Quick answer
Install your RINATO Wall Light Long by following our step-by-step process: prepare the wiring, mount the bracket, attach the shade, and adjust the leather trim. Place it at eye level in hallways or beside mirrors for balanced illumination.
Understanding the RINATO Wall Light Long design
The RINATO Wall Light Long features an elongated signature shade and symmetrical brass metalwork, making it a statement piece. Its decorative leather strips add a personal touch but require careful handling during installation to avoid damage.
Choosing the right location
For task lighting, install the light 60–66 inches from the floor. In a hallway, space multiple units 6–8 feet apart for even illumination. Avoid placing it where the leather trim may brush against furniture or walls.
Installation steps
- Turn off power and prepare the wiring: Switch off the circuit breaker. Remove the old fixture and connect the house wires to the light's wires using wire nuts (black to black, white to white, green to ground). Double-check that the power is off with a voltage tester to avoid shock.
- Mount the bracket to the wall: Align the mounting bracket with the junction box holes. Use the provided screws and a level to ensure it is straight. Tighten securely but do not overtighten, as brass can strip. Use a level—an uneven bracket will cause the shade to hang crooked.
- Attach the shade and secure the leather trim: Slide the shade onto the bracket and fasten it with the retaining ring. Gently pull the leather strips into position without stretching them. Tighten any exposed screws by hand. Leather is delicate; handle it with clean, dry hands to avoid stains.
- Install the bulb and test the light: Insert a compatible bulb (check the fixture's wattage rating). Restore power and switch on. If the light flickers, turn off power and recheck wire connections. Use an LED bulb to reduce heat and protect the leather trim.
