Operating Instructions
Bulb Requirements
This chandelier uses standard mini "chandler" bulb sockets. It is compatible with both incandescent and LED bulbs. Ensure the bulbs you choose are suitable for the fixture's voltage (110 Volts) and do not exceed the maximum wattage specified on the socket or fixture label.
Dimming Functionality
The Aiwen 3-Light Chandelier is dimmable, provided you use dimmable light bulbs and a compatible dimmer control switch. If using LED bulbs, ensure your dimmer switch is specifically designed for LED dimming to prevent flickering or damage. All incandescent bulbs are generally dimmable.

- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear or damage.
