5. Setup and Installation

Before you begin: Ensure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. It is recommended to have two people for installation.

Step 1: Prepare the Mounting Location

Locate the existing electrical box in your ceiling. Ensure it is securely mounted and capable of supporting the weight of the fixture. If replacing an old fixture, carefully remove it and disconnect the wiring.

Step 2: Install the Mounting Bracket

Attach the mounting bracket (usually pre-attached to the canopy) to the electrical box using the provided screws. Ensure it is flush and stable.

Step 3: Adjust Cord Length

Determine the desired hanging height for your pendant light. The cord is adjustable up to 59.1 inches (150cm). To adjust, push the cord up into the canopy or pull it down from the canopy until the desired length is achieved. Secure the cord in place within the canopy's strain relief mechanism.

Step 4: Wire the Fixture

Connect the fixture's wires to the corresponding wires from the electrical box using the provided wire nuts:

• Connect the black wire (hot) from the fixture to the black wire (hot) from the electrical box.
• Connect the white wire (neutral) from the fixture to the white wire (neutral) from the electrical box.
• Connect the ground wire (bare copper or green) from the fixture to the ground wire from the electrical box.

Ensure all connections are secure and no bare wire is exposed. Carefully tuck the wires into the electrical box.

Step 5: Mount the Canopy

Align the canopy with the mounting bracket and secure it to the ceiling using the canopy screws or nuts. Ensure the canopy is flush against the ceiling.

Step 6: Install the Bulb and Glass Shade

Screw the provided E26 bulb into the lamp socket. Carefully attach the green glass lampshade to the lamp body, ensuring it is securely fastened according to the fixture's design (typically by screwing it onto the socket assembly or using retaining rings).

6. Operating Instructions

Once installation is complete and verified, restore power at the circuit breaker. The light can be operated using a standard wall switch. If you are using a dimmable E26 bulb and a compatible dimmable wall switch, you can adjust the light intensity as desired.

Note: The fixture itself is not dimmable. Dimmable functionality depends on the bulb and switch used.

7. Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the fixture, ensure the power is turned off and the light has cooled down. Wipe the metal parts with a soft, dry cloth. For the glass shade, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the bulb, turn off the power at the circuit breaker and allow the bulb to cool. Carefully unscrew the old E26 bulb and replace it with a new E26 base bulb, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum wattage of 40W. Hand-tighten the bulb gently.
