Tools Required (Not Included):

  • Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
  • Wire strippers
  • Drill (if mounting holes are not pre-drilled or existing)

  • Safety glasses

Installation Steps:

  1. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse box controlling the light fixture's power supply. Turn off the power completely before starting any work. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
  2. Prepare Mounting Surface: Identify the desired location for the light fixture on the ceiling. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound to support the light's weight (260g).
  3. Attach Mounting Bracket (if applicable): If your fixture comes with a separate mounting bracket, attach it to the ceiling using appropriate screws and anchors. Use the fixture itself or the bracket as a template to mark drilling points.
  4. Wire Connections: Carefully connect the electrical wires from the ceiling to the light fixture. Typically, this involves connecting live (L), neutral (N), and ground (GND) wires. Match the colors (e.g., brown/red to live, blue/black to neutral, green/yellow to ground). Secure connections with wire nuts or terminal blocks provided.
  5. Mount the Fixture: Align the light fixture with the mounting bracket or directly with the pre-drilled holes. Secure the fixture firmly to the ceiling using the provided screws. Ensure no wires are pinched during this step.
  6. Test: Once the fixture is securely mounted, restore power at the circuit breaker. Turn on the light switch to test the functionality of the new LED ceiling light.
