Adjusting the hanging length of your Progress Lighting P400323 Laila 4-Light Vintage Brass Coastal Chandelier is essential for proper installation. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Determine Hanging Length: Begin by deciding the desired length. You can remove chain links (GG) to shorten the fixture. Before cutting any wires, make sure to finalize the length.
- Wire Length: Ensure at least 6 inches of electrical wire extends past the chain holder (EE). This provides ample length for making connections.
- Attach Chain to Fixture: Open a chain link (GG) and attach it to the chandelier (A). Securely close the chain link with pliers.
- Connect Chain and Chain Holder: Open the quick link (JJ). Attach the other end of the chain (GG) and the chain holder (EE) to the quick link, then tighten it.
- Thread Wires Through Chain: Pass the electrical wires through the chandelier (A) and weave them through every third chain link (GG).
- Pass Wires and Chain Through Collar and Canopy: Continue threading the wires and chain through the collar (DD) and the canopy (HH).
- Wire Connections: Strip 3/8" of insulation from the electrical wire ends. Use wire nuts (BB) to connect the ribbed fixture wire to the white supply wire and the smooth fixture wire to the black supply wire.
- Grounding: Connect the fixture ground wire and the supply ground wire. This can be done with a wire nut or by attaching them to the ground on the mounting strap.
- Tuck Wires and Position Canopy: Carefully tuck the wires into the junction box. Then, slide the canopy (HH) over the chain holder.
- Secure Canopy: Thread the collar (DD) onto the chain holder to secure the canopy tightly against the ceiling.
Following these steps will allow you to customize the hanging length of your Laila chandelier for a perfect fit.
