Light installation
How to install a designer ceiling light?
The installation of a designer ceiling light can vary depending on the model. It is recommended to call upon a professional for a safe and optimal installation, but you can install it yourself with a few tools. Each of our ceiling light models is sold with its instruction manual.
We are also at your disposal if you have any questions regarding the installation of your product.
Are pendant lights suitable for low ceilings?
Yes, pendant lights can be used with low ceilings, but it is essential to choose a model with an adjustable height to prevent it from hanging too low.
What is the ideal height to hang a pendant light?
The ideal height depends on the size of the room and the intended use. Generally, the recommended height is approximately 2.10 meters from the floor for a pendant light above a dining table.
Our light fixtures
Can I customize the cable length or the electrical system?
For certification reasons, we do not make bespoke changes to the electrical parts of our lights.
Our products are approved and certified as compliant with CE standards in their original configuration. We therefore cannot make technical changes to the product (changing the cable or lampholder) without invalidating this certification and the product warranty.
However, your project is still possible!
The vast majority of our shades are designed to fit standard lampholders (E14/E27). If you have specific requirements, we recommend choosing the C-Création shade you like, buying a suitable electrical kit from a specialist, then assembling the two.
We remain available for any questions.
Can a wooden table lamp be used outdoors?
Our indoor wooden table lamps are designed for indoor use only as they are not built to withstand weather conditions.
Can you use a pendant light in a bedroom?
Yes, pendant lights are perfect for a bedroom, providing a soft and relaxing light to create a soothing atmosphere.
Are designer ceiling lights suitable for low ceilings?
Yes, designer ceiling lights are an excellent option for low ceilings, as they do not clutter the space and create a sense of openness in the room.
Can I use a table lamp as the only source of lighting in a room?
Table lamps are ideal for providing accent lighting, but they are generally not sufficient to light an entire room. It is best to use them in addition to other light sources to achieve balanced lighting.
What maintenance does a wooden table lamp require?
To maintain a wooden table lamp, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
Are there designer ceiling lights suitable for large rooms?
Yes, there are large designer ceiling lights specially designed to illuminate large rooms with style and elegance. Opt for ceiling lights with 4 lights, for example, or our LED rings featuring adjustable cables up to 2.5 metres.
Is the wood used in table lamps treated?
Yes, most wooden table lamps are treated to improve their moisture resistance.
Are designer ceiling lights energy-efficient?
Yes, our designer ceiling lights are compatible with low-energy LED bulbs, making them an eco-friendly and economical choice.
Bulbs
Can I use traditional bulbs in a touch lamp?
Since the switch to Linky smart meters, the electronic control boxes of our touch lamps work only with dimmable LED bulbs (dimmer compatible).
We strongly recommend using our dimmable bulbs for the proper functioning of our touch-sensitive lamps. Tested and certified, we guarantee their compatibility with the touch system, unlike other bulb models, even dimmable ones, which may malfunction.
These are included with any purchase of a touch lamp on our website, and are available for individual sale or in our repair packs.
Can you change the bulb on a wooden table lamp?
Yes, most wooden table lamps are compatible with different types of bulbs, such as LED bulbs (which we recommend) or incandescent bulbs. We invite you to check the dimensions of the lamp and the bulb, or to choose the bulb that we recommend.
BOUDET / C-Création touch lamps
My touch lamp turns on by itself or no longer works. What should I do?
Since the rollout of the Linky meter, many customers have noticed that their touch lamp turns on by itself, changes intensity without being touched, or stops responding normally. This malfunction is linked to an incompatibility between the electronic touch box and the electrical signal emitted by Linky.
The solution is simple: replace the electronic box and/or the bulb with certified Linky-compatible components. C-Création offers repair kits adapted to each BOUDET touch lamp model.
How to find your repair kit?
Answer 4 quick questions (number of bulbs, type of base, box position, workshop or self-repair) to identify the kit suited to your light fixture.
Are the compatible bulbs included?
Yes. Our kits systematically include dimmable LED bulbs certified compatible with the Boudet touch system. Using other bulbs, even those labeled "dimmable", can cause malfunctions.
For any questions, our customer service is available at 02 96 83 92 89 from Monday to Friday.

Are touch lamps suitable for children?
Yes, touch lamps are safe and easy to use, making them an ideal choice for children's bedrooms.
Are touch lamps energy-efficient?
Yes, touch lamps are generally energy-efficient because they use low-energy LED bulbs.
How does a touch lamp work?
Touch lamps are equipped with a contact sensor in their base or stand. When you touch this area, the lamp reacts by turning on with a low light intensity.
A second touch triggers a medium intensity, a third touch triggers a high intensity.
Finally, a fourth touch turns the lamp off.
