ASSEMBLE THE NEW
FIXTURE
Unpack the fixture and verify
that it was shipped with all the
necessary parts. Organize the
components, including the canopy,the hanging hardware, etc.
Because ceiling fixtures vary great-
ly in style and construction, so do
the associated components and
the assembly process. However,
any quality lighting manufacturerwill include assembly instructions
specific to the fixture model, and
usually the job requires nothing
more than a screwdriver or
wrench. The electrical cord fixture
follows the chain, looping through
it periodically to keep the wire
and chain bundled. Remember to
thread the canopy (box cover), the
canopy’s retainer nut, the new
mounting strap (which screws into
the junction box) and any other
necessary parts over the wire and
chain before installing the fixture.
Carry the fixture to the electrical
box and use your ladder/work plat-
form combo to support the weight
of the fixture while you work.
Ultimately, the height of your hang-
ing fixture is up to you, but for the
over-the-stairs location shown, we
wanted to ensure plenty of head-
room clearance for anyone walking
beneath it. The lighting supplierQUICK FIX
