Safety Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, always follow these basic safety precautions:
- Disconnect Power: Always turn off the electrical supply at the main fuse box or circuit breaker before installing, servicing, or cleaning the fixture.
- Qualified Electrician: If you are unsure about the installation process, consult a qualified electrician.
- Indoor Use Only: This fixture is rated for indoor locations only. Do not install in wet or damp areas.
- Proper Wiring: Ensure all electrical connections are made in accordance with local codes and ordinances, as well as the National Electric Code (NEC).
- Bulb Specifications: Use only the specified bulb type and wattage (E26 base, maximum 60 watts incandescent or equivalent LED/CFL). Exceeding the maximum wattage may cause overheating.
- Secure Mounting: Ensure the fixture is securely mounted to a structurally sound junction box.
Package Contents
Verify that all components listed below are present and undamaged:
- Pendant Fixture Assembly (CPJM-1PNK)
- Extension Rods (Two 6-inch, Two 12-inch)

Installation (Setup)
Follow these steps to install your pendant light:
- Prepare for Installation: Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Ensure the power is completely disconnected before proceeding.
- Assemble Downrod: Determine the desired hanging height for your pendant. Connect the appropriate combination of 6-inch and 12-inch extension rods to the fixture body and the canopy. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Wiring Connections: Carefully connect the fixture's electrical wires to the corresponding wires from the junction box. Typically, connect the black fixture wire to the black (live) supply wire, the white fixture wire to the white (neutral) supply wire, and the bare copper or green fixture wire to the green or bare copper (ground) supply wire. Use approved wire connectors and ensure all connections are tight.
- Mount Fixture: Securely attach the canopy to the existing junction box using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the fixture is stable and flush against the ceiling.
- Install Bulb: Insert one E26 base, maximum 60-watt incandescent bulb (or equivalent LED/CFL) into the socket. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

Operation
The Craftmade CPJM-1PNK pendant light is operated via a standard wall switch. For dimming functionality, ensure you are using a dimmable E26 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch (not included) installed in your electrical system.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your fixture.
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes as they may damage the finish.
