Verify your wires are ready to be connected. See the Tips section for advice on how to prepare electrical wires for connecting a light.
Turn off the power in your apartment or house at the main circuit panel.
Connect the black wire from the electrical box to the black wire on the lamp. Twist the ends together clockwise using a pair of needle-nose pliers and then twist on one of the provided capped wire connectors that came with the lamp. Twist the caps clockwise as tightly as possible to ensure a firm connection between the two wires, then wrap the connector in electrical tape for added protection.

Screw the hooked metal piece that came with the lamp into the electrical box on your ceiling. There may be a similar metal piece without a hook already attached to the box by two screws. If so, unscrew this piece and replace it with the new hooked piece that came with the Foto pendant lamp. Make sure that the hook part of the metal piece extends downward toward the floor.

Tennyson, Andrew. (n.d.). How to Install an IKEA FOTO Pendant Lamp.
Three wires should be extending from a box in your ceiling at the location where you want to mount a Foto pendant lamp: a black wire, a white wire and a bare copper-colored wire. If there arent, have a certified electrician run power and mount an electrical box at the location you want to hang the lamp. Once this has been done, check with a measuring tape to ensure about 15/32 inch to a half-inch of exposed wire is available at the tips of the black and white wires. If there isnt, use wire strippers to expose that amount of wire.
