INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF HINKLEY LIGHTING FIXTURES
Hinkley Lighting warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship for one
year from date of installation. Hinkley Lighting will, at its discretion, repair or replace any properly
installed Hinkley product which fails under normal operating conditions. Please refer to Hinkley
Lighting limited one year warranty for additional details.
Proper care and maintenance of your fixture is important. Simple steps can be taken to help
maintain the finish and electrical integrity of your recently purchased Hinkley Lighting fixture.
Below are several suggestions for maintaining fixtures.
FINISH CARE
Bath and indoor fixtures should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth. Paper base cleaning materi-
als should not be used. These are too abrasive and will put scratches in the lacquer used to finish
your fixture. Over time this will dull the finish. Always use a soft cloth to clean your fixture.
To add additional protections to your fixture, a spray on furniture polish (such as Jubilee) can be
used. Spray polish on cloth than wipe onto fixture. Outdoor fixtures can be cleaned by using a mild
dish soap, (such as Dawn) and a soft cloth. This will remove any grease or dirt from the fixture.
Fixtures can be rinsed off with a garden hose.
FIXTURE MAINTENANCE
Always use recommended lamp wattages on fixtures. Using a lamp with a higher wattage than
recommended can cause overheating in outdoor and indoor fixtures. This will reduce lamp life
considerably and could be cause to VOID a warranty.
Outdoor fixtures have drain holes in the bottom of the cages. These should be cleaned out twice
a year to make sure water does not accumulate in the bottom of the fixture. Bugs and other debris
should be cleaned out.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
Glass in outdoor fixtures should be cleaned with a mild soap. Many window cleaners today have
harsh chemicals that over time can cause a finish to break down. Glass should be dried with a
soft cloth. Glass on indoor fixtures can be cleaned with any available glass cleaner. Glass must
be removed from fixture before cleaning. Use a soft cloth to dry.
Thank you for purchasing a Hinkley Lighting fixture.
