Today I would be sharing with the community how to FIX A WALL LIGHT.
Follow me as we learn how it works.
After gettin your wall light and you get all necessary materials ready for the work done. It should be simple and easy if you get the steps done perfectly. One mistake could lead to loosing all parts again and coupling again.
So here the first thing is to fit the lamp holder with the filament for connecting it to the main wire inside the lamp fitting which would be later attached to the wall after wiring.
There is a screw that holds both the lamp holder to the lamp fitting. Use the screwdriver to tighten the screw so tight to avoid the lamp holder swinging here and there.
After carefully fitting the lamp holder, the next thing is to fit in the lamp shade grips. The essence of is to make sure the glass shade don’t slip off the wall and get broken.
There is a screw to tighten each grip to the lamp fitting. Make sure the screw are well tightened to prevent any damage when fitted on the wall.
The next thing to be done is wiring connections. There is a life wire (black colored) and a neutral wire (red colored) that’s connects to the bulb switch.
Connection the black life wire from the switch to the life wire from the lamp holder and connect the neutral wire from the switch to that from the lamp holder.
After that you tape the connection to avoid wire bridging together which might lead to a spark and cause damages.
After successfully wiring the connection, the next thing to be done is to fix the fittings to the wall. There is a long screw that is there to tighten the lamp fitting to the wall. Get your screwdriver and tighten the screw to the wall.
Get your bulb and fix it to the lamp holder. Make sure to fix a screwed end bulb to a screw lamp holder and a pin end bulb to a pin lamp holder.
The last thing to be done is to fix the lamp shade into the grip. It’s a glass ware so care should be taken when fitting it to the lamp fitting. After that it’s all done…
