Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a screwdriver (Phillips or flathead depending on your junction box), wire strippers, a voltage tester, and a ladder. Have a helper for holding the glass globe and metal assembly while you connect wires.

How do I wire the Forked Pendant Linear Globe Opal Large?

Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Connect the fixture's live wire (usually brown or black) to the house live, neutral (blue or white) to neutral, and earth (green/yellow or bare) to the ground. Use wire nuts and secure all connections. Then mount the canopy to the ceiling box. Always double-check polarity and use a voltage tester to confirm power is off before touching wires.

How do I attach the opal glass globe and bulb?

After wiring, screw the Forked-specific dimmable Buster Bulb into the socket. Then carefully place the hand-blown opal glass globe over the bulb and secure it with the retaining ring or set screw provided—do not overtighten, as glass can crack. Finally, attach any decorative fork cover if included. Handle the glass globe with clean, dry hands or wear gloves to avoid fingerprints or oils that can etch the surface over time.

Can I use a different bulb?

The fixture is designed for the included Forked-specific dimmable Buster Bulb. Using a different bulb may affect dimming performance, light distribution, or fit within the opal glass globe. For best results, stick with the supplied bulb. If you need a replacement, contact Buster + Punch for the exact model to ensure compatibility.

Is the pendant dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a compatible dimmer switch and the included dimmable Buster Bulb. Not all dimmers work with LED bulbs; use a leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmer rated for LED loads. Test dimming after installation. If flickering occurs, try a different dimmer or check that the bulb is fully seated.
