Installation Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
2. Assemble Lamp Pole: Connect the sections of the lamp pole. Ensure all connections are secure. Some users have noted that the connector tube may require adjustment; ensure it fits flush.
3. Attach Mounting Bracket: Position the wall mounting bracket at your desired height and location. Mark the screw holes. Ensure the location allows the power cord to reach an outlet.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Insert wall anchors if drilling into drywall. For optimal stability, consider using more robust wall anchors than those typically supplied, especially if the wall material is thin.
5. Secure Lamp to Wall: Align the lamp pole with the mounting bracket and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the lamp is level before tightening all screws. Note that the wall bracket piece should screw onto a part of the connector tube; if it feels loose, ensure proper alignment or consider a small amount of adhesive for a more secure fit if necessary.
6. Install Glass Globes: Carefully screw the frosted glass globe shades onto the lamp sockets.
7. Insert LED Bulbs: Screw the provided E26 LED bulbs into the sockets within the glass globes.
8. Plug In: Plug the lamp's power cord into a standard wall outlet. The plug is designed to rotate, allowing for flexible orientation.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your wall sconce.

• Cleaning: Before cleaning, always unplug the lamp from the power outlet. Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the metal pole and glass globes. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes as they may damage the finish.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulbs have cooled completely before attempting to replace them. Use only E26 base LED bulbs with a maximum wattage of 9.5 watts.
• Inspection: Periodically check the power cord for any signs of damage. Ensure all mounting screws remain tight.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Brightech Equinox LED Wall Sconce, refer to the following common solutions:

• Lamp Does Not Turn On:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the wall switch (if applicable) or the lamp's integrated switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the bulbs are screwed in tightly and are not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
  • Test the outlet with another appliance to confirm it has power.
• Bulbs Appear Dim:
  • Ensure you are using the recommended LED bulbs (9.5 watts, 1000 lumens). Different bulbs may have varying brightness levels.
  • Check for any styrofoam or debris inside the bulb socket that might obstruct the connection.
• Lamp Feels Unstable After Installation:
  • Re-check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightened securely into the wall anchors.
  • If using drywall anchors, consider replacing them with more robust anchors for increased stability, especially if the wall material is thin.
  • Ensure the connector tube between lamp sections is fully engaged and secure.
