Assembly Instructions

Assemble the lamp before mounting to the wall.

  2. Connect socket: Thread the wires from the E14 socket (D) through the lamp arm. Attach the socket to the end of the arm by twisting it clockwise until firm.
  3. Attach shade: Place the lamp shade (C) over the socket. Align the notches and twist gently clockwise to lock in place.
  4. Check mobility: Ensure the arm moves smoothly for adjustment.

CAUTION! Do not overtighten screws to avoid damaging threads.

Wall Installation

Choose a suitable location near a power source.

  1. Turn OFF power at the circuit breaker.
  2. Hold the wall bracket (A) against the wall in the desired position. Use a level to ensure it is straight.
  3. Mark the screw holes with a pencil.
  4. Drill holes at the marks using a drill bit suitable for your wall (use wall plugs for solid walls).
  5. Align the bracket with the holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws.
  6. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached and does not wobble.

Electrical Connection

WARNING! Electricity can kill. If unsure, hire a qualified electrician.

  1. From your wall, you should have two wires: Live (Brown/Black) and Neutral (Blue). There may also be a ground wire (Green/Yellow).
  2. Connect the lamp wires to the wall wires:
    • Lamp Brown wire → Wall Live wire
    • Lamp Blue wire → Wall Neutral wire
    • If present, connect the Green/Yellow ground wire to the grounding terminal on the bracket.
  3. Use wire connectors (not included) to secure connections. Ensure no bare wire is exposed.
  4. Tuck all wires neatly into the wall box behind the bracket.
  5. Snap the decorative cover cap (F) over the bracket to conceal the connections.

Operation & Adjustment

Once installed and powered:

  1. Turn power back ON at the circuit breaker.
  2. Install a suitable E14 bulb (max 40W LED recommended).
  3. Use the wall switch to turn the lamp ON/OFF.
  4. Adjustment: Gently move the lamp arm up/down and side-to-side to direct light as desired. The joint is designed for smooth positioning.

Tip: For ambient lighting, angle the shade away from direct eye line.

Bulb Specifications

WARNING! Using a bulb with higher wattage than recommended may cause overheating and fire.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Turn OFF and let the bulb cool before cleaning.
  2. Clean the shade and arm with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth.
  3. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or water sprays.
