transformer by LIGHTECH rated at 175 Watts, allowing for a 20 Watt maximum per bulb.
If you are planning to use a dimmer with this fixture, we recommend using a Lutron ELV

the fixture is not working or has created a short, disconnect the power to the fixture and the
transformer will reset itself.

Fixture Cable Length Adjustment (Diagram 2)
This low-voltage pendant cannot be lengthened in the field.
Due to the nature of this support system, fixtures requiring
longer support cables will have to be special ordered.
This fixture is supported by two separate cables connected
to the fixture at the finished cable holder (E). The vertical
cable can be shortened.
1. Locate the nut (F) at the bottom of the cable holder.
Take the weight off the fixture and unscrew the nut (F).
2. Pull the vertical cable (G) down to reveal the cable
guide (H). Pull enough cable through the guide to
correct the height. Cut the support cable off to the
correct length.
3. Pull the vertical cable (G) back up into place.
4. Screw the cable holder nut (F) back in place.
