You've finally found the perfect wall lamp for your bedside table or desk, but you don't know how to install it? The following instructions will show you how!
What you need:
- An electrical tester
- A drill bit
- A pair of pliers
- Screwdriver
- Screws and dowels
- Possibly a hammer drill
Step 1. Turn off the power
Turn off all active power before installing your wall light . Use an electrical tester to determine that there is no active power in the wires. If the electrical tester is not lit, it means that there is no active power.
Step 2. Attach the mounting bracket
Loosen the wall light mounting bracket using a screwdriver and screw it to the wall using the screw anchors.
Step 3. Connect the wires to the wall lamp
Make sure there is a mains connection available where you want to install your wall lamp .
Usually there are two or three wires to connect to the mains, a black wire and a blue wire or a third additional wire if the wall lamp is grounded, yellow-green. Start by stripping a little of the plastic surrounding the wires up to 0.5 cm from the black and blue wire and, if there is a ground wire, strip it as well.
The connector block has two or three openings, two of them are for the black and blue wires and sometimes in the middle you will find an opening for a ground wire (yellow-green wire).
If your wall light is grounded, make sure to connect this wire to the middle opening, for the black and blue wire, it doesn't matter which opening you use. Once all the wires are inserted into the connector block, screw it in tightly using a screwdriver and make sure no wires come loose.
Step 4. Attach the wall light
Attach the wall light to the bracket mounted on the wall. Typically, you lift the light up to the mounting bracket already attached to the wall using the two screws on each side.
Step 5. Insert the bulb
Now that the wall light is fully installed, it’s time to insert a light bulb and turn the power back on. Often, a light bulb is not included with a wall light , so it’s important to find a compatible light source to use. You can find the right bulb for your needs on our website. You can also see the maximum wattage required on the box the light came in. Once the light is turned on and the bulb is inserted, replace the cover if necessary and turn on your light to watch it come to life!
Step 6: Attach a cord and plug to a wall lamp
Want a cord and plug for your wall lamp ? It's easy to do.
A cord and plug can be attached to the wall lamp 's connection block, which will allow the cord and plug to hang down the back of the wall lamp so you can plug it into a nearby outlet.
If you want the cord and plug to be discreet and fit better, drill a small hole through which the connecting wire can pass on the body of the wall lamp itself and insert it directly onto the connection block.
