General Information and Safety Instructions: Installation Instructions and Care:

READ THIS FIRST:

Check the pack and make sure you have all of

the parts listed on the front of this booklet. If not,

contact the outlet where you bought this product.

This product contains glass, care must be taken

when assembling, ﬁ tting or handling to prevent

personal injury or damage to the product.

This light ﬁ tting 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 Regulations.

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

is your own responsibility to ensure that this ﬁ tting

is ﬁ t 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.

If in any doubt, consult a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

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 ﬁ tting 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 (bulbs) supplied with this ﬁ tting are

consumable parts and therefore may be outside of

any warranty offered.

Switch off the mains before commencing installation

and remove the appropriate circuit fuse.

When working at heights, please use a suitable

platform.

Suitable for indoor use only.

This product is suitable for installation on surfaces

with normal ﬂ ammability e.g. wood, plasterboard,

masonry. It is not suitable for use on highly

ﬂ ammable surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles).

If installing/mounting a light ﬁ tting to a plastic

ceiling, you must seek advice from the ceiling

manufacturer regarding the type and speciﬁ cation

of light ﬁ ttings that may be used. Light ﬁ ttings that

generate and retain heat such as halogen downlights

or ﬂ ush ﬁ ttings with incandescent lamps, may

damage or discolour a plastic ceiling.

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

obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface

such as pipes or cables.

The chosen location of your new ﬁ tting should

allow for the product to be securely mounted (e.g.

to a ceiling joist) and safely connected to the mains

supply (lighting circuit).

The lamp must be positioned so that there is at

least 0.5m (500mm) between the bulb and any

illuminated surface. Spotlights should be positioned

well away from curtains and beds to ensure this

distance is maintained.

Do not attach to surfaces which are damp, freshly

painted or otherwise electrically conductive (e.g.

metallic surfaces).

If the location of your new ﬁ tting 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 ﬁ xed 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

Where this product is used to replace an existing

light ﬁ tting, it will be necessary to remove any

existing ceiling rose to allow clearance for

installation.

If this is the case, carefully note the existing position

of each set of wires. Where more than a single set of

L, N and E wires exist these must be transferred to

a separate approved junction box or terminal block

(not supplied) which must be insulated and placed

within the ceiling.

Additional red wires may be present in your ceiling

that are connected to the ring live circuit. Do not

connect your ﬁ tting to these wires. If these wires are

not terminated in a ceiling rose, join them together

in a separate terminal block (not supplied) and

place in the ceiling. Where more than a single set of

L, N and E wires exist these must be transferred to

a separate approved junction box or terminal block

(not supplied) which must be insulated and placed

within the ceiling.

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 must be connected to Earth.

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 speciﬁ ed in the Wiring Regulations

(BS7671) referred to in the Building Regulations.

If in doubt, consult a qualiﬁ ed electrician.
