03  Ordering & Payment
How do I place an order?

Add the product(s) you want to your cart, review the quantities and delivery details, then proceed through checkout to complete payment. The order is submitted after the payment step is successfully completed.

How do I know whether my order was submitted successfully?

Your order has normally been submitted successfully when payment is completed and an order-confirmation email is sent to the email address used at checkout.

If you do not receive the confirmation email, check your spam or junk folder first. If it is still missing, contact [email protected] with your name, email address and any payment reference available. Please avoid submitting a second payment until the order status has been checked.

What payment methods do you accept?

The payment methods available for your order are shown at checkout. You can also review the current options on our Payment Methods page.

When will my payment be charged?

Payment is processed when you complete checkout through the selected payment provider. Your bank or payment provider may display a pending authorization before the transaction is fully settled.

What currency will I be charged in?

The order total and payment currency are shown at checkout before you confirm payment. Your bank or card issuer may apply its own exchange rate or international-transaction fee.

Why did my payment fail?

A payment can fail because of an incorrect billing detail, a bank security check, a card limit, an unsupported payment method or a temporary provider error. Confirm your details and try an available payment method. If the issue continues, contact your bank or payment provider first.

Can I update an order after payment?

Contact [email protected] promptly with your order number and the requested change. We can only review changes before the order has been processed or dispatched.

Can I place a large or trade order?

For a large quantity or project requirement, email [email protected] with the product links, quantities, destination and target timeline. Availability and lead time will be checked for the requested items.

04  Product Information

No. All products on 4lightings.com are supplied without bulbs unless a product listing explicitly states otherwise. Please check the product page for the required bulb base, wattage and quantity.

What voltage are the products compatible with?

Product voltage depends on the specific model. As a general reference:

Always confirm the voltage shown on the product page, checkout and order confirmation before installation. If your local supply differs, consult a qualified electrician before purchasing or installing the product.

Are the products dimmable?

Dimming depends on the fixture and on the bulb and dimmer you use. Because bulbs are not included, select a bulb that is explicitly labelled “Dimmable” and confirm that it is compatible with your dimmer and the fixture. A bulb with adjustable colour temperature or multiple colours is not automatically dimmable.

What bulb base and wattage should I use?

The required bulb base, maximum wattage and recommended bulb type are listed on the relevant product page. Please do not exceed the stated wattage or use a bulb with an incompatible base.

Are product dimensions accurate?

Dimensions are provided on each product page. Small measurement differences may occur because of manual measurement or production tolerances. Please check the listed dimensions and ceiling or wall space before ordering.

Are spare parts or accessories included?

Only the components listed on the product page are included. Bulbs are not included. If you need to confirm a specific accessory or component, include the product link or order number when contacting [email protected].

How do I choose the right size or style?

Compare the product dimensions with the room, mounting position and available clearance. Consider the required light direction, bulb type, finish and installation method shown in the product specifications.

05  Installation & Usage
Do products come with installation instructions?

Each product is supplied with its own installation instructions. Please read them fully before installation and check that all listed components are present.

What should I do if the installation instructions are missing?

If the instructions are missing, contact [email protected] and provide your order number and product details. We can provide the available digital instructions or installation guidance.

Do I need a professional electrician?

Lighting products should be installed by a qualified electrician or another suitably competent professional, especially where mains wiring is involved. Switch off the power before installation and follow local electrical requirements.

Can I install the product outdoors?

Only products explicitly described as suitable for outdoor use should be installed outdoors. Check the product page for its intended location and protection rating before installation.

What should I check before installation?

Confirm the product dimensions, voltage, bulb base, maximum wattage, mounting surface and included components. Make sure the power is switched off and that the installation location provides sufficient clearance and support.
