FAQ
Are these lights going to brighten up the whole room?
Fofa Haus lights are designed to create a soft, ambient glow. They are not meant to fully light an entire room but to serve as accent pieces that add warmth and atmosphere. Their purpose is to change the vibe of a space, not flood it with brightness.
​
Are these medical lamps?
No, Fofa Haus lights are not medical or therapeutic devices. They are designed for mood, atmosphere, and creative expression rather than for medical or light therapy use. While different light colors can support a sense of calm, focus, or energy, our lamps are meant for decorative and personal enjoyment only.
​
What parts of the Collection 86 (Gen 2) can I swap out at home?
The shade is the only part that can be swapped out at home. You are able to choose your design from the available shade styles, shade colors, light colors (lenses), and cord colors when building your lamp.
​
How are the shades made?
Each shade is designed using professional CAD software and 3D printed in our studio with recycled PLA filament. This process allows for precision, consistency, and reduced material waste.
​
Can I change the color or brightness of the light?
Not for now, we like to keep things simple and true to their design. Our lamps are meant to create a soft, ambient vibe that adds warmth to your space without taking over the room. Think of them as mood lights that help set the tone, not floodlights that fill it.
​
That said, the next generation (Gen 3) will introduce magnetic color lenses that can be easily swapped at home. Giving you more ways to shape your light while keeping the same clean, minimal design.
​
How long are the cords?
Each cord is 6 feet long and includes a built-in switch for easy access.
​
What bulbs do they take, and are they replaceable?
The Collection 86 lamps use an E12 LED bulb that should last more than six years with regular use. The bulb is replaceable by gently removing the rubber grommet and pulling out the socket. Always unplug your lamp before changing the bulb.
​
Do you take custom design orders for shades?
As of now, we do not take custom shade design orders, but it is something we plan to explore in the future.
​
Can I leave the light on for days straight?
While the LED bulb produces very little heat and uses minimal energy, we recommend turning your lamp off when it’s not in use. This ensures both safety and longevity for the components.
​
What does Fofa Haus have planned for the future?
We are currently developing the Pille 88 Collection. It will include two new wood bases, two new metal rings, and several new shade designs. We’re also adding our magnetic “Mag Tech” system, allowing users to swap out metal rings and colored shades at home for an even more interactive experience.
​
Are the lamps made by hand?
Yes. Every Fofa Haus light is designed, built, and shipped from our small studio in Rochester, New York. Each piece is inspected and assembled by hand to ensure quality and consistency.
​
Do you ship internationally?
Currently, we ship within the United States. We plan to expand international shipping as our production scales.
​
What if my light arrives damaged?
If your lamp arrives damaged, please contact us right away at info@fofahaus.com with photos of the issue. We’ll make it right as quickly as possible.
​
Are your materials sustainable?
We do our best to make mindful choices. Our shades are 3D printed with recycled PLA, a plant-based biodegradable material. Our wood bases are sourced from trusted local suppliers and finished with low-VOC, non-toxic coatings.
