Installing lamps is not inherently difficult. Even someone with no prior experience can complete the task by carefully following these instructions. However, it is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician.
Safety Measures Before Installation:
- Mandatory Electrical Disconnection: Before starting any work, ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected. Locate the electrical control panel and switch off the circuit breaker corresponding to the lighting circuit. Verify the absence of voltage with a certified voltage tester. Place a warning sign on the electrical panel indicating that maintenance work is in progress, to prevent accidental reconnection of the power supply.
- Product and Wiring Inspection:Thoroughly examine the lamp and wiring for any visible damage. Do not proceed with installation if any anomalies are found. Ensure that the wiring complies with current electrical regulations in your region.
Installation Procedure:
1. Preparation of the Installation Location:
Select the desired location on the surface (ceiling, wall, etc.) and mark the lamp's attachment point. If you do not have adequate wiring channels, consult an electrician to perform the installation safely and in compliance with regulations.
2. Electrical Connection:
Use certified terminal blocks to connect the lamp's wires to the electrical circuit wires. Ensure that the connections are firm and properly insulated. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for wire connections, respecting polarity and color codes.
3. Lamp Fixture:
Attach the lamp to the surface using wall plugs and screws suitable for the wall or ceiling material type. Verify that the support of the lamp is robust.
4. Final Verification:
After completing the installation, visually inspect all connections and ensure there are no loose or exposed wires. Restore the power supply and test the lamp's operation. If the lamp does not light up, disconnect the power and check the connections.
Important Warnings:
Handling electricity can be dangerous. If you do not have experience with electrical installations, hire a qualified electrician.
Ensure that the installation complies with current local and national electrical regulations.
