How to Replace a Glass Globe: Florii Spare Parts Guide

Quick answer

Replacing a frosted Florii glass globe on a Nuura pendant is a straightforward process: remove the old globe, insert the new spare part, and secure it. This guide walks you through each step and highlights common mistakes.

Step-by-step replacement guide

1. Turn off power and let the bulb cool: Switch off the light at the wall and wait until the bulb and glass are cool to the touch. Never work on a hot fixture. A common mistake is forgetting to let the bulb cool, which can cause burns or glass breakage.
2. Remove the existing glass globe: Gently hold the glass globe and unscrew it counterclockwise or release any retaining clips, depending on your model. Support the globe with your other hand to prevent dropping. If the globe is stuck, do not force it—twist gently or check for a hidden set screw.
3. Inspect the socket and bulb: Check that the socket is clean and undamaged. Replace the bulb if it is burned out or if you are upgrading to a compatible LED type. Skipping this step may lead to flickering or poor contact after the new globe is installed.
4. Insert the new Florii glass globe: Align the new frosted glass globe with the socket and screw it clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten—glass can crack under excessive pressure. A loose globe may wobble, but overtightening risks cracking the glass.
5. Restore power and test: Turn the light back on and check that the globe is secure and the light diffuses evenly. If you notice any wobble or gap, turn off the power and reseat the globe. If the globe does not sit flush, it may be cross-threaded—remove and re-align before tightening.
