Maintenance Tips

• Regular Dusting
  Gently dust the lamp's surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation.

• Gentle Cleaning
  For greasy spots, use a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water (below 122°F/50°C) and a mild detergent. Avoid scouring powders or similar substances, as they can scratch surfaces.

• Avoid Abrasive Cleaners
  Never use detergents containing abrasives or solvents, as they can damage the lamp's finish.

• Dry After Cleaning
  After cleaning with a damp cloth, ensure the lamp is thoroughly dried with a soft, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.

• Use Appropriate Bulbs
  The PH 5-4½ is designed for a 22W LED/A-21 medium base bulb (E27), while the PH 6½-6 accommodates E27/E40 bulbs. Using the correct bulb type ensures optimal light quality and prevents potential damage.

• Inspect Mounting Surface
  Periodically check that the ceiling can support the luminaire's weight. Ensure the lamp is mounted securely to prevent any hazards.

• Professional Installation
  Consult a qualified electrician to ensure correct branch circuit conductor and adherence to local codes and jurisdiction.
