Using your Access Lighting Pearl Pendant is a breeze. First, find a suitable ceiling location in your room. Make sure the ceiling can support the weight of the pendant. Then, install the pendant following the included instructions. You'll need to buy an A - 19 type lamp with an E - 26 base, rated at 60 W and 120v. Once installed, you can use the TRIAC dimmer to adjust the light brightness according to your needs. For cleaning, gently wipe the glass shade with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the glass. This pendant is rated for damp locations, but don't expose it to excessive moisture. Keep it away from water splashes to prevent damage. If you notice any issues with the lighting or the dimmer, contact customer service for help.
