Installation of lamp luminaires

Installing lighting is easy, if you know how!

Installing lights on the ceiling is something that most of us need to do sometimes. For example, you may need to install lights when you move or decorate your home. You may also want to replace the lighting in your home. Lighting and lamps make your home more comfortable and you don't have to sit in the dark. Here are some tips when you need to install lighting in your home.

By yourself or with a professional?

Fixing a light to the ceiling yourself is usually not difficult, but in what situations should you seek professional help? If you are unsure, it is worth asking for help from someone who knows, poorly made or incorrect connections can be life-threatening. Call 24 Center on 020 74 24 70 and our customer service will help you as quickly as possible!

Here are some situations where you might consider whether it is best to do the job yourself or whether it is better to hire a professional to do it instead.

• Installation of ceiling luminaires in sockets: There are different steps in the installation process and some different connection methods. In the best case, there is a socket already fixed to the ceiling and the operation does not take long, even if you are not very experienced with installation work in the home.
• Sugar cube: Attaching a sugar cube to the junction box is slightly more difficult, but you can do it yourself with the right instructions. Perhaps you have an acquaintance who is handy with electrical work and can advise how to attach the sugar cube to the junction box.
• Installing a roof socket: If you don't have a roof socket in the place you want in your home, it must be installed! You need to run a cable to the socket from the nearest box and install the socket correctly. So it pays to hire a professional!
• Installing a wall light:Wall lights differ from ceiling lights in that they usually get their power from a normal wall socket. The most difficult part of installing a wall light is usually knowing which screws and plugs belong to the right type of wall.

Halogen or LED? Which is more environmentally friendly and efficient?

Many people probably think about environmental friendliness and efficiency when buying a lamp - after all, lamps work with electricity! The production of incandescent light bulbs was banned in 2012, but all the bulbs left in stock had to be sold out. Many people have heard of halogen or LED lamps, but which is more energy efficient?

Here we compare the differences and similarities of halogen and LED lamps to give you a better idea of what's right for your home.

Led

LED lights are usually said to be more friendly to the environment, but are they really? LED lamps do not need high temperatures to work and therefore energy consumption is also low. This also affects the lifetime of the lamp. LEDs also don't suffer from switching on and off, so you can turn off the lights just when you need them. LED lamps usually also come with a dimmer function, which also leads to less energy consumption.

Halogen

Halogen lamps were subject to stricter requirements in 2018 because their energy consumption is inefficient compared to other alternatives. Halogen lamps that are still in stock can be sold out. Instead of halogen lamps, you should buy LED, fluorescent or energy-saving lamps.
