Assembly Instructions

1. Preparing for installation.

A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of this fixture.
B. Place one set of “#8-32 x 1-1/2” screws (9) to distance for canopy mounting with screws

facing down. Measure distance of canopy. Attach gem bar (10) to junction box (not provided)
in position shown with “#8-32 x 1-1/2” screws (8) provided.

C. Feed cord through glass diffuser (1), cone (2) and decorative finial (3). (DO NOT tighten

decorative finial until you are ready for final installation)

2. Wiring

All wiring must take place inside junction box. Caution: Make sure power is

off at fuse or circuit breaker box. Check power wires for damage or scrapes. If power
supply wires are within three inches of ballast use wire suitable for at least 90C (194F).
Note: Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated to 60C. Consult a
qualified electrician before installing.

A. Feed cord (4) through strain relief (7) and center hole in canopy (6).
B. Connect the green ground pig-tail wire attached to the canopy (6) to the supply ground wire

and secure with a wire nut (11).

C. To modify cord length, unscrew strain relief (7) cover from canopy (6). Pull cord (4) through

canopy to desired length. Secure cord by re-attaching strain relief cover.

D. Determine desired cord (4) length for fixture.
E. Once desired mounting length is determined, cut cord allowing for 6 inches of wire for

junction box wiring. Carefully remove outer insulation from cord without damaging lead
wires. Strip lead wires back 3/8 inch for wire nut connections. WARNING: Inspect modified
cord and wires for any damaged insulation.

F. Using wire connectors (11) provided, connect white (Common/Neutral) supply wire to one

clear fixture lead. Connect black (Hot/Incoming) supply wire to the other clear fixture lead.
Pull on each wire lead to make sure connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires are exposed
outside of wire connectors.

B. Install 20-watt dimmable self-ballasted compact fluorescent spiral lamp (14) (provided) into socket (13) by inserting pins into holder

and twist until it snaps in place.
