FAQs

Is this connector compatible with other Eterna lantern models?

The Eterna IPCONNECT is primarily designed for the Eterna HL60WH Half Lantern. While it might physically connect to other fixtures, its optimal performance and secure fit are guaranteed with the HL60WH model.

What is the maximum wattage supported by this connector?

The connector is designed to work with the Eterna HL60WH Half Lantern, which has a maximum rating of 60W. Always ensure the connected fixture does not exceed this limit.

The connector is made from high-quality, impact-resistant, and corrosion-resistant polycarbonate.

Troubleshooting

Ensure no wires or debris are obstructing the sealing mechanism. Check that the connector halves are fully aligned before snapping shut. Verify cable entry points are properly seated.

Light not turning on after installation.

Double-check all electrical connections within the IPCONNECT are secure and correctly wired according to polarity. Verify the power supply is on. Ensure the connected lantern is functional and within its wattage limit (60W max).
