method/step

1. The most basic requirement for lamp installation is that it must be fastened.

2. When installing electrical lighting devices in masonry structures, embedded hooks, bolts, screws, expansion bolts, nylon plugs or plastic plugs should be used to fix them. Wooden wedges are strictly prohibited.

3. In highly dangerous and special dangerous places, when the height of the lamps and lanterns is less than 2.4 meters from the ground, lighting lamps with a rated voltage of 36 volts or less should be used or protective measures should be taken. Lamps should not be installed directly on combustible objects. When the high-temperature part of the lamp surface is close to combustible objects, heat insulation and heat dissipation measures should be taken.

4. The wire end connected to the power supply line of the ceiling lamp should have good electrical contact, and it is best to wrap it with black tape and keep a certain distance. Try not to put the wire ends under the same piece of metal to avoid the danger of short circuit.

5. When installing wall lamps, bedside lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, mirror headlights and other lamps indoors, if the height is less than 24m and below, the metal shell of the lamps should be grounded to ensure safe use.

6. Porcelain screw-mounted short-leg lamp holders are suitable for installing short-leg lamp holders in bathrooms and kitchens. The wiring and phase wire (switch wire) of the screw lamp cap should be connected to the center contact terminal, and the neutral wire should be connected to the screw terminal.

7. When installing various lamps on the decorative ceiling, it should be installed according to the requirements of the lamp installation instructions. When the luminaire weighs more than 3kg, it should be installed with a pre-embedded hook or directly fixed with an expansion bolt from the roof (the luminaire cannot be installed with a flat ceiling keel bracket). The wires leading out from the lamp head box shall be protected with hoses to the lamp position to prevent the wires from being exposed in the flat top.

How to install home improvement lamps?

In home decoration, the installation of lamps must be careful, which will play a big role in our future maintenance of lamps. Of course, the installation of lamps and lanterns is not a simple matter, but also requires certain skills. Today, the editor will tell you the precautions for installing home decoration lamps.

1. Before installation, check whether the lamp is in good condition, whether the lamp accessories are intact, whether the insulated wires of the accessories in the lamp are in good condition, and there is no leakage.

2. Fire prevention and heat insulation measures must be taken around the lamps, and cold light sources should be used as much as possible.

3. It is strictly forbidden to use wood to fix the lighting device, and fix it with embedded junction boxes, screws, hooks, expansion bolts or plastic plugs.

4. When installing bedside lamps, table lamps, mirror headlights, floor lamps, wall lamps and other lamps, the metal shell of the lamps should be reliably grounded to ensure safe use. When wiring, a ground wire should also be added at the light box.

5. When installing various lamps on the decorative ceiling, they should be installed according to the requirements of the lamp installation instructions. And hidden electrical wires in ceiling or wall panels must be protected with flame retardant sleeves. When the weight of the lamp is more than 3 kg, the embedded hook should be used or the bracket and hanger should be fixed directly from the roof (the lamp cannot be installed with a flat roof suspension keel bracket). The wires leading from the lamp socket box shall be protected to the position of the lamp by hoses to prevent the wires from being exposed in the flat roof.

6. For the lighting device installed on the insulating table, the insulating part of the wire connector should be on the surface of the insulating table.

7. Porcelain screw short-foot lamp holders should be used for short-foot lamp holders for bathrooms and kitchens. The wiring and phase wire (switch wire) of the screw lamp cap should be connected to the center contact terminal, and the neutral wire should be connected to the screw terminal.

8. The most important and basic point in the installation process: for the safety of lamp holders with switches such as desk lamps, there should be no exposed metal parts at the beginning of the handle.

9. Must pay attention to safety issues. Scaffolding must be set up when installing main lamps, and measures must be taken to prevent giant lamps in large places from being broken and splashed. The top of the ladder should be buckled. For slippery ground, anti-skid measures must be considered. It is best to fasten your safety belt when working at heights, and fire prevention measures must be taken when working in a room with a suspended ceiling.

10. The installation location is also important. Linear incandescent or fluorescent lights should be installed facing the front of the cabinet. In this way, part of the light from the lamp is emitted to the tailgate, then reflected to the console, and then emitted to the center of the entire space.

11. If the space is high enough, a transparent or translucent chandelier can be installed on the ceiling as a light source. Chandeliers not only provide great lighting but also make great decorative projects.

12. The most important thing is to install the lamps firmly. You can pull it by hand and feel it.

13. The bottom cover of the lamp should be close to the ceiling and cannot be shaken.

14. If it is a chandelier, there will be wires extending from the top to the lamp base. It should be noted that this thread cannot be tightened, but should be loosely wound around the tie rod, otherwise the long-term tensioned thread will easily cause problems in the future.

15. In addition, many ceiling lights have scratch-resistant films that need to be removed after installation. Anyone who's been kicked out knows it's hard. At this time, you can blow the film with a hair dryer, and then remove it easily.

The above are the key points for attention in the installation of lamps and lanterns. The installation of lamps and lanterns involves electricity consumption, so we must pay attention to safety.

Precautions for correct installation of home lighting ceiling lamps

In recent years, with the rapid development of the decoration industry, the home decoration fever has also been promoted. The choice of lamps and lanterns is getting wider and wider, and many families like to use today's hot ceiling lamps as decorations. Today, let's talk about the installation and common problems of furniture downlights.

First,preparation tools for ceiling lamp installation

1. Electric hammer or electric hammer

For drilling holes in poured floors. Usually, an electric drill is enough. For the ceiling of a relatively solid masonry structure, if the electric hammer cannot be moved, an electric hammer must be used. The electric hammer is relatively heavy. The principle is that the electric hammer can be used as much as possible without the electric hammer.

2. Large Phillips screwdriver, small Phillips screwdriver

3. Electrical insulating tape

4. Wire stripper

5. Pencil

6. Expansion screws (usually bought with lights)

Second, common problems in the installation and application of ceiling lamps

1. When installing ceiling lights in masonry structures, embedded bolts should be used, or fixed with expansion screws, polyester plugs or plastic plugs; wooden wedges cannot be used. Moreover, the carrying capacity of the above-mentioned fixing card should match the net weight of the downlight. To ensure that the ceiling lamp is firmly fixed and reliable, and to extend its service life.

2. When selecting expansion bolts, the bolt specifications should be selected according to the technical requirements of the product, and the drilling diameter and embedding height should be consistent with the bolt specifications.

3. The number of bolts to fix the lamp base should not be less than the number of holes on the lighting base, and the diameter of the anchor screws should match the hole diameter; for lamps with no fixed mounting holes on the base (drill holes by themselves when installing), each lamp is used for The number of fixed bolts or screws should not be less than 2, and the center of gravity of the lighting should match the center of gravity of the bolts or screws; only when the diameter of the insulating table is 75mm or less can one bolt or screw be used for fixing.

4. The ceiling lamp cannot be directly installed on the flammable objects. Some homes use painted plywood to line the back of the ceiling lamp for beauty. In fact, this is very dangerous, and heat insulation measures must be taken; When storing objects, heat insulation or heat dissipation measures should also be adopted.

5. The two wire ends connected to the three-phase five-wire power supply of the ceiling lamp should be in good contact with the electrical equipment, and they should be wrapped with black tape respectively, and a certain distance should be kept. If possible, try not to place the two wire ends on the Under the same large piece of metal to prevent short circuit and cause danger
