it. Eterna Lighting cannot accept any liability for 

loss, damage or premature failure resulting from

The lamps (bulbs/tubes) supplied with this fitting are

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

This product is suitable for installation on surfaces 

with normal flammability e.g. wood, plasterboard, 

and masonry.  It is not suitable for use on highly 

flammable surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles). 

Before making fixing hole(s), check that there are no 

obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface 

such as pipes or cables.

The chosen location of your new fitting should allow 

for the product to be securely mounted and safely 

connected to the mains supply (lighting circuit).

When choosing the location for your new fitting, 

ensure that the fixings will be anchored in a solid 

surface e.g. concrete, brick or a joist—do not fix 

directly onto panelling, cladding, plasterboard etc.

If the location of your new fitting requires the 

provision of a new electrical supply, the supply 

must conform with the requirements of the Building 

Regulations making reference to the current edition 

of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671).

This product is designed for permanent connection 

to fixed wiring: this should be either a suitable 

lighting circuit (protected with a 5 or 6 Amp MCB or 

fuse) or a fused spur (with a 3 Amp fuse) via a fused 

connection unit.

We recommend that the supply incorporates a 

switch for ease of operation.

Make connections to the electrical supply in 

accordance with the following code:

Live - Brown or Red 

Neutral - Blue or Black 

Earth - Green and Yellow

When making connections, ensure that the terminals 

are tightened securely and that no strands of wire 

protrude. Check that the terminals are tightened 

onto the bared conductors and not onto any 

insulation.

This product must be connected to Earth.

IMPORTANT: 

Always switch off at the mains before 

changing the lamp.

You are advised at every stage of your installation to 

double-check any electrical connections you have 

made. After you have completed your installation 

there are electrical tests that should be carried out: 

these tests are specified in the Wiring Regulations 

(BS7671) referred to in the Building Regulations.
