  • The clear glass panels are designed to allow maximum light output and showcase decorative bulbs.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your light fixture.

  • Cleaning: To clean the fixture, first ensure the power is off. Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. For glass panels, use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid streaks. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
