Installation diagram for built-in tensionceiling lamp. What is it? This is a metal plate that fits the contour of a certain type of lamp and holds the structure on the ceiling. It contains ready-made holes for fastening, so before starting the installation, it is worth applying it to the ceiling surface, marking the drilling points with a marker. This way, their locations will be determined. If the ceiling structure is monolithic, you will have to work with a hammer drill. After drilling the required number of holes, the bar must be attached, while installing bolts in it to attach the chandelier. It must be tightened firmly, based on the weight of the chandelier itself. Unlike the walls, the ceiling will only hold the hook or bar with the entire structure, therefore, there will be no support. Now you need to manipulate both the chandelier and the bar at the same time, so that the lamp accurately accepts the bolts into its holes, which are also tightened with nuts. Needless to say, the structure must be disassembled into parts for ease of installation. Then the wires are connected, the operability is checked, and the lamp can be assembled.

Errors made while fixing the luminaire on the ceiling

Wooden blocks are initially attached under the ceiling canvas, in the fabric - blocks, so that the hole does not go wide with the weight of the device. Only then can the lamp be attached. Secondly, this is the installation of the chandelier in its "full dress", that is, with all the components and decorative details.

No doubt, some of them look quite presentable, but the contents leave much to be desired. This applies to the quality of the wires. If you still make a purchase, then you should think about whether the wall is the best place for it. Assembling and hanging a lamp on the ceiling is not as difficult as it seems.
