Troubleshooting

Pendant light does not illuminate.

Ensure the circuit breaker is on and the bulb is correctly installed and functional. Check all wiring connections if comfortable, or consult a qualified electrician.

Rise and fall mechanism is stiff or not moving smoothly.

Check for any obstructions or tangles in the cord or weight system. Ensure the pendant is hanging freely without hitting walls or furniture. Gently wipe the cord and mechanism with a dry cloth.

Light flickers when on.

This may indicate a loose bulb connection or an issue with the bulb itself. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new, compatible bulb. If flickering persists, consult an electrician.
