How to assemble a chandelier with pendants and a remote control?

Recently, the market has been literally flooded with ceiling lights with a remote control. In addition to turning the lighting device on and off, there are additional “bells and whistles,” such as: adjusting the brightness, changing the color of the LEDs as desired, music effects, and an on / off timer. As for the design, it can be almost anything - from pretentious to strict “high-tech”. Today we’ll talk about how to assemble a chandelier with pendants and a remote control.

Installation algorithm

It is the same as the installation of the most ordinary ceiling lamp:

1. When buying a device, be sure to check its completeness. Do not forget about the detailed step-by-step installation instructions. Do not be too lazy to check the serviceability of the lamp.
2. Before assembling a Chinese chandelier, find the bracket with holes and nuts with bolts in the kit. This set is necessary in order to make the basis for the installation of the chandelier.
3. The next step is the marking of points for drilling in the ceiling plate.

Important! It is necessary to be especially careful not to touch the wiring. For drywall constructions, Molly bolts are used.

Assembling a Chinese chandelier with pendants - connecting to the mains

Before starting work, be sure to turn off the machine in the shield, thus de-energizing the line. Now it's time to tackle the wires that come out of the ceiling:

1. Straighten them carefully and align them to fit.
2. The ends of the wires must be stripped with 15 mm.
3. If the wires are painted in the same color, you need to determine the phase.
4. Extend the wires to the sides, turn on the machine and find the phase.
5. Mark the phase wires with a marker.
6. Then turn off the machine again.

Before connecting the chandelier with the remote control to the double switch, carefully examine it. The upper luminaire cup is equipped with a plastic terminal for switching on the conductors and a control unit. Three types of wires painted in different colors are connected to the terminal:

• N - black or blue - matches zero.
• L - brown or red - corresponds to the phase.
• PE - yellow green. This terminal is not used in houses with old wiring.

It is advisable to mount the light fixture together with an assistant who will hold the lamp while you make connections to the terminals. If there is no assistant, you can hang the device on a temporary wire hook or rope. The ends must be insulated.

Finish line

So, how to assemble a Chinese chandelier with pendants and a remote control, figured out. Now it remains, following the instructions, to collect all the elements, mount the lampshade and lamps. Pay particular attention to the contact between the base and the lamp. After all installation work is completed, turn on the machine, thus supplying power to the lighting line. Then try to “play” with the remote control, switching it to different modes.

Important! The luminaire will only function when the switch is in the on position (in this case, voltage is supplied to the device. Only in this case, you can use the remote control.

As you can see, everything is not so complicated, however, if your knowledge of electrical engineering is limited to a half-forgotten physics course for the 9th grade of high school, call the master. You do not need injuries.
