Dale E27 pendant set: allow for the bulb when measuring the drop

A pendant photo can show the finished light even when the catalogue lists the lamp separately. If you’re ordering the Forum InLight Dale INL-27988-SNIC, make a list of what you need before choosing a bulb or arranging installation.

Read the model number and cap first

Start with INL-27988-SNIC. Forum InLight lists this Dale model as satin nickel with a grey twisted cord and an E27 lamp holder. If you plan to reuse a bulb, read the cap marking and check the bulb’s body size against the space available. The E27 designation alone does not tell you how wide or long the bulb is.

Measure the drop with the bulb in mind

The catalogue lists cable adjustment up to 1 m. Measure from the ceiling to the point where you want the bottom of the finished pendant, including the bulb. Note any door, cupboard or tall furniture that passes underneath. Give that measurement and the selected bulb dimensions to the installer so they can check the finished drop and clearance.

Keep the set and lamp on separate lines

Put the pendant model on one line of your shopping list and the lamp reference on another. If you are matching an existing control, give its model and the lamp reference to the installer before assuming the combination is suitable. Ask APM to confirm what comes in the supplied pack if you need all components for the same visit.
