The chandelier is operated via a standard wall switch (not included). Ensure the switch is in the 'ON' position for the fixture to receive power.
Dimmable Functionality
This fixture is fully dimmable when used with dimmable E26 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch (both sold separately). Install a compatible dimmer switch in place of your standard wall switch to utilize this feature. Follow the dimmer switch manufacturer's instructions for installation and operation.
