How to Install the LIFX Industrial Ceiling Pendant in 5 Steps

Quick answer

Install the LIFX Industrial Ceiling Pendant by turning off power, mounting the bracket, wiring the fixture, attaching the shade, and restoring power. Choose hardwired or plug-in based on your ceiling and outlet access.

5-step installation guide

1. Turn off power: Switch off the circuit breaker that controls the ceiling light. Use a voltage tester to confirm no power is flowing. Never skip the voltage test—even if the switch is off, wiring can still be live.
2. Mount the bracket: Attach the mounting plate to the ceiling electrical box using the provided screws. Ensure it's snug and level. Check that the bracket is centered over the box to avoid a crooked pendant.
3. Wire the fixture: Connect the pendant's wires to the house wiring: black to black, white to white, and ground to ground. Use wire nuts and wrap with electrical tape. Match the wire colors exactly; reversing hot and neutral can create a shock hazard.
4. Attach the shade and bulb: Screw in your LIFX smart bulb (E26 base) and secure the shade onto the socket. Ensure it's finger-tight, not over-tightened. Over-tightening can crack the shade—stop when it's snug.
5. Restore power and test: Turn the breaker back on and flip the switch. The light should turn on; if using a smart bulb, pair it with the LIFX app. If the light doesn't turn on, immediately turn off power and re-check your wire connections.
