Can I use a dimmer?

Yes, in fact we recommend using a dimmer so that you have much more control over the level of lighting in your environment.

A dimmer will greatly enhance the beauty of your Niche Modern light fixture by allowing you to "dial down" the light level to achieve the right mood.

What voltage do the lights accept?

Niche Modern lights accept 110 - 120 voltage, the standard electrical voltage supplied in the United States.

This is also known as Line Voltage.

We do not currently offer any Low Voltage (12v) fixtures although we are working on producing some now.

Can I install the lights myself?

While installing a Niche Modern light requires only basic electrical knowledge and is quite easy, we always strongly advise that a qualified electrician familiar with local regulations and electrical codes install the light(s).
