FAQs
What makes Guild’s electrical fixtures “timeless design”?
Guild balances classic silhouettes with restrained detailing and premium materials (solid brass, hand-finished steel, and artisan glass). By keeping proportions traditional and finishes neutral, the fixtures look appropriate in both historic renovations and contemporary interiors, ensuring they will not date as trends change.
Are your fixtures compatible with modern LED bulbs and smart-home dimmers?
Yes. All Guild fixtures use standard E12 or E26 sockets rated for LED, CFL, and incandescent lamps. The internal drivers are TRIAC-dimmable and tested with leading smart-dimmer brands such as Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora Smart, and Philips Hue. Just confirm the dimmer is rated for the total LED wattage you plan to use.
Can the fixtures be installed in damp or outdoor locations?
Most pendants and sconces are UL-listed for dry or damp locations; specific ratings are listed on each product page. For fully exposed outdoor use, select models carry a wet-location rating with silicone-sealed joints and marine-grade powder coating. Always follow local code and consult a licensed electrician when installing outdoors.
Do you offer multiple finishes, and will they patinate over time?
We offer four core finishes—Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Matte Black, and Brushed Bronze. Metal finishes are sealed with a clear lacquer to slow oxidation, but live-finish variants (noted as "Hand-Rubbed" or "Raw") will gradually darken and develop character. Routine dusting and the occasional wipe with a soft, damp cloth keep surfaces looking their best.
Is professional installation required, or can I install the fixture myself?
Guild fixtures arrive with a universal mounting plate, pre-stripped leads, and illustrated instructions, so an experienced DIYer can complete installation on a standard 4 in. junction box. That said, code in many jurisdictions requires a licensed electrician, and we recommend hiring one if you are unfamiliar with wiring or if modifications (e.g., adding a dimmer circuit) are needed.
What warranties and certifications back your products?
All electrical fixtures carry a limited lifetime warranty on structural parts and a five-year warranty on electrical components. They are UL/cUL-listed for safety in North America and comply with RoHS directives for hazardous substances. Certificates and detailed warranty terms ship in the box and can be downloaded from the product page.
