Specifications

Controls and Settings

This lamp is controlled solely by the wall switch it is connected to. No remote control or dimmer is included or supported.

Operation: ON/OFF via wall switch.

Note: Using a dimmer switch may cause flickering or damage to the LED bulb, as it is non-dimmable. Ensure your wall switch is a standard on/off type.

Connecting to Power

The lamp must be connected to a standard household electrical circuit via a ceiling junction box.

  1. Turn off power at the main circuit breaker.
  2. Identify wires in junction box: Live (black/brown), Neutral (white/blue), Ground (green/yellow).
  3. Connect lamp wires: Match colors using wire connectors (live to live, neutral to neutral, ground to ground).
  4. Secure connections and tuck wires neatly into the junction box.
  5. Mount the lamp base as described in Installation.

Tip: Use a voltage tester to confirm power is off before touching any wires.

Bulb Replacement

Replace the bulb only when the lamp is switched OFF and has cooled down.

  1. Allow bulb to cool: Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off.
  2. Remove glass shade: Carefully unscrew or unclip the shade (refer to assembly instructions).
  3. Replace bulb: Unscrew the old E27 bulb and screw in a new one of the same type (max 15W LED or 40W incandescent).
  4. Reattach shade: Secure the glass shade back onto the base.
  5. Test: Turn on the power to check the new bulb.

WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum wattage. Using a higher wattage bulb may cause overheating and fire hazard. We recommend using LED bulbs for energy efficiency.
