The LED hanging lamp BUOY.3000 serves for illumination in dry interiors and is
intended for ceiling mounting.
It is equipped with a 2.6 watts LED illuminant with a beam angle of 36 degrees.
Thus, it is suitable for directed illumination, for example above the dining table,
the bar or in the lounge area.
Due to its warm white LED light (2700 K), the hanging lamp is particularly suitable
for atmospheric illumination.
The three-core lamp cable with textile jacket has a length of approx. 1.5 m. At the
end of the cable a suspension device with a plastic strain relief as well as a ceiling
rose are provided.
WAGO lustre terminals are pre-installed at the end of the cables for the electrical
connection. The electrical connection has to be carried out by qualified electricians.
Intended use
Our basic idea when designing the hanging lamp BUOY.3000 is to transform a pro-
duct which has served its time, a tin coffee bean container, into an amazing design
object with as little use of energy and additional material as possible. After a
sometimes hard life, the coffee box thus becomes a ceiling lamp – maybe with the
potential to become a design icon.
Each BUOY.3000 is absolutely one of a kind due to its signs of wear and tear. As a
real upcycling product it has dents, scratches and sometimes slight flash rust.
Of course this is not a deficiency here, but rather a sign of individuality and the
character of this hanging lamp. The beauty lies in the uniqueness.
Each of our hanging lamps has a hologram seal at the bottom side with its indivi-
dual serial character and the serial number as proof of authenticity and for identi-
fication.

Warranty
The LED hanging lamp BUOY.3000 is only intended for use in dry interiors (not suit-
able for moist rooms) and may only be used corresponding to its construction.
Installation may only be carried out by an authorized electrician, do not install
it yourself! An improper and unprofessional approach when dealing with supply
voltage is life-threatening for you and also other persons. There is danger to life
through electric shock.
Before starting the electrical installation, the electric circuit has to be switched off
by means of the fuse/residual current circuit breaker.
Only the parts installed by the manufacturer may be used. Do not reconstruct,
disassemble or modify the lamp. At the bottom of the lamp shade next to the illu-
minant holder there is a pan-head screw at which the protective earth conductor is
mounted inside. Said screw must never be operated, loosened or removed. If it is
manipulated in any way not only the approval (CE) expires but it may lead to security
gaps and there is danger to life through electric shock.
Children, persons whose physical, mental or other abilities are restricted and who
cannot operate this hanging lamp safely as well as unauthorized persons may not
operate this electrical device unattended.
Never look into the light of the LED illuminant installed in the lamp directly or with
optical instruments in order to avoid the risk of eye damage.
Safety instructions
The LED hanging lamp BUOY.3000 may not be disposed of with other
household waste at the end of its lifetime. For return there are collection
points for electrical and waste electronic devices in your vicinity which
are free of charge. The addresses can be obtained from your urban or
municipal administration.
Separate collection of electrical and waste electronic devices serves to enable
reutilization, material recycling or other forms of recycling of waste devices as well
as to avoid negative consequences due to disposal of the dangerous substances
possibly contained in the devices to the environment and human health.
