Product Overview
The Hinkley 10W Mini Pendant is a versatile lighting fixture designed for indoor use. It features an adjustable stem system for height customization and a flexible shade assembly that allows for precise light direction.
Installation and Mounting
Before beginning, ensure the power supply is turned off. Select a clear workspace and unpack all components. The fixture uses a mounting strap (B) attached to the junction box (J). Secure the mounting plate to the junction box, then adjust the mounting screws (A) so they extend past the canopy. Once the fixture is positioned, secure it using the barrel knobs (D).
Shade Adjustment
The fixture is designed for flexibility. The shades and socket assembly at the end of the arm can rotate 330 degrees and tilt up and down 180 degrees, allowing you to focus light exactly where needed.
Wiring and Grounding
Proper electrical connection is critical for safety. Connect the positive supply wire (A) to the positive fixture lead (B) and the negative supply wire (C) to the negative fixture lead (D) using appropriately sized twist-on connectors. For grounding, connect the fixture ground wire (E) to the mounting strap (M) using the provided ground screw (S). If installing in a 3-wire system, ensure the ground wire is securely fastened to the building's grounding system.
Safety Information
Always turn off the power supply before starting any installation work. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or local code requirements, consult a qualified electrician. For outdoor installations, ensure all connectors are sealed with silicone sealant to maintain a watertight connection.
