cables and we painted a white plastic lampholder and a ceiling rose with gold spray paint. 
  - Or you may prefer something better suited to your interior style such as a black or white cable, silver ceiling rose, a thick piece of rope - whatever works for your decor.
  - This pendant light weighs approximately 3-4kgs so be sure to use a suitable hook for this weight.
