Safety & Installation Instructions
Ship’s Ceiling Companionway Light
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.
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 screw driver is required.
9. To maintain the IP rating of this fitting, you must ensure that the electrical connection has suitable protection from water ingress,
housing the connection in an IP rated junction box or sealing the backplate with silicone.
10. Ensure that all electrical connections are tight, with no loose strands of wire left out of the connectors, no wires are trapped behind
or within the fitting and complete the installation, screwing the fitting to the mounting surface.
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
accidently touch the contacts). Adjust fitting only when power to the fitting is off and has been left to cool. If the electrical flex
or electrical components become damaged at any point, power to the fitting should be disconnected immediately and not
operated until the damaged parts are fixed/replaced.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Metal finishes should only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use polishes or abrasives. Glass can be cleaned by hand, using a
soft damp cloth with a diluted mild detergent (nonabrasive) or suitable glass cleaner if necessary. Switch off power to the fitting before
cleaning. Spare parts are available for this product, please contact us on the details below.
