The first and foremost thought that comes to mind while deciding to have a crystal chandelier at home is the location where you could accommodate it, without the chandelier overpowering the rest of your décor. A rule of thumb before finalizing your choicest chandelier could be to bear in mind its size and also the place where it will fit in.
Sofary brings to you a wide range of lighting options in various sizes, finishing, and designs to fit your requirement. For instance, here you’ll find a five-ring crystal chandelier that could grace your stairwell or foyer or even your bedroom or living room. You can use these with a warm white bulb to give out a soft hue on a flat or even a sloping ceiling. We provide customization as per your taste and also installation process is briefly mentioned below.
Once the electrical part is sorted with the help of an electrician, the later part of the installation can easily be done by you. On the other hand, you can hire a handyman to the job for you too. The process would include the following:
- Pre-installation prep
- Before you begin the installation, make sure the chandelier hasn’t been damaged by checking the same by switching it on while still on the ground.
- Once that’s done, go ahead and get hold of the tools you’d need such as- pliers, ladder, power-drill, screw-drivers and so on.
- Next, to avoid any electric shock, be sure to cut-off the power supply before touching any wiring.
- Installing the mounting bracket
Firstly, depending on whether you’re putting up pendant light or a chandelier, drill holes onto the ceiling. Next, affix the screws through the bracket to fix the same on the ceiling.
- Adjusting length of the fixture
Determine your desired height by adjusting the wire as per your need. You will be able to raise or lower the height by pressing the pin and releasing the same for locking the height.
- Wires, canopy, bulb and crystals
Now, you can connect the live wire with the canopy, before putting in your bulbs and removing the protective film. In the end fix the crystals matching the numbers to their respective strings. Finally, check the end result (Tip: Always go from in to out to avoid tangling of crystal strings)
An alternative approach to hanging your chandelier could be by affixing all the fixtures such as bulbs, crystals, etc. on the ground itself. Next, attach the mounting structure using screws and screw-driver. Attach the ready chandelier on the ceiling and admire the view.
