Troubleshooting

Pendant light does not turn on.

Check that the power supply is on and that the bulb is securely screwed in. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure all wiring connections are secure.

Rise and fall mechanism is stiff or not smooth.

Ensure the cable is not snagged or twisted. Check that the counterweight is correctly installed and aligned. Make sure there are no obstructions along the path of the pendant or cable.

Light flickers intermittently.

This could be due to a loose bulb or a faulty connection. Try tightening the bulb. If using a dimmer switch, ensure bulb compatibility and check the dimmer itself for proper function.

Copper finish appears tarnished or dull.

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant tarnishing, use a dedicated copper cleaner sparingly, following the product instructions, and then buff with a soft cloth.
