4. Installation Instructions
Before beginning installation, ensure the power to your light fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.
4.1. Pre-Installation Check
- Measure Your Light Socket: To ensure compatibility, measure the diameter of your light socket. The adjustable collar of the Kohree lamp cage is designed to fit sockets with a diameter between 1.26 inches (32mm) and 1.65 inches (42mm). Alternatively, you can measure the circumference of your light socket; it should be between approximately 3.96 inches and 5.18 inches.
- Verify Compatibility: If your light fixture's socket dimensions fall within this range, the lamp cage will fit.
4.2. Attaching the Lamp Cage
- Prepare the Collar: The lamp cage features an adjustable collar at the top. Loosen the clamping screws on the collar to allow for adjustment.
- Position the Cage: Carefully place the lamp cage over your existing light socket. The adjustable collar should sit around the base of the socket.
- Adjust and Secure: Adjust the collar to snugly fit the light socket. Once positioned, tighten the clamping screws firmly to secure the cage in place. Ensure the cage is stable and does not wobble.
- Install Bulb: Screw in your desired light bulb (not included) into the socket through the open bottom of the cage.

5. Operation
The Kohree Metal Bulb Guard Lamp Cage is a passive accessory. Once properly installed, its operation is integrated with your existing light fixture. Simply use your light fixture's switch to turn the light on or off as usual. The cage provides protection for the bulb and contributes to the aesthetic of the lighting.
- Ensure the light bulb is securely screwed into the socket.
- Confirm the lamp cage is firmly attached to the light socket to prevent movement.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and integrity of your lamp cage.
- Cleaning: To clean the lamp cage, ensure the light fixture is turned off and cool. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the clamping screws to ensure they remain tight and the cage is securely attached.
- Bulb Replacement: The open-style bottom allows for easy bulb replacement without removing the entire cage. Ensure the power is off and the bulb is cool before handling.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cage does not fit the light socket. | Socket diameter is outside the adjustable range (1.26" - 1.65"). | Verify your light socket's diameter. If it's outside the specified range, the cage is not compatible. |
| Cage is loose or wobbles after installation. | Clamping screws are not tightened sufficiently. | Ensure power is off. Re-tighten the clamping screws firmly until the cage is secure. |
| Bulb does not fit inside the cage. | Bulb dimensions exceed the internal space of the cage. | Use a smaller bulb. The cage is 7.5" H and 5.2" bottom diameter; ensure your bulb fits within these dimensions. |
