Product Safety & Care Information

Last updated: October 29, 2026

This Product Safety & Care Information page provides general safety, installation, handling, and maintenance guidance for products sold through nordiclampco.com.

Nordic Lamp Co. offers different types of home decor and lighting products. Because designs, materials, electrical configurations, and intended uses vary, the instructions and specifications for individual products may differ.

Important: Always review the applicable product page, packaging, labels, warnings, and instructions supplied with your specific product before installation or use.

The information on this page provides general guidance and does not replace product-specific safety instructions, applicable electrical codes, manufacturer warnings, or mandatory product-safety requirements.

If any required technical or safety information is missing or unclear, contact us before installing, connecting, or using the product.

1. Product-Specific Information Comes First

The individual product page, product labeling, and supplied instructions are the primary sources for product-specific information.

Depending on the product, this information may include:

  • product dimensions;
  • materials and finishes;
  • power source;
  • rated voltage;
  • wattage or maximum power rating;
  • plug or connection type;
  • bulb or light-source requirements;
  • included components and accessories;
  • intended location of use;
  • installation and mounting requirements;
  • maintenance and cleaning instructions;
  • relevant safety markings; and
  • product-specific warnings.

Do not assume that specifications shown for one Nordic Lamp Co. product also apply to another product.

A lamp described as decorative should not automatically be assumed suitable for outdoor use, wet locations, hardwired installation, or every electrical system.

Product-specific ratings and warnings must be followed. General guidance on this page must not be interpreted as permission to use a product outside its stated specifications.

If information appears inconsistent or unclear, do not use the product until the relevant requirements have been clarified.

2. Electrical Compatibility

Before connecting or using an electrical lighting product, verify that the product is suitable for your intended electrical setup.

Where applicable, check:

  • rated input voltage;
  • frequency requirements;
  • power consumption and maximum electrical ratings;
  • plug type;
  • bulb or integrated light-source compatibility;
  • socket or fitting type;
  • power-adapter requirements; and
  • any specified transformer or driver requirements.

Do not connect a product to an incompatible power supply.

Do not assume that a lighting product is compatible with standard United States household voltage solely because it is offered through a United States online store.

Only use the product with the electrical supply and accessories specified in its actual product documentation.

Do not use improvised adapters, damaged converters, modified plugs, or power supplies that are not suitable for the product's requirements.

If the product specifications are unclear or do not match your electrical system, do not connect the product. Contact us before use at:

3. Installation

Follow all installation and mounting instructions supplied with the product.

Some lighting products may be designed for simple placement or connection using a compatible plug. Others may require permanent mounting, wiring, or professional installation.

Do not attempt electrical installation, rewiring, modification, or repair unless you are appropriately qualified to do so.

Where a product requires connection to household wiring or another installation that must be performed by a professional, use a suitably qualified electrician or installer.

Electrical installation must comply with applicable local electrical and building codes.

Improper installation may create risks including:

  • electric shock;
  • overheating;
  • fire;
  • damage to the product;
  • falling fixtures; or
  • damage to surrounding property.

Before installation, check that the mounting location, supporting surface, hardware, and electrical connection are suitable for the product.

Do not install a fixture on an unstable surface or use mounting components that are incompatible with its design.

For hardwired fixtures, electrical power must be safely isolated before installation or servicing by a qualified person.

Never modify a product to make it fit an unsuitable electrical connection or mounting arrangement.

4. Bulbs and Light Sources

Where a product requires a separate bulb or replaceable light source, use only a compatible type.

Check the applicable product instructions for:

  • bulb fitting or socket type;
  • maximum permitted wattage;
  • rated voltage;
  • bulb shape or size restrictions;
  • compatibility with enclosed fixtures where relevant;
  • dimmer compatibility where applicable; and
  • other electrical or thermal requirements.

Do not exceed the maximum electrical rating stated for the product.

Do not assume that every lamp supports LED bulbs, replaceable bulbs, dimming, or interchangeable light sources unless expressly stated in the product specifications.

Some products may contain integrated lighting components that are not intended to be replaced by the customer.

Never attempt to open, dismantle, or replace integrated electrical components unless the product instructions expressly permit it and the procedure can be performed safely.

Whether a bulb or light source is included varies by product. Check the individual product page before ordering.

Switch the product off, disconnect it from power where applicable, and allow the light source to cool before replacing a bulb.

5. Heat and Ventilation

Lighting products may become warm during normal operation. The amount of heat depends on the product design, power source, bulb type, and operating conditions.

Where applicable:

  • keep ventilation openings unobstructed;
  • do not cover the lamp while it is operating;
  • keep the product away from curtains, fabrics, paper, and other combustible materials;
  • avoid placing heat-sensitive objects directly against the product;
  • allow the product to cool before handling, moving, or cleaning it; and
  • follow any minimum-clearance instructions supplied with the product.

Do not place a lamp in an enclosed or poorly ventilated space unless it is specifically designed for that installation.

Stop using the product immediately if it becomes unusually hot, emits smoke, produces an unusual smell, sparks, or shows another sign of malfunction.

Disconnect the product from power where safe to do so. If there is an active fire, immediate danger, or a serious electrical hazard, move to safety and contact the appropriate emergency services.

Do not reconnect or continue using a product that may be electrically unsafe.

6. Water and Moisture

Do not expose a lighting or electrical product to water, excessive humidity, or outdoor conditions unless the product is specifically identified as suitable for that environment.

An indoor product should not automatically be assumed to be:

  • waterproof;
  • water-resistant;
  • suitable for bathrooms;
  • suitable for damp or wet locations; or
  • suitable for outdoor use.

Only rely on these characteristics when they are expressly stated for the specific product.

Where applicable, review the product's stated environmental or ingress-protection rating and the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Do not place indoor electrical products near sinks, bathtubs, showers, or other water sources where they could become wet.

If an electrical product becomes wet and is not intended for such exposure, stop using it. Do not touch or disconnect energized electrical equipment if doing so would be unsafe.

Have the product assessed by an appropriately qualified person before further use where necessary.

7. Placement

Place lamps and home-decor products on stable, level, and suitable surfaces.

Where relevant:

  • keep cords positioned to reduce trip hazards;
  • avoid placing products where they may easily fall or be knocked over;
  • keep products away from unstable edges;
  • keep electrical products away from sinks and other water sources unless specifically designed for such use;
  • do not place products where ventilation is restricted;
  • avoid blocking walkways or emergency exits;
  • keep lamps away from combustible materials as required by their instructions; and
  • ensure any mounting or supporting furniture can safely hold the product.

Consider the surrounding environment when deciding where to position a lamp.

Products designed for tabletop use should not be mounted or suspended unless the manufacturer's instructions expressly allow it.

Do not place electrical cords beneath rugs, carpets, or other materials in a manner that may trap heat or cause damage.

Always follow any product-specific positioning and clearance requirements.

8. Children and Pets

Some lighting and decorative products may contain:

  • electrical cords;
  • small components;
  • glass or other breakable parts;
  • batteries;
  • hot surfaces;
  • sharp edges if damaged; or
  • other parts that require careful handling.

Keep products, detachable components, and packaging materials away from children and pets where appropriate.

Products that are not specifically designed and identified as toys must not be treated as children's toys.

Keep electrical cords and hanging components positioned to reduce entanglement, pulling, or tip-over risks.

Do not allow children to handle damaged electrical products or access exposed electrical components.

Where a product contains button-cell or coin batteries, keep both new and used batteries away from children. Swallowed batteries can cause serious internal injuries.

If battery ingestion is suspected, seek immediate emergency medical assistance. Do not wait for symptoms to develop.

Follow all product-specific child-safety warnings and battery-compartment instructions.

9. Batteries

If a product uses replaceable batteries:

  • use only the battery type specified for the product;
  • insert batteries with the correct polarity;
  • do not mix incompatible battery types or old and new batteries where prohibited;
  • do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not designed for recharging;
  • remove damaged or leaking batteries carefully while avoiding contact with leaked material;
  • keep new and used batteries away from children;
  • ensure battery compartments are securely closed; and
  • dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable local requirements.

If a product contains a rechargeable battery, use the charging equipment, power source, and charging method specified for that product.

Do not charge a battery-powered product on or near flammable materials if the product instructions prohibit doing so.

Stop charging or using a battery-powered product if the battery becomes swollen, unusually hot, damaged, or begins leaking.

Do not puncture, crush, dismantle, or expose batteries to excessive heat or fire.

Battery-powered products must also comply with any applicable product-specific safety warnings and regulatory requirements.

10. Cords, Plugs, and Power Components

Before use, inspect accessible electrical components for visible damage.

Do not use a product if you notice:

  • a damaged or frayed cord;
  • exposed wiring;
  • a damaged plug;
  • a cracked or overheating power adapter;
  • loose electrical components;
  • signs of burning or melting; or
  • another condition that may make use unsafe.

Do not pull a plug from an outlet by pulling on the cord.

Avoid tightly bending, crushing, pinching, or trapping power cables.

Do not route cords where they may be damaged by furniture, doors, sharp edges, or repeated foot traffic.

Use extension cords and power strips only where suitable for the product and permitted by the applicable instructions and electrical requirements.

Never bypass grounding connections, protective components, or other electrical safety features.

If a plug, cord, adapter, or power component is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.

11. Cleaning

Before cleaning an electrical lighting product:

  1. switch it off;
  2. disconnect it from power where applicable and safe to do so; and
  3. allow the product and its light source to cool completely.

Unless the product instructions expressly state otherwise, do not immerse electrical components in water or allow moisture to enter electrical openings.

Use cleaning methods appropriate for the actual product material and finish.

For general surface care, a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth may be suitable for many decorative surfaces, provided the product instructions do not specify a different method.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, or solvents unless the product instructions confirm that they are suitable.

Do not spray liquid cleaners directly into electrical fittings, switches, charging ports, or ventilation openings.

Glass, metal, painted, coated, fabric, wood, and other materials may require different cleaning methods.

Where product-specific cleaning guidance is available, follow that guidance rather than relying on general care recommendations.

12. Modification and Repair

Do not materially modify an electrical product or its safety-related components.

Unauthorized modification may make a product unsafe and may affect its intended performance.

Do not attempt to:

  • rewire electrical components without appropriate qualifications;
  • bypass protective devices or safety features;
  • replace components with incompatible parts;
  • alter the product's intended electrical configuration;
  • modify a plug or power adapter to fit an incompatible supply; or
  • continue operating a product with known electrical damage.

Where repair is appropriate, it should be carried out by a suitably qualified person using compatible components.

If a product appears unsafe, stop using it until the issue has been properly assessed.

This guidance does not limit statutory rights to repair, replacement, refund, or other remedies for defective or non-conforming products.
