Wayfair 1405-1W Moshannon 1-Light Dimmable Armed Sconce Installation Guide

Important Safety Information

Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply is shut off at the fuse or circuit breaker. All installation work should be performed by an accredited professional. Do not exceed the maximum wattage specified for the bulbs.

Preparing for Installation

Carefully remove the fixture from the carton and locate the yellow bag containing all parts. Remove the old fixture from the wall, including the old mounting strap.

1. Identify the mounting strap (B) and find the pair of holes that match the spacing on your junction box.
2. Ensure the two mounting screws (A) are attached to the mounting strap (B). Tighten the nuts (C) if necessary to hold them in place.
3. Pull the house wires through the center of the mounting strap (B).
4. Secure the mounting strap (B) to the junction box using the mounting screws (D) and a screwdriver.

Connecting the Wires

Have an assistant support the fixture's weight while you complete the wiring. Refer to the wiring diagram to ensure correct connections:

• Hot Wire: Connect the fixture's smooth, black, or transparent wire with black inner thread to the house's hot wire.
• Neutral Wire: Connect the fixture's ribbed, white, or transparent wire with white inner thread to the house's neutral wire.
• Ground Wire: Connect the fixture's copper, bare metal, green, or transparent wire with green inner thread to the house's ground wire.

Twist the ends of the wire pairs together and secure them with a wire connector. Ensure all twists are in the same direction. If there is no house ground wire, wrap the fixture's ground wire around the ground screw (E) on the mounting strap and tighten.

Finishing the Installation

1. Place the backplate (F) over the mounting screws (A) so they protrude through the holes.
2. Thread the deco nuts (G) onto the mounting screws (A) and tighten until the backplate is snug against the wall.
3. Slide the spider (K) into the glass shade (I) until it stops.
4. Hold the spider and shade over the socket (H) and secure them in place with the socket cover (L).
5. Install the light bulb according to the fixture's specifications.
6. Turn on the power and test the fixture.

Lighting Placement Guidelines

For optimal lighting, consider the following placement recommendations:

• Kitchen Islands: Center a linear pendant over the island. Use one pendant for every 24 inches of island length. Fixtures should hang at least 30 inches above the countertop.
• Dining Tables: Fixtures should hang at least 30 inches above the table. Use a fixture that is 12 inches narrower than the width of the table.
• Open Areas: The bottom of the fixture should hang at least 7.5 feet from the floor, allowing clearance for any opening doors.
