Mini Chandeliers | Home Lighting Decor
Chandeliers are a set of decorative lights put together on one stand and hung from the center of the ceiling to light the entire room. They were first made by glass makers of Bohemia in the early 16th century with rock crystals and quartz. Chandelier lighting was found either in medieval churches, monasteries or in houses of wealthy people in those times but today, it is an integral part of home lighting. There are many exquisite designs in which these chandeliers come and you can match them with your home’s interior. It is quite simple to install one on your own so, take a look at these few steps on how to hang a chandelier in the house.
Chandelier Hanging Instructions
Chandeliers were first lit by candles in their crystal stands and hung with a common holder from the center of the ceiling. They often lit the whole room because of the reflection of the candle light on the skilfully cut crystal stands. Today there are a variety of chandeliers made from many materials. Given below are some instructions on how to hang a chandelier from the ceiling on your own. More on buying ceiling lighting fixture.
- To get started with these chandelier hanging tips, decide a location where you want to install your chandelier and remove the current fixture to replace the new one. As it involves, disconnecting the electric wiring, switch off the main circuit controlling the room’s electricity.
- Use a ladder to remove the canopy of the old fixture and disconnect the wiring. This connection between the old light fixture and the house wiring will have a pair of twist-on connectors which can be removed by hand.
- Discard the old electric materials and take down the old fixture to hand over to a helper. Remove all the appliances that were involved with the old fixture like screws, support bar and loose fins with screwdrivers and handsaw. Eventually what should be left is an empty hole with electrical wiring.
- Another important tip on how to hang a chandelier is to install the support brace first. If the chandelier is heavy, it’s support brace will have a hexagonal support with prongs that stick directly into the wood of the ceiling joist. This will probably be necessary for providing proper support. Tighten it with leverage.
- Pull, about 6 inches of wires from the knockout hole into the new electrical box and tighten the cable connector with screwdrivers. This cable connector should not be overtightened and should be nonmetallic so as not to pierce the insulation of the wires.
- Once this is done, attach the electrical box in which you’ve safely fed the wires. Attach it to the brace with screws or a bolt tightly, to ensure full support.
- Now, remove the chain links and raise the new chandelier to it’s height with the assistance of the helper. Remove, enough chain to hang it to a certain desired height from the ceiling and connect the wires of the chandelier with the housing wires.
- Strip about an inch of insulation off the ends of the wires and connect to the chandelier wiring with twist-on connectors. Attach the canopy by carefully tucking the remaining wiring up into the electric box and slide the canopy up to tighten it to the ceiling.
- Add the LED lights and the shades of the chandelier and other decorative appliances carefully. Flip the circuit breaker and test if your beautiful chandelier is working.
