Connecting a double switch to a chandelier
After purchasing a product, you must install and connect it. If it is a question of an ordinary connection, then everything is simple. In some cases, the connection of the lamp is an entire science, which we will try to explain in order.
Switches can be:
- Single-key;
- Two-key;
- Three-key;
- Four-key.
Let's consider for the beginning connection of a fixture with a two-key switch. Such a switch ensures the inclusion of light in two different places. Connecting the wiring from the cartridges in such a system is necessary in parallel, despite their number. If desired, in connecting the two-key switch to the chandelier, you can install a jumper between the leads. Schemes connecting a conventional chandelier and a variant with a fan are shown below.
The connection of the three-legged chandelier, with 4 lamps or five-bolt chandeliers, follows the same principle: you should determine the common wire coming out of the ceiling with the help of the phase indicator, connect to it one wire from the pairs from the cartridge. Two wires from the ceiling are connected to the remaining wires from the pair. Connection LED lamp is the same principle, the process differs only in the number of wires, video connections can be seen here.
Video: how to properly connect the chandelier to the one-button switch
In fact, to properly install a home lighting device, you do not need to call an electrician or go for help to a neighbor. It is enough to see a detailed video with step-by-step instructions and everything will fall into place. However, if you have a question about how to connect a halogen chandelier, read the basic rules for installing a luminaire with LEDs.
It is quite easy to connect a chandelier with a single-key switch, just connect two wires pairwise - zero to neutral, phase to phase. There should not be any questions, because the electrical wiring diagram, in this case, is simple.
Connecting the chandelier to two switches. How to connect two lamps?
When installing LED lamps to a single switch, all connections must be made in parallel. In addition, the neutral wires must be connected to the common zero wire of the ceiling. The connection of a chandelier to a double switch has the same principle, it can be studied in detail on a special electrical circuit. The process itself is quite convenient and does not require additional knowledge, but always remember your safety.
In order to see in detail how to connect the dimmer to the luminaire, five-lobed, three-way or 5 carob chandelier for two switches, we recommend you to watch a special video, where in practice all the information that interests you is described.
Do not forget that whenever you connect, whether it's a halogen chandelier, 2 switches, 6 lights or a field, you should always remember the safety precautions. Without fail, temporarily stop the flow of current into the apartment and work in rubber gloves.
In order to connect the luminaire to a two-switch switch it is necessary to use separate junction boxes, no matter whether it is a connection of a three-lobed, LED or five-pendant chandelier.
Installation of a lamp with 5 lamps occurs by parallel connection of wires of each horn. If you have purchased a Chinese chandelier, the standards of its installation may differ in the same way as the quality of the product itself. After watching the video lesson, you will be introduced to how to connect a Chinese, halogen and diode chandelier. In addition, you will be told in detail how to properly connect and hang it.
Following all these instructions and rules, the connection will be quick and without any problems. But, if you are still not confident in your abilities, ask for help from professionals, because this can depend on your life.
