Installation / Setup
Tools Required (not included): Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, safety glasses.
- Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse box that supplies power to the light fixture location. Turn off the power completely before beginning any work.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: If replacing an existing fixture, carefully remove it. Ensure the electrical outlet box is securely mounted to the wall structure.

- Make Electrical Connections:
- Connect the bare copper or green ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the outlet box (usually bare copper or green) using a wire nut. If no ground wire is present in the outlet box, attach the fixture's ground wire to the ground screw on the mounting strap.
- Connect the white (neutral) wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the outlet box using a wire nut.
- Connect the black (hot) wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the outlet box using a wire nut.
- Ensure all wire nuts are securely tightened and no bare wire is exposed. Wrap connections with electrical tape if desired for added security.
- Mount Fixture: Carefully tuck all wires into the outlet box. Align the fixture's mounting holes with the screws on the mounting strap. Secure the fixture to the mounting strap using the decorative nuts or screws provided.
- Install Bulbs: Insert the appropriate light bulbs (not included) into the sockets. Refer to the "Specifications" section for recommended bulb type and maximum wattage.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure power is off. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes as they may damage the finish.
