The Globe 1-Light Wall Sconce is a versatile lighting solution designed to provide both functional and aesthetic appeal to your living space. This fixture offers the flexibility of two installation methods: a convenient plug-in setup or a permanent hardwired connection. Its matte brass finish and adjustable design make it a perfect addition to various interior styles.
Safety Information
Safety is paramount when dealing with electrical installations. Always ensure the power is completely turned off at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning any work. Do not rely solely on a wall switch to prevent electrical shock. If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, it is highly recommended to consult a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local building and electrical codes.
Installation Methods
The fixture comes with all necessary hardware for both installation types. For the plug-in method, you can mount the back plate directly to the wall and adjust the cord length as needed. Ensure the cord is handled carefully, specifically when re-attaching the plug, by aligning the ribbed side of the wire with the wider blade of the plug to maintain proper polarity.
For hardwire installation, the cord must be removed from the fixture. This involves disconnecting the internal wiring, removing the cord through the canopy hole, and installing the provided mounting bracket. Proper wire connections are essential: connect the ground wire to the green screw, the white wire to the neutral wire, and the black wire to the live wire using the provided wire connectors. Secure all connections with electrical tape for added safety.
Maintenance and Care
To keep your wall sconce in optimal condition, clean it periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Regularly check that all mounting screws and connections remain tight. If the fixture fails to operate, verify that the bulb is properly installed and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. The fixture is designed for use with a medium (E26) base bulb, with a maximum wattage of 60W.
