How to install chandeliers and light fixtures

Material

🇧🇷 Light fixture
🇧🇷 Insulating tape
🇧🇷 Pliers
🇧🇷 Screwdriver
🇧🇷 Stylus

Step by step

1. Turn off the house main switch.

2. Remove the plastic cover from the end of the wires from both the chandelier and the light box installed on the ceiling of the room.

3. Join the end of one of the chandelier wires with the end of one of the wires coming out of the box. Place them side by side and twist them so they are stuck together. Cover the splice with electrical tape (about four times, so the metal is completely covered).

4. Repeat the process with the other wire coming out of the chandelier.

5. With the two screws, fix the fastener that comes with the chandelier. The fastener holes must match the side holes of the light box, installed on the ceiling of the room.

6. To finish, fix the luminaire on the fastener with the screws that come with the chandelier.

No shocks

According to architect Gustavo Curcio, care must be taken not to get shocked when touching the electrical network. “First of all, turn off the main switch. She usually stays on the power board, at the entrance to the house, ”he recommends. Does she still not feel safe? Buy a voltage test. It’s a little device that checks if the power is really off and shows if the socket voltage is 110 or 220 W. You can find it in construction material stores.

Other important security measures

🇧🇷 Never touch the electrical network if your body is wet.
🇧🇷 Do not work barefoot. Wear sneakers or sandals with rubber soles.
