Safety & Installation Instructions
These instructions are provided for your safety in order to prevent the risk of Fire, Electric shock or Injury. It is vitally
important that they are read in their entirety before installing your fitting. Please retain for future reference.
1. If you are in any doubt consult a qualified electrician as to the installation of the fitting. Install in accordance with current
IEE wiring regulations. It is recommended that this fitting is installed by a qualified electrician.
2. Ensure that the electrical supply is OFF. Disconnect the electrical supply at the fuse-board.
3. If removing an existing fitting first, note all wiring connections: record which of the house wires is connected to the live,
neutral and earth terminals.
4. Carefully identify where the supply cable is (and check there are no other cables in the area) to avoid damage to concealed
wiring during installation.
5. Position the light where desired ensuring that there is suitable support adjacent to where you will connect to the house
supply and mark position of fixing holes, before drilling appropriate holes as below.
6. a. Brick or masonry: Drill holes into which the wall plugs tightly fit, then insert wall plugs.
b. Wood: No hole necessary (unless small pilot hole required), screws can be screwed directly into the timber.
c. Plaster/Cavity: Special cavity wall fittings are required, rather than provided fixings. These are widely available from
good hardware or DIY store and should come with their own instructions that must be followed. It may be easier to
relocate the fitting so that you screw directly into a timber joist or beam.
7. Support the fitting so that no strain is applied to the wiring when making the electrical connections. If necessary get a
colleague to help.
8. Electrical connection: This fitting must be wired into a 12V AC Low Voltage Halogen Transformer, min 20VA, which is not
supplied. Ensure you follow the instructions supplied with your chosen transformer. Having connected the lampholder to the
transformer, connect the live conductor (normally brown) of your main supply to the live terminal of the transformer.
Connect the neutral conductor of your house wiring (normally blue) to the neutral terminal of the transformer. There is no
terminal block supplied, suitable terminal blocks must be used to make connection. The transformer and connections should
be housed inside a suitable enclosure for the installation.
Check that no wires are trapped behind, or within the fitting and complete the installation, screwing the fitting to the wall.
9.
10. Fit the correct type and wattage of lamp (or less).
11. Switch on at the fuse-board. Your light fitting is now ready for use.
Other Important Information
Switch off at mains before changing lamp(s). Never fit a lamp of greater wattage than recommended. Ensure children do not
play with the light fitting. Dispose of old lamps carefully. Never leave a fitting without a lamp in position (or someone can
accidently touch the contacts). Adjust fitting only when power to the fitting is off and has been left to cool. If the electrical flex
or electrical components become damaged at any point, power to the fitting should be disconnected immediately and not
operated until the damaged parts are fixed/replaced. This fitting must be connected to a 12V AC low voltage halogen
transformer, min 20VA, within 3m of the fitting. No terminal blocks are supplied; installation should be performed by a suitably
qualified person. Connections should be made in a suitable enclosure.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Metal finishes should only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use polishes or abrasives. Switch off power to the fitting
before cleaning.
