Hi all! I have purchased this lamp from Ekotori and I wanted to fit it on the ceiling (pictures attached). Did I mess up? Any ideas on how to secure a lamp like this to a hook like that?
Thanks in advance!
Take out the screw in the middle of the cover. Beneath should be two other screws which match the holes in your lamp
Theres no hook in your lamp, you’re supposed to drill some holes in the ceiling and screw it in those. So either get a new lamp or get to drilling, brrrrrrrrrr
1. There should be a screw right next to the hook. Unscrew it to take out the plastic cover
2. Undeneath the cover should be a crossbar that the hook and plug socket are attached to. Remove it
3. Disconnect the wiring for the plug socket and connect it to the lamp you bough. You’re techically supposed to hire an eletrican to do this, but barely anyone follows that advice.
4. You should be able to attach the lamp to where the crossbar was that you removed on step 2.
You can do steps 3 and 4 in reverse order if you have enough room to rewire the the lamp when it is attached to the ceiling.
Maybe someone could make a sticky post with a tutorial on how to mount lamps. Seems like people ask quite regularly.
