How to carefully remove a spotlight?

Very often, when removing a spotlight from the strobes in a drywall, three troubles may arise( not necessarily all at once):

1. The spring latch nails the fingers, immediately after exiting the seat.
2. Stroke contours are destroyed due to the pressure of the spring during dismantling.
3. When the contacts are disconnected, the person is struck by an electric current.

Both variants are very disappointing, especially as it can easily be avoided.

Proper dismantling of

In order to correctly remove a spotlight from a false ceiling, it is necessary to perform a few simple steps:

• Disconnect the circuit breaker installed in the lighting group of this room.
• Disconnect( or unscrew) the bulb from the product case.
• Use a straight screwdriver( or knife) to touch the outer edge of the decorative rim( to create a small gap).
• In the cross screwdriver, carefully insert another screwdriver( or knife).
• Evenly "pick out" the body from the seat until a gap is formed that is sufficient for the fingers to crawl.
• Press the latches against the body and gently pull the product out of the stunt( as shown in the photo).
• Unscrew the screws from the terminal block to release the contacts( if provided by the design).

That's it, 7 simple steps will allow you to quickly and, most importantly, safely remove the point light from the ceiling( with plastic by the way, too).

We draw your attention to the fact that in the case of a suspended ceiling, it is possible to dismantle the product a little easier. It is necessary to gently press the ring with the hands, which holds the body of the product, then slowly pull out the luminaire until there is no access to the fingers of the latch. Press the latches and carefully try to remove the case. Act very carefully, because if the latch opens, you can damage the stretch ceiling film.

Useful tip

To ensure that the removal process is not hampered, during the installation of the ceiling light, make the stropa slightly larger than the diameter of the body. In this case, the gap will hide behind the decorative panel with a bulb, and the increased free space will make it less problematic to remove the spotlight.
