Ceiling light installation: quality lighting for every room
The ceiling light is the main fitting in most rooms. Its installation must be carried out properly to ensure safety and aesthetics. Elecprium installs and replaces all types of ceiling lights.
Types of ceiling lights
- Classic ceiling light: fixed directly to the ceiling, general lighting
- Pendant: suspended with cable or chain, dining room or kitchen lighting
- Chandelier: decorative fitting for reception rooms
- LED ceiling light: modern, energy-efficient and durable lighting
- LED panel: professional lighting for offices and shops
The importance of the DCL box
The NFC 15-100 standard requires the installation of a luminaire connection box (DCL) at each light point. This device:
- Ensures secure connection of the fitting
- Supports the weight of the fitting (up to 25 kg)
- Facilitates replacement of the fitting without intervention on the wiring
- Is mandatory in new builds and renovations
Our intervention
- Verification or installation of the DCL box
- Safe isolation of the lighting circuit
- Connection of the ceiling light in compliance with best practice
- Fixing adapted to the type of ceiling (concrete, plasterboard, wood)
- Functional test and earth verification
Special cases
- Plasterboard ceiling: use of appropriate plugs or fixing to the structure
- Concrete ceiling: drilling and hammer plugs
- Heavy fitting (chandelier, fan): mandatory reinforced fixing
- Wet room (bathroom): compliance with protection zones, appropriate IP rating
Practical advice
- Choose lighting power according to the surface area of the room
- Opt for LED bulbs to reduce your consumption
- Install a dimmer to adapt the ambiance to your needs
- Check the fitting's compatibility with dimmable LED bulbs
