Some of our lights are not field-adjustable and require an “overall drop length” to be specified along with the order. “Overall drop length” is the distance from the finished ceiling to the lowest part of the light fixture. SkLO will determine the necessary lengths of rigid brass stems and they will be cut to order.
SkLO produces custom work at its discretion. Custom works are reserved for contract sales and larger project volumes. SkLO will work with your project team to meet design briefs that work within the SkLO design language. Send inquiries to us@sklo.com
Some do, and others do not. See the Specifications section on each product page at sklo.com for more information.
SkLO Light products are available in either 120V or 240V standards. If you are ordering online, make sure you toggle the “US/EU” location switch at the upper right-hand side of the screen to see products whose standard is appropriate for your location, or email us with any questions.
Most SkLO Light fixtures meet the UL requirements for damp rating – see the Specifications section on each product page at sklo.com for each fixture rating and certification. No SkLO Light fixtures meet the UL requirements for wet rating.
Essentially, all conditioned interior spaces are considered to be “dry”, including bathrooms and kitchens. The only interior spaces that would be considered “damp” would be showers, steam rooms, or un-conditioned basements. Outdoor-covered locations are considered to be “damp”. Outdoor locations exposed completely and directly to the elements are considered “wet”.
Care Instructions are available on our “Resources” page .
