Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Ensure Safety: Always turn off the power to your existing light fitting at the main circuit breaker before starting any installation.
- Unpack Components: Carefully unpack the MiniSun Pendant Drum Light Shade and the included bulb.
- Locate Existing Fitting: Identify your existing light socket on the ceiling flex. This shade is designed for BC B22 (Bayonet Cap) type fittings.
- Attach the Shade: Carefully align the shade with your existing light socket. Most fittings require securing the shade with a shade ring that screws into place or by twisting the shade until it's firmly seated. Ensure it feels secure and stable.
- Install the Bulb: Screw the included 10W BC B22 GLS LED bulb into the light socket until snug. Avoid overtightening.
- Restore Power: Once the shade and bulb are securely in place, restore power at the main circuit breaker.
- Test: Turn on your light switch to enjoy your newly updated lighting.
Compatibility
This shade is compatible with standard BC B22 (Bayonet Cap) light sockets and requires an existing ceiling rose and flex setup. It is designed to be an easy replacement for existing pendant light shades.
Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your light shade:
- Cleaning: Ensure the power is off before cleaning. Gently wipe the shade with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or materials.
- Bulb Replacement: When replacing the bulb (after its lifespan), always ensure the power is off. Use a BC B22 bulb that fits the shade and adheres to your existing light fitting's maximum wattage recommendation.
