-
Dry thoroughly: After cleaning, dry all surfaces completely to help preserve the finish and reduce water spots.

Use correct bulbs: Install compatible medium‑base (E26) bulbs up to ~100 W equivalent (LED or incandescent); always turn off power before replacing bulbs.

Clear debris & moisture: Keep the glass panels free of insects, leaves, and buildup to maintain even light output.

Seasonal inspection: At least twice a year, check wiring, seals, and finish condition — especially after harsh weather — to support long‑lasting outdoor performance in wet locations.
