🛠️ Part 1: Preparation and Tools Before Installation
Before you begin, please ensure you have all the necessary parts and tools.
1. Check the Parts List
Compare the parts against the product manual to confirm that all parts are present. These typically include:
- Pendant light body (mesh lampshade)
- Ceiling canopy/mounting plate, usually brass or chrome-plated metal.
- Mounting bracket/crossbar, for securing to the ceiling junction box.
- Suspension cable/wire
- Connecting screws and fasteners
- Power cord and integrated LED module
2. Prepare the necessary tools
- Ladder (ensure it is stable)
- Screwdriver/electric screwdriver (for installing brackets and ceiling cover)
- Wire stripper (if wire length needs to be adjusted)
- Voltage tester/multimeter (essential for safety)
3. Safety First: Disconnect the power!
- Locate the circuit breaker in your home and turn off the main switch that supplies power to the installation area. Use a voltage tester to confirm that the wires at the installation location are completely de-energized.
💡 Part Two: Assembling the Chandelier Body
- Assembling the chandelier mesh shade on the ground will make the installation on the ceiling quicker and safer.
- Unfold the mesh shade: Gently unfold the three-layered mesh shade of the Meshmatics chandelier.
Connect the support rods:
- Thread the metal rods/support rods with the connecting cables through the small holes in the center of the mesh shade, pulling the cables through.
- Lock or screw the support rods to the main body of the mesh shade at the center or bottom. Check to ensure the support rods securely hold the entire mesh shade structure.
Connect the suspension cables:
- Adjust the length of the suspension cables according to your desired hanging height.
- Using the provided clamps/fasteners, secure the suspension cables to the support rods or connectors, ensuring the cables do not slip.
- Tip: Measuring and adjusting the cable length beforehand will avoid repeated adjustments at height.
🏗️ Part 3: Ceiling Installation and Wiring
This step involves fixing the light fixture to the ceiling and connecting the power supply.
1. Installing the Ceiling Plate Bracket
- Align the mounting bracket (crossbar) with the junction box on the ceiling.
- Securely fasten the bracket to the junction box using screws and nuts. Ensure the bracket is stable, as it will support the weight of the entire light fixture.
2. Connecting the Wires
- Connect the power wires (usually two or three) from the light fixture to the corresponding power wires in the ceiling.
- Live wire: Usually black or red, connect to the live wire in your home.
- Neutral wire: Usually white or blue, connect to the neutral wire in your home.
- Ground wire: Usually green or yellow-green, connect to the ground wire in your home (safety connection, cannot be omitted).
- Use wire nuts to tightly twist together the corresponding colored wires, and ensure all connections are well insulated.
3. Securing the Ceiling Plate
- Carefully tuck any excess wires into the junction box or ceiling plate.
- Lift the ceiling cover/ceiling plate (the round brass part) into place, covering the mounting bracket and junction box.
- Align the holes on the ceiling plate with the screw holes on the mounting bracket, and securely fasten it to the bracket using decorative nuts or screws. Ensure the ceiling plate is flush against the ceiling and the screws are fully tightened.
