Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. It is recommended to have two people for installation.
- Prepare for Installation: Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker. Remove the old fixture if applicable.
- Attach Mounting Bracket: Secure the mounting bracket to the junction box in your ceiling using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Adjust Cord Length: Determine the desired hanging height for each pendant. Loosen the set screws on the canopy to adjust the length of each cord. Once the desired length is achieved, tighten the set screws to secure the cords. The fixture is adjustable from 12.5 inches (minimum) to 69.5 inches (maximum) from the ceiling.
- Wire Connections: Connect the fixture's wires to your household electrical wires. Connect the black wire (Live/Hot) from the fixture to the black wire from the junction box. Connect the white wire (Neutral) from the fixture to the white wire from the junction box. Connect the ground wire (bare copper or green) from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box. Secure all connections with wire nuts and wrap with electrical tape for added safety.
- Mount Canopy: Carefully push the canopy up to the ceiling, aligning the holes in the canopy with the screws on the mounting bracket. Secure the canopy in place with the decorative nuts or screws provided.
- Assemble Pendants:
- Attach the gold socket component to the end of each pendant cord.
- Carefully slide each clear glass shade over the gold socket component.
- Secure the glass shade in place, typically by screwing a retaining ring onto the socket.
- Install Bulbs: Screw E12 base bulbs (not included, max 40W each) into each socket. Do not overtighten.
