When can spotlights cause a fire?

The reasons for which turned lamps cause a fire, there are several.

Defective goods

Simply put, the lamp itself is from China or made somewhere underground. Not safe assembly of products. Never believe an advertisement that shows bright and beautiful LEDs, the bulbs on the exhibition walls also burn not at full power, but very brightly. This is an advertising move in order for a person to purchase products. Also, fixtures of Chinese origin use very cheap materials, there are no drivers for protection against sudden inrush currents. This means that when a current jump occurs, it is very easy to ignite the lamp itself, and as a result a fire. Improper soldering in spotlights can cause fires, not large-scale, but unpleasant.

The problem with the wiring in the house

If all the same, the purchased lamp is of high quality, but there is a fire or a circuit, then the matter is in the wiring. First you need to check the quality of the connection of the wires in the junction box. You also need to check the connection of the spotlight. In no case should there be bare wires.

Incorrect connection

If you are not confident in your abilities, then do not go into the wiring. The problem may be in the wrong connection diagram, possibly in the power supply. You must buy a power supply with a margin of 20% power. It is advisable to connect the wires with WAGO terminal blocks, very high quality. It is also necessary to check the cartridges in the chandelier. So that the bulbs do not constantly burn out. You can of course bend the contacts, but for your own peace of mind it is better to simply replace the cartridge. We remind you that if the lamp switch has a backlight, then the spotlight itself will not burn at full power, its light will be dim. Therefore, it is more correct to choose switches without additional options. Remember to observe safety precautions when connecting and replacing bulbs. Be sure to cut off electricity in the entire room.

These are perhaps the main and main reasons for the ignition of spotlights. Also, do not forget that each fixture and lamp has its own warranty period. That is, in a critical case, you can contact the store with a request for a replacement product. Remember the recommendations, if you do not understand wiring and electrics, it is better to turn to the master, usually at shops, has his own electricians, who for a fee will help you all to plug.
