Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using the ELECTOP Light Socket Extender. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or other hazards.

• Wattage Limit: Do not use light bulbs exceeding 60W with this extender. Using bulbs over 60W may cause the socket to overheat and potentially burn out.
• Voltage Compatibility: This extender is compatible with 100-240V systems. It does not convert voltage. Ensure your bulb and electrical system are within this range.
• Weight Limit: The maximum supported weight for an installed bulb is 300 grams (approximately 10.5 ounces). Exceeding this weight may compromise the stability of the bend angle and the integrity of the extender.
• Indoor Use Recommended: While durable, this product is primarily designed for indoor applications. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or extreme outdoor elements unless specifically rated for such conditions.
• Secure Installation: Ensure the extender and bulb are securely screwed into place to prevent accidental dislodgement.
• Power Off Before Installation: Always turn off the power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker before installing or removing the extender or any light bulb.

Setup

Unpacking

Carefully remove the ELECTOP Light Socket Extender from its packaging. Inspect the extender for any signs of damage during transit. If any damage is observed, do not proceed with installation and contact customer support.

Installation

1. Prepare the Fixture: Ensure the power to the light fixture is turned off at the main circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.
2. Screw in the Extender: Carefully screw the male end (E26/E27 screw base) of the ELECTOP Light Socket Extender into your existing light socket. Turn clockwise until it is snug, but do not overtighten.

4. Restore Power: Once both the extender and the bulb are securely installed, you may restore power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker.

Operation

Adjusting the Angle

The ELECTOP Light Socket Extender features a flexible joint that allows for angle adjustment. This enables you to direct the light output as desired.

1. Identify the Joint: Locate the adjustable joint between the male screw base and the female socket.
2. Carefully Adjust: Gently bend the extender at the joint to achieve the desired angle. The extender supports a 90-degree bending capability and 180-degree adjustability.
