Prepare the fitting for installation- consulting the instructions and diagrams on the inside page. Once desired drop of
pendant is established, the cable length may be shortened. If cable is desired length already, then skip to instruction
point number 3.
To shorten cable:-
a. Establish required length of cable (ensuring there is some slack) before using wire cutters to cut.
b. Remove the outer insulation from the last 6” of the end of the cable, then remove the last 1/4” of inner sleeving
from both cables to expose the wire.
c. Make sure that when stripping the outer cable no damage occurs to the interior cable.
This fitting should be installed on a 4” junction box (not supplied).
Open your existing junction box (if you do not have one in the desired position you will need to get an electrician to
install one). If removing an existing fitting first, note all wiring connections: record which of the house wires is
connected to the live, neutral and earth (ground) terminals.
Attach the fixing plate to your junction box using the two existing bolts.
In your junction box there should be two supply wires and one ground wire. Connect your new lamp to the electrical
supply using UL approved wire nuts. Connect the live (hot) black wire from the power supply to the black conductor on
the luminaire cable, then the white (neutral) wire to the white conductor on the luminaire cable and bare copper or
green/yellow ground wire should be terminated inside the junction box (do not connect to fitting).
Support the fitting so that no strain is applied to the wiring when making the electrical connections. If necessary get a
colleague to help.
See hanging instructions inside to complete the installation.
Fit the correct type and wattage of lamp (or less). Be careful not to overtighten the lamp.
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 accidentally 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. For use in dry, indoor environment only. Ensure
the fitting does not come into contact with any liquids.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Metal finishes should only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use polishes or abrasives. Glass can be cleaned using
a suitable glass cleaner and soft cloth. Switch off the power to the fitting before cleaning.

The Conical Rise and Fall is a traditionally inspired light with a modern twist. Rise & fall pendants

Refer to diagrams on opposite page.
STEP 1
- Determine the maximum drop (the lowest the shade will hang from the ceiling) and total movement (rise and
fall) of the shade required (see fig.1). Remember: the larger the maximum drop, the larger the minimum drop
(the highest the shade will hang without the weight hitting the shade) and vice versa.
- The drop can be controlled by shortening or lengthening the amount of flex (D) that is allowed to pass though
the cord grip (E) (see fig.2). Once you are happy with drop, allow 6” from cord grip (E) in order to make
electrical connection, then remove excess flex using wire cutters.
STEP 2
- Make electrical connection- see point 6 on the reverse.
STEP 3
Screw ceiling plate to ceiling box with washers (G) in place (see fig. 3), taking care not to apply excessive
force when screwing in screws as this can damage the china ceiling rose. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS.
To adjust drop of shade (see fig.4), gently pull the shade (J) downwards (while also holding the flex above the
shade) to increase the drop and push gently upwards (taking care not to hit the weight (I) as it falls) to
decrease the drop.
