Setup and Installation
Tools Required: Screwdriver, drill, pencil, measuring tape, wire strippers (if not pre-stripped).

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your wall light:
- Cleaning: Always disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure the power is off and the bulb has cooled completely before attempting to replace it. Gently twist and pull out the old GU10 bulb. Insert a new GU10 LED bulb (max 7W) by aligning the pins and twisting it into the socket until secure.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections, frayed wires, or physical damage to the fixture. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your wall light, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on | No power supply to the fixture | Check the circuit breaker and ensure the wall switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify power at the fixture with a voltage tester. |
| Light bulb is not working | Faulty or expired bulb | Disconnect power, allow the bulb to cool, and replace the GU10 LED bulb with a new one. |
| Light flickers or dims | Loose wiring connection or incompatible dimmer switch | Disconnect power and check all electrical connections. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with LED lighting. |
| Fixture is hot to the touch | Overwattage bulb or poor ventilation | Ensure only a 7W GU10 LED bulb is used. LED bulbs generate less heat, but excessive heat could indicate an electrical issue. Disconnect power and consult an electrician. |
