Common mistakes when mounting the chandelier

Buying and hanging a chandelier, many do not take into account the features of the operation. Frequent mistakes in choosing an accessory lead to the fact that a beautiful product in the store is completely unsuitable for fastening, not Combines with the interior and room area, gives too little light, when turned on, exudes an unpleasant smell of melting plastic.

Chandelier Mount

There are two types, for the strap that comes with the product and the hook. The bar is designed for small, light fixtures, a hook for mounting massive and heavy products. Before you go to the store for a purchase, you need to see what kind of mount is on the ceiling. Before buying in a store, make sure that the fasteners are similar.

Many well-known manufacturers companies offer both methods of mounting accessories, but not all. In the case of a stretch ceiling, it is worth choosing the LED option. Even a small number of incandescent lamps can greatly heat the stretched material and deform the surface. LED, unlike incandescent lamps, almost do not heat up.

Size ratio

It is necessary to compare the size of the room and the chandelier. If the product has impressive dimensions, and you need to hang it in a small room with a low ceiling, such a chandelier due to its large size will not look, moreover, it will create additional inconvenience. It is not very pleasant to touch the chandelier with your head. Conversely, the lamp is small in size, in a large room it will be absurd, there will be little light from it.

There are cases when the dimensions of the light source fit perfectly into the interior of the room, but the product, due to the low ceiling, hangs too low. Many chandeliers are equipped with a hanging chain, chain adjustment is simple, remove unnecessary links and the problem is solved.

Power chandelier

The exact selection of the power of the light source, the guarantee of a bright room and the absence of unpleasant odors. Suppose you bought a low-power lamp, which contains plastic. Due to the dark interior of the room, when the light is turned on, the room is still gloomy.

Many turn out standard bulbs and screw in more powerful ones than it should be. Incandescent lamps, heated to an elevated temperature, act on the plastic parts of the chandelier. Overheating, the plastic melts, an unpleasant odor spreads throughout the room.

This also applies to the wiring of the lamp, melting of the insulation of the wires, not designed for a large load of electric current, can cause a short circuit, which is unsafe in fire protection.
