The defect of not being able to install large luxury lighting.
The difference between the ceiling light and the ceiling: the light body of the ceiling light is directly installed on the roof, which is suitable for overall lighting. Ceiling lights are basically the same as chandeliers in terms of function and characteristics, but differ in form. The difference with chandeliers is that there are differences in the use of space, chandeliers are mostly used in higher spaces, and ceiling lights are used in lower spaces. In addition, the ceiling light requires the light body to be longer.

1Choose a location
The first thing to do when installing a ceiling light is to determine the installation location of the ceiling light. For example, the ceiling lights in the living room, dining room, and kitchen are best installed in the middle, so that the light in each position is more even. In the bedroom, considering the impact of mosquito nets and light on sleep, try not to install ceiling lights above the bed.
In addition, the ceiling light needs to be installed on a wall or ceiling that can withstand the weight of the ceiling light, such as masonry structure, and try not to choose a wooden wall, so as to avoid the danger of falling over a long time.
2 Remove the ceiling light mask
Remove the cover of the ceiling light. Generally, the cover of the ceiling light has two fixing methods: rotation and snapping. Be careful when dismantling, so as not to damage the ceiling light, and take off the light tube after taking off the mask to prevent the light tube from being broken during installation.
3 Install the base
Place the base at the predetermined installation position, mark the wall with a pencil, then remove the base, drill holes at the marked position with an electric drill, and then install the expansion bolts for fixing the base in the holes, paying attention to the diameter of the drilling holes and the depth of the burial to match the bolts. Specifications match. Then put the base back to the predetermined position and fix it.
4 Connect the wires
After fixing the base, you can connect the power cord to the terminal block of the ceiling light. It should be noted that the electrical contact between the two wires connected to the power cord of the ceiling light should be good, and they should be wrapped with black tape respectively. Keep a certain distance. If possible, try not to put the two wire ends under the same piece of metal to avoid short circuit and danger.
5 Install the mask and pendant
After connecting the wires, you can try to turn on the power. If everything is normal, you can turn off the power and install the mask of the ceiling light. The living room ceiling light also needs to be installed with a series of pendants, because each ceiling light pendant is different, so the specific installation method can refer to the product manual.
