Assembly Instructions

Assemble the light fixture before mounting it to the wall or ceiling.

  1. Attach the flexible arm to the spotlight head if not pre-assembled (usually threaded connection).
  2. Feed the electrical wires from the ceiling/wall cable through the mounting bracket and then through the base of the flexible arm.
  3. Connect the fixture wires to the household wiring: Live (brown/black) to Live, Neutral (blue/white) to Neutral, and Earth (green/yellow) to Earth (if present). Use appropriate wire connectors.
  4. Secure the wire connections inside the mounting bracket or base.
  5. Attach the spotlight assembly (arm and head) to the mounting bracket as per design (may screw or clip into place).

CAUTION! Ensure all electrical connections are tight and insulated. Do not pinch wires.

Installation

Mount the assembled fixture to your desired location.

  1. Turn OFF power at the main circuit breaker.
  2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling/wall at the desired location. Mark the screw holes.
  3. Drill holes at the marks and insert the supplied wall plugs (if mounting into drywall or masonry).
  4. Secure the mounting bracket to the surface using the provided screws.
  5. Complete the electrical connection as described in the Assembly section (Step 3).
  6. Once connected, tuck wires neatly into the bracket and attach the spotlight assembly to the bracket.
  7. Install the appropriate E27 bulb (not included).
  8. Restore power and test the light.

Tip: For ceiling installation, ensure the electrical box is rated to support the fixture's weight.

Operation & Adjustment

Once installed, the spotlight is ready for use.

  1. Turn the light on/off using your wall switch.
  2. To adjust the light direction: Gently bend the flexible gooseneck arm to position the spotlight head. The arm will hold its position.
  3. Fine-tune the beam by rotating and tilting the spotlight head itself.

Note: Avoid excessive or sharp bending of the flexible arm, as this may damage it over time.

Bulb Replacement

Replace the bulb when it burns out.

  1. Turn OFF the light switch and allow the old bulb to cool completely.
  2. Gently grip the bulb and turn it counterclockwise to unscrew it from the E27 socket.
  3. Insert a new E27 bulb of the correct type and wattage (see socket label for max wattage, e.g., Max 60W).
  4. Screw the new bulb in clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.
  5. Turn the power back on to test.

WARNING! Never use a bulb with a higher wattage than specified, as it may cause overheating and fire.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug/turn off power before cleaning.

  1. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the spotlight and arm.
  2. Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, or scouring pads.
  3. For the shade/head, dust gently. Avoid getting moisture inside the fixture or socket.

CAUTION! Do not immerse any part of the fixture in water or other liquids.
