Connect the sconce to the network - step by step instructions in pictures

The advantage of these fixtures is that they emit a diffused, not bright light stream, which can illuminate a certain part of the room. They are often used as bedside nightlights in the bedroom, as You can read your favorite book without distracting the person sleeping next to you. Now we will consider the main methods of installing and connecting a wall lamp to the network with our own hands.

Another important advantage of products is the ability to control the angle of incidence of light. The design includes a rotating lamp mount, which allows you to direct the light flux into a specific area. In addition, the lamps complement the interior of the rooms, due to the fact that they can be made of beautiful plastic, forged metal and even crystal.

To date, there are sconces with a rope switch, as well as working on a keyboard model. Next, we will consider the features of installing and connecting to the network of each of the options.

Connection Methods

Rope model

If the sconce lamp has a rope switch, then the installation of the product will not be difficult.

First you need to bring the wires to the connection point. Usually sconce height not standardized and ranges from 1 to 2 meters. It is recommended to lay out the cable in a hidden way so as not to spoil the interior of the room. At the output you should have 3 wires: ground, phase and zero. Marking N means that the wire is zero, L is phase, PE is grounding. The cord switch is easier to connect, all you need is to make contacts to the terminal blocks and fix it according to the diagram. In order not to make mistakes, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with color coded wires. The phase must be connected to phase, zero to zero, and ground to ground.

Keyboard model

Alternative kind of light switch - keyboard. Very often, the sconce design is designed so that instead of a rope or chain, only contacts are left that need to be independently connected. There is nothing complicated, the main thing is to do it at the stage installation of electrical wiring in the apartment either at home. This is due to the fact that during electrical work in a hidden way, it will be necessary to hammer the strobes under the switch and lay the cable.

So, the installation diagram has the following form: the input phase from the network must go to the switch, and from it back to the lamp (so that the circuit can be disconnected). Zero and ground are connected directly.

To your attention, visual diagrams of connecting a wall sconce with your own hands:

We draw your attention to the fact that in some (especially Chinese) products, the colors of the wires may be the same. In this case, it is recommended that you mark each contact using colored cambrics. This will make repairs and maintenance safe.

Cord with plug

There is another way to connect the sconce to the network - an electric wire with a plug. In this case, the wires from the lamp must be connected to an ordinary cord, which will be plugged into a power outlet. The advantage of this option is that you can do without wall gating and without additional installation of the switch. In addition, a cord can be added to the chain, which will break the chain so as not to constantly pull the plug from the outlet.

Main process

So, we figured out the ways to connect the wires, now consider the instructions for installing the sconce on the wall.

In order to independently connect the sconce to the 220 Volt network, it is necessary to prepare the following tools and materials:

To your attention a step-by-step photo installation instructions for a sconce with three lamps:

  1. Turn off circuit breakerto de-energize the room.
  2. We check the voltage at the contacts to which we will connect the sconce. To do this, use an indicator screwdriver.
  3. We put the back cover to the installation site and use a simple pencil to mark the holes for the mount. Make sure that the cover is locked in place.Drilling Holes
  4. We drill holes at the marked points and fasten the lid using dowels-nails.Fixing the back cover with dowels
  5. Using a knife, we clean the input contacts by 5-7 mm under the connection with the terminal block.Stripping lived
  6. We fix the veins in accordance with the scheme.Wire connection terminal block
  7. We fix the case with the bolts that come with the kit, as shown in the picture.Bolt-on housing
  8. Install the lampshade with a few more bolts. It is better to do this from above, on a stepladder, so that it is more convenient to tighten the bolts.
  9. Screw in Light source (LED and fluorescent lamps are usually used).
  10. We check the quality of the installation manually: we shake the sconces a bit to find out the quality of the fastening. If the lamp "firmly" sits in place, it remains only to apply voltage to it.
  11. We turn on the circuit breaker and check the operation of the product. If nothing sparks, and the light does not blink, then everything is done correctly.The result of the work performed

The second example of electrical work

This is all you need to know about how to install and connect a wall lamp yourself. As you can see, everything is quite simple! We recommend this option to place the lamp in the bathroom (for mirror lights), in the kitchen, in the bedroom (above the bed), in the living room (above the sofa) and in the corridor (also near the mirror).
