Operation
The Crystorama Paxton Sconce is designed for simple operation once installed. It is controlled by an external wall switch (not included) or a compatible touch/push button control system if integrated into your home's wiring.
- Turning On/Off: Use the wall switch connected to the fixture's circuit to turn the light on or off.
- Control Method: The fixture itself does not have an integrated switch. Control is managed via the external electrical system.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your sconce.
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure power is off. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, polishes, or solvents as they may damage the finish. For the fabric shade, use a lint roller or a soft brush to remove dust.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing the bulb. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before removal. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new E12 Candelabra base bulb, not exceeding 60 watts.
- Crystal Care: The crystal embellishment can be gently wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
