Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and powered, the Rabalux 5421 UFO Ceiling Light operates via a standard wall switch connected to your household electrical circuit.

• Turning On/Off: Use the wall switch to turn the light fixture on or off.
• Dimmable Feature: This fixture is designed to be dimmable. To utilize this feature, you must use compatible dimmable E27 bulbs and connect the fixture to a suitable dimmer switch (both sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with your dimmer switch and dimmable bulbs for proper operation.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure the power is off. Wipe the wooden frame and metal parts with a soft, dry cloth. The opal diffuser can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth, then dried immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Bulb Replacement:
  1. Turn off the power supply at the circuit breaker.
  2. Carefully remove the opal diffuser.
  3. Unscrew the old E27 bulb(s) counter-clockwise.
  4. Screw in new E27 bulb(s) clockwise, ensuring they do not exceed 60W each.
  5. Reattach the opal diffuser securely.
  6. Restore power and test the light.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Rabalux 5421 UFO Ceiling Light, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Light does not turn on:
  • Check if the main power supply is on at the circuit breaker.
  • Ensure the wall switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the bulbs are correctly screwed into their sockets and are not faulty. Try testing with a known working bulb.
  • Inspect electrical connections for any loose wires (ensure power is off before checking).

  • Check that bulbs are screwed in tightly.
  • Ensure the total wattage of the bulbs does not exceed the dimmer's capacity.
• Unusual noise or smell:
