What to check before replacing a ceiling light
Weight, base, wiring, height and assembly: preparation for replacing a ceiling light.
Before removing the old light, check the new one: base diameter, fixing system, weight, bulb type and final height. A small difference may expose the old ceiling mark.
Base and fixing
Compare the new ceiling rose with the old one and check whether new holes are required.
Height and cable
For pendant lights, decide the drop before cutting or shortening the cable.
Final test
Check operation, stability, bulbs and that no connection is under strain.
Mistakes to avoid
- Buying a base smaller than the old mark
- Not checking whether bulbs are included
- Adjusting height after cutting the cable
THEVULGO tip
Send photos of both lights and the ceiling height to plan removal, assembly and ladder requirements.
