Asteria Long Monochrome Wall Lamp: Installation Tips

Quick Answer

To install the Asteria Long Monochrome wall lamp, first turn off power at the circuit breaker, then mount the bracket securely to the wall, connect the wires, and attach the lamp head. The lamp's adjustable arm and dimmable button require careful alignment during installation.

Installation Steps

1. 1. Turn Off Power and Prepare Tools: Switch off the circuit breaker for the room where you'll install the lamp. Use a voltage tester to confirm no power is flowing. Gather a screwdriver, drill, level, pencil, wire strippers, and wall anchors if needed. Never rely on the wall switch alone — always cut power at the breaker.
2. 2. Mark and Drill Mounting Holes: Hold the mounting bracket against the wall at your desired height (typically 60–66 inches from the floor). Use a level to ensure it's straight, then mark the screw holes through the bracket. Drill pilot holes and insert wall anchors if you're not drilling into a stud. Double-check the level before drilling — a crooked bracket will make the long arm look off-center.
3. 3. Secure the Mounting Bracket: Attach the bracket to the wall using the provided screws. Tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could strip the drywall or plaster. If the bracket feels loose, use larger anchors or move to a stud location.
4. 4. Connect the Wires: Match the lamp wires to the house wires: black (hot) to black, white (neutral) to white, and green or bare copper (ground) to the ground wire or bracket grounding screw. Use wire nuts and wrap with electrical tape for a secure connection. Make sure no bare wire is exposed outside the wire nut — this prevents short circuits.
5. 5. Attach the Lamp Head and Adjust: Gently fit the lamp head onto the bracket and secure it with the provided screws. The Asteria Long's arm should move freely from side to side. Test the dimmable button to ensure it's responsive. If the arm feels stiff, loosen the adjustment screw slightly — do not force it.
6. 6. Restore Power and Test: Turn the circuit breaker back on. Use the dimmable button to cycle through brightness levels and verify the arm's range of motion. If the lamp flickers, turn off power and check wire connections. Flickering usually means a loose wire connection — recheck step 4.
