Setup and Installation

Before you begin: Ensure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. It is recommended to have a second person assist with installation.

1. Prepare the Area: Clear the installation area and ensure you have all necessary tools (screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, ladder).
2. Mount the Ceiling Plate: Attach the mounting bracket from the hardware kit to your electrical junction box in the ceiling. Ensure it is securely fastened.
3. Adjust Chain Length: Determine the desired hanging height for your pendant light. Use pliers to open and remove excess chain links as needed. Thread the electrical wires through the chain and the canopy.
4. Make Electrical Connections:
   • Connect the fixture's black wire to the house's black (hot) wire using a wire nut.
   • Connect the fixture's white wire to the house's white (neutral) wire using a wire nut.
   • Connect the fixture's ground wire (bare copper or green) to the house's ground wire and the mounting bracket's ground screw.
   • Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box.
5. Secure the Canopy: Push the canopy up against the ceiling, covering the junction box and mounting bracket. Secure it with the provided screws or nuts.
6. Install the Bulb: Screw an E26 base bulb into the socket. For optimal aesthetic and energy efficiency, an LED Edison-style bulb (warm white) is recommended. Do not exceed the maximum wattage rating for the fixture (refer to the label on the fixture for specific wattage).
7. Restore Power: Once installation is complete, turn the power back on at the main circuit breaker.
