- Prepare for Installation: Turn off the main power supply to the installation area at the circuit breaker.
- Mount the Pendant: Securely attach the pendant lamp's ceiling rose (not explicitly detailed in product info, assume standard mounting) to the ceiling junction box using appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure all electrical connections are made correctly (Live, Neutral, Earth) according to local wiring regulations.
- Insert the Bulb: Carefully screw an E27 base bulb into the lamp holder. The bronze fitting features two adjustable rings; ensure they are positioned to securely hold the bulb's neck and base.
- Adjust Cord Length: If necessary, adjust the cord length by shortening it within the ceiling rose or by using a cord grip.

The CALEX Retro Pendant Lamp operates via a standard wall switch connected to its electrical circuit. Simply toggle the switch to turn the lamp on or off.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your pendant lamp.
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the bronze fitting and cord. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these may damage the finish.
