This product contains glass, care must be taken when 

assembling, fitting or handling to prevent personal 

injury or damage to the product.

This light fitting must be installed by a competent 

person in accordance with the Building Regulations 

making reference to the current edition of the IEE Wiring 

Regulations (BS7671). The Building Regulations may be 

obtained from HMSO or viewed and downloaded from 

www.communities.gov.uk following the link for Building

As the buyer, installer and/or user of this product it is 

your own responsibility to ensure that this fitting is fit 

for the purpose for which you have intended it. Eterna 

Lighting cannot accept any liability for loss, damage or 

premature failure resulting from inappropriate use.

This product is designed and constructed according to 

the principles of the appropriate British Standard and 

is intended for normal domestic service. Use of this 

fitting in any other environment, for example where 

prolonged periods of use may be expected and/or 

higher than normal ambient temperatures, may result in 

a foreshortened working life.

The lamps (tubes) supplied with this fitting are 

consumable parts and therefore may be outside of any 

warranty offered.

Disconnect the fitting from the electrical supply before 

flash or high voltage testing.

Suitable for indoor use only.

This product is suitable for use in living areas, and 

Bathroom dry (Outside) Zones only (see diagram below 

and current IEE Wiring Regulations for details).  It is 

not suitable for Bathroom Zones 0, 1, 2, or other areas 

where contact with moisture is likely.  If being fitted in a 

bathroom a 30mA RCD must be used.

This product is suitable for installation on surfaces with 

normal flammability (indicated by the “F” in a triangle) 

e.g. wood, plasterboard, 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.

Do not attach to surfaces which are damp, freshly 

painted or otherwise electrically conductive (e.g. 

metallic surfaces).

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.

The cores in the mains lead are coloured in accordance 

with the following code:

Live - Brown or Red 

Neutral - Blue or Black

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. Wrap loose 

terminal blocks well with insulating tape.

This product is double insulated; do not connect either 

the Blue wire or the Brown wire to the Earth terminal.

IMPORTANT: 

Always switch off at the socket and 

remove the plug before changing the lamp.

A maximum of six fittings may be linked together in one 

chain.

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.

gap of at least 10mm between the lamp and any 

adjacent surface. See below:

02)   Select the type of brackets you need to use and 

mark off the fixing points. If fixing to a shelf or under 

a cupboard, check the screw size required and screw 

into place. (See above for clip positions).

WARNING:

The leads supplied with your light fitting and the 

sockets incorporated in your fitting are designed to give 

protection against any possible electrical hazard. The 

mains lead is terminated in a socket marked NLS and 

this lead should be used to supply mains to your fitting 

or chain of fittings. Under no circumstances should you 

attempt to adapt the link lead to supply power to the 

opposite end of your fitting as this will leave live pins 

exposed at the mains input end of the fitting. Altering 

or adapting any of the leads, other than shortening the 

mains supply lead, will invalidate your guarantee and 

could present a severe electrical shock hazard.

HOW TO LINK MULTIPLE FITTINGS 

TOGETHER:

OPTION 1 (REFER TO FIG. 1 ABOVE)

The light fittings can be butted together to form a line 

of up to a maximum of 6 fittings. Simply remove the 

connector caps and push the fittings together. Use the 

mains lead cable to connect the first fitting and the 

mains via a spur or junction box (not supplied).

OPTION 2 (REFER TO FIG. 2 ABOVE)

Connect link leads between each fitting and once all 

lights have been connected, connect the mains lead to 

the mains via a spur or junction box (not supplied).
