GENERAL
1. To ensure successful installation, the following instructions and diagram(s) should
be read and understood.
2. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the National Electric
code and local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain how to install electrical
wiring and lighting fixtures, secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
TOOLS NEEDED
Blade screwdriver, phillips screwdriver, slip joint pliers or small adjustable wrench,
wire cutter/stripper, electrical current tester, stepladder and electrical tape.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. TURN OFF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO WHICH THE LIGHTING
FIXTURE IS TO BE ATTACHED. Move the appropriate circuit breaker to the “off
position or completely remove the fuse controlling the circuit.
2. If an existing fixture is being replaced, remove it and note to which of the wires
in the outlet box the fixture was attached. DO NOT SEPARATE ANY OTHER
WIRES THAT MAY BE IN THE BOX. DO NOT DAMAGE THE INSULATION OF
OLDER WIRING. In regular circumstances the BLACK wire will be the “Hot” lead
and the WHITE wire will be the “Neutral” or “Common” lead. A GREEN or BARE
COPPER wire is the “Ground”. In older buildings it is always good practice to
reconfirm the polarity of the wiring.
3. This fixture is designed to be mounted on a standard round or octagon box. The
box must be securely mounted to the structure of the building.
FIXTURE INSTALLATION
1. Remove the fixture, shades and parts bag(s) from the carton. Before discarding
the carton, double-check packing to make certain that all parts are found.
2. Assemble the center column and loop assembly to the fixture body.
3. Attach the crossbar, nipple, and screwcollar loop to the outlet box. (The green
screw should face the floor).
4. Thread wire through the ring and then canopy and let canopy slide down chain.
5. Open the end links of the chain and attach the chain to the loop. Close the
top link of the chain. Hang the fixture on the chain at the desired height. Remove
the excess chain. Close the bottom link of the chain.
6. Measure 6” of lead wire beyond the end of the chain. Cut off excess wire. Strip
the insulation off the ends of the leads exposing approx. ½” of wire. Twist the
strands of wire together. Push the leads and ground wire up through the screw
collar loop and nipple and into the outlet box.
7. Fasten the green fixture wire to the green or bare copper wire in the box or
fasten it to the mounting plate with green screw provided.
NEVER FASTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO THE BLACK OR “HOT” WIRE!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH!
8
. Fasten the white fixture wire to the white wire in the outlet box. Fasten the wires
together with an approved fastener (wire nut). Starting about 1” below the fastener,
tightly wrap connection with electrical tape so that the tape seals the end of the
fastener. Make sure that there is no exposed wire or strands that could cause a
dangerous short circuit !
9. Connect the black fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet box.
Fasten the joined wires as in step 5.
10. Slide the canopy and screwcollar ring up the chain and secure the canopy to
the ceiling.
11. Place the crystal bobeche onto the socket sleeve, then put on the shade.
12. Twist the tails onto the bottom of the fixture.
13. Install the lamp(s) light bulb(s).
NOTE: This fixture is rated for 60 watt type B or
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WATTAGE !
14. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
NOTE: The important safeguards and instructions outlined on this sheet are not
meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood that common sense, caution and care are factors that cannot be built
into any product. Caution and care must be supplied by the person(s) installing,
