Wiring the Miniature Chandelier
Before wiring your chandelier, check that your pre wired light bulb fitting is in working order. When you get a light to light up, proceed to the next step.
To wire your dolls house chandelier, pull the pins from the plug of your prewired bulb assembly, and carefully remove the wire from the plastic plug head.
Thread the wire through the center of your waterfall bead assembly from the underside of the bead cap. Gently pull the wire through the bead cap so that you do not remove the plastic coating from the wire (enlarge the bead cap hole if necessary). If your prewired bulb assembly has bare wires soldered to the base of the bulb holder, wrap the end of the bulb holder in a bit of electricians tape before you pull the bulb holder up tight to the metal bead cap (you don't want any wiring shorts!)
Cover the wire on the ceiling side of the bead cap with filigree beads (as shown) or use a piece of hollow brass tubing cut to the length you want the chandelier to hang below the ceiling. Thread the wire through this cover. Finally, thread the wire through a final bead cap, or decorative cover plate which will cover the wiring hole in the ceiling.
Re install short bare ends of the wire in the plug base, and re insert the brass plug pins on top of the short bare wires (you do not want bare wire showing on the base of the plug or your fixture will short out.
Test your fixture in a light strip, or dolls house socket to make sure it lights up. If not, check the bulb, the base of the light socket, and the wire. Make sure the wire is not bent, broken or bare, the light bulb is securely screwed in, and the solder connections on the base of the bulb holder are not broken.
When you are sure the chandelier is in working order, remove the pins and plug if necessary and install your new chandelier in your scale roombox or scene.
