Electrical Connection

Connecting the low-voltage system.

Ensure the mains power is OFF.
If the transformer is separate, connect its input wires (L, N, Earth) to your household mains supply according to local regulations. This may require a junction box.
Connect the low-voltage output wires from the transformer to the wires of the E14 bulb socket (observe polarity if specified).
Secure all connections with wire nuts or terminal blocks and insulate properly.
Place the transformer in a suitable, ventilated location (e.g., inside a wall cavity if permitted and safe).
Screw the recommended bulb (e.g., 7W LED E14) into the socket. Do not overtighten.
Attach the lamp shade, ensuring it does not touch the bulb.

Tip: Test the lamp by turning on the power before finalizing the shade installation.

Operation

Turning On/Off: Use the wall switch connected to the mains power circuit. The lamp does not have a built-in switch.
Light Output: Provides ambient, decorative light. Not intended for task lighting.
Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is OFF. Allow bulb to cool. Unscrew old bulb and replace with an identical type (max 7W LED, E14 base).

CAUTION! Never touch the bulb with bare hands when it is hot.

Care & Maintenance

To clean and maintain your lamp.

Always switch off power and let the bulb cool completely.
