Proper care and maintenance of your fixture is important. Simple steps can be taken to help maintain the finish and electrical integrity of your Hinkley Lighting fixture. Below are several suggestions for maintaining fixtures.

FINISH CARE
Bath and indoor fixtures should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth. Paper base cleaning materials should not be used. These are too abrasive and will put scratches in the lacquer used to finish your fixture. Over time this will dull the finish. Always use a soft cloth to clean your fixture.

To add additional protection to your fixture, a spray on furniture polish (such as Jubilee) can be used. Spray polish on cloth then wipe onto fixture.

Outdoors fixture can be cleaned by using a mild dish soap (such as dawn) and a soft cloth. This will remove any grease or dirt from the fixture. Fixtures can be rinsed off with a garden hose.

FIXTURE MAINTENANCE
Always use recommended lamp wattages on fixtures. Using a lamp with a higher wattage than recommended can cause over-heating in outdoor and indoor fixtures. This will reduce lamp life considerably, and could be cause to VOID warranty.

Outdoor fixtures have drain holes in the bottom of the cages. These should be cleaned out twice a year to make sure water does not accumulate in the bottom of the fixture. Bugs and other debris should be cleaned out also.
