Safety & Installation Instructions
1. If you are in any doubt consult a qualified electrician as to the installation of the fitting. Install in accordance with current
IEE wiring regulations. It is recommended that this fitting is installed by a qualified electrician.
2. Ensure that the electrical supply is OFF. Disconnect the electrical supply at the fuse-board.
3. If removing an existing fitting first, note all wiring connections: record which of the house wires is connected to the live,
neutral and earth terminals.
4. Carefully identify where the supply cable is (and check there are no other cables in the area) to avoid damage to concealed
wiring during installation.
5. Position the light where desired ensuring that there is suitable support adjacent to where you will connect to the house
supply and mark position of fixing holes, before drilling appropriate holes as below.
6. a. Brick or masonry: Drill holes into which the wall plugs tightly fit, then insert wall plugs.
b. Wood: No hole necessary (unless small pilot hole required), screws can be screwed directly into the timber.
c. Plaster/Cavity: Special cavity wall fittings are required, rather than provided fixings. These are widely available from
good hardware or DIY store and should come with their own instructions that must be followed. It may be easier to
relocate the fitting so that you screw directly into a timber joist or beam.
7. Support the fitting so that no strain is applied to the wiring when making the electrical connections. If necessary get a
colleague to help.
8. Electrical connection: this light fitting must be earthed. Make connections following the diagram below using the terminal
block provided. A small flat-head screwdriver is required.
9. Double check all the connections are secure and that no loose strands of wire are left out of the connector. Ensure the lid of
the terminal block is closed securely after making the connections.
10.
Check that no wires are trapped behind or within the fitting and complete the installation, referring to the Installation
diagram inside.
11. Fit the correct type and wattage of lamp (or less). Be careful not to overtighten the lamp.
12. Switch on at the fuse-board. Your light fitting is now ready for use.
Other Important Information
Switch off at mains before changing lamp(s). Never fit a lamp of greater wattage than recommended. Ensure children do not
play with the light fitting. Dispose of old lamps carefully. Never leave a fitting without a lamp in position (or someone can
accidentally touch the contacts). Adjust fitting only when power to the fitting is off and has been left to cool. If the external
flexible cable or cord of this luminaire becomes damaged, it shall exclusively be replaced by the manufacturer or his service
agent, or similar qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard.
These instructions are provided for your safety in order to prevent the risk of Fire, Electric shock or Injury. It is vitally
important that they are read in their entirety before installing your fitting. Please retain for future reference.
