4. Setup and Installation
This section provides general guidelines for installing the Ideal Lux ODEON PL22 ceiling light. It is strongly recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.
4.1. Preparation
- Turn off Power: Locate the main circuit breaker for the room where the light will be installed and switch off the power. Verify that the power is off using a voltage tester.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable ceiling location that can support the weight of the fixture (approximately 5.1 kg for the fixture, 6.63 kg packaged). Ensure there are no hidden wires or pipes.
- Gather Tools: You will need a screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, drill, and possibly a ladder.
4.2. Mounting the Fixture
- Attach Mounting Bracket: Secure the provided mounting bracket to the ceiling junction box using the screws and wall plugs appropriate for your ceiling type. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Connect Wiring: Carefully connect the electrical wires from the ceiling to the fixture's wires. Typically, this involves connecting live (brown/red) to live, neutral (blue/black) to neutral, and earth (green/yellow) to earth. Use appropriate terminal blocks or connectors and ensure all connections are secure.
- Secure Fixture: Carefully lift the light fixture and align it with the mounting bracket. Secure the fixture to the bracket using the provided screws, ensuring it is flush against the ceiling and stable.
4.3. Installing Bulbs
- Insert G4 Bulbs: Gently push the pins of each G4 halogen bulb into the corresponding sockets. Do not force them.
- Avoid Touching: Use a clean cloth or gloves when handling halogen bulbs to prevent oils from your skin from affecting their lifespan.
Once installation is complete, restore power at the circuit breaker.
5. Operating Instructions
The Ideal Lux ODEON PL22 ceiling light does not feature an integrated switch or dimmer. It is designed to be controlled by a standard wall switch connected to your household electrical circuit.
- Turning On/Off: Use the wall switch connected to the fixture to turn the light on or off.
- Dimming: This fixture is not compatible with dimmers as specified in the product description. Attempting to use a dimmer may damage the fixture or bulbs.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and performance of your light fixture.

- Dusting: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently dust the chrome finish and glass components.
- Stubborn Marks: For more stubborn marks, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
- Drying: Ensure the fixture is completely dry before restoring power.
6.2. Bulb Replacement
When a G4 halogen bulb reaches the end of its life, replace it with a new G4 halogen bulb of the same wattage (max 10W).
- Turn off Power: Switch off the power to the fixture at the circuit breaker and allow the old bulb to cool completely.
- Remove Old Bulb: Gently pull the old G4 bulb straight out of its socket.
- Insert New Bulb: Using a clean cloth or gloves, gently push the pins of the new G4 bulb into the socket until it is fully seated.
- Restore Power: Once all bulbs are replaced, restore power at the circuit breaker.
