How do you release the ratchet to lower a light fixture? Do you have to be able to reach the ratchet end to lower it?

yes you do have to reach the ratchet. They are very sturdy but as by your question yes they are a bit inconvient in that way.

Or if you cant reach it swap which side the hooks are and on and the ratchet will be on your light fixture and the empty hook will be up high.

Yes, you have to be able to reach it. There is a release clip on the ratchet end. You press down and it unlocks, when it is at the height you want, you simply pull on the rope and it locks again. I looped the regular clip around a frame of my indoor garden and clipped the ratchet end to my light, that way it is always within.reach.

Yes, there is no other way to do it. Hopefully your ceiling is not higher than 8 feet.

yes, there is a tab and to release you push it towards the latch/ clip (shown in the picture, the flat thing at base of latch/clip) so that it the end that you would want to keep more accessible

yes, you have to reach the ratchet end to lower it. It has a metal tab you lift to release.

I have no problem removing the light from the mount. Are you using the release tab to slip the light off?

I just have hose clamps holding mine. But then mine is easily accessible should the attachment fail. With that in mind if you use adhesive then to fix a break or hose tear you would have to get a new fixture. I would suggest using the hose clamps first.

Oh, yes! There's a tiny switch close to the base of the light (looks clear) which you can click on, then off. You need to use your fingernail.

Mine, was connected @ flush mount fixture, although I think it could be hanged @ light fixture, honestly I don't recommend that because the chandelier it's to heavy.

Once you lower the unit, you would simply pull it open. I don't bother closing mine as it is used so frequently. The string would hang freely at one end. I put a hook on a nearby wall & hook the string there to make it safer as we have young children who might reach up and pull the string. I'm very pleased with this product overall.

Yes, because the ring that screws into the fixture clamps down the glass lamps and the mounting plate can be positioned for either up or down.

hi there all u have to do is turn the top of the ratchet head clockwise or counterclockwise to tighten the bolt or un tighten the bolt but use the required socket to complete the job

You have to pull straight out on it...it takes a ton of force to pull it off. MINE DID NOT DIM ONLY TURNED THE LAMP ON AND OFF...THE DIMMER WAS BROKE..GOOD LUCK

Hi Keemee, The lighthouse is hollow but you cannot take the light fixture off to put something below it. At least I have not found a way to remove the light fixture.

Try to push on end of the holder. If I remember correctly, it is spring loaded and with a little force should move back releasing the bulb.

A simple push down on a small lever allows the light to slide off the bracket forward

It is called a Edison base. Any light bulb with an Edison base will work. The extension will not support any weight. So for practical use it must hang downward.

start by making sure the light is unplugged and has no power running to it. at the ends of the light you will see the end caps , simultaneously twist each end either clockwise or counter clockwise and the light will come loose where you shouldbe able to slide out. Hope this helps

Yes, you should be able to shorten the length of the light, we had a different problem, we had to makeit longer and we were able to do that without a problem..You would just cut the wiring to the size you want and remove that many links...

Not sure exactly what you're asking... the base screws into place. Once it's attached, you could unscrew it and then move it to another place, but that wouldn't be easy. There is an elbow joint that easily allows the light itself to angle up or down (or side to side, depending on how you mount it) after it's been mounted.

Bulbs are extreamely heavy and do not require much of a shock to loosen or even break the socket. If you do not have the model with the glass on the bottom, I have used a piece of medium weight garden fencing cut to size. Just slide it into the track along the bottom. This will support the bulb and help stop further loosening from handling.
