17.7 How to finish the interior: Installation of light fixtures and lighting points

In the process of building a house, the interior finish is one of the most important parts and also one of the most anticipated, as it is where the house begins to take shape and really look like a home. One of the most important parts of interior finishing is the installation of light fixtures and lighting points. This guide will walk you through the process of installing fixtures and lighting spots in your home.

Planning

Before you begin installation, it's important to plan where you want the lights to be installed. This can depend on your home design, the type of lighting you want and where you need more light. For example, you might want recessed lights in the kitchen ceiling, pendant lights over the dining table, and task lights over the work area. It's also important to consider the amount of natural light the home receives and plan artificial lighting accordingly.

Light Fixture Choice

The choice of luminaires is another important aspect to consider. There are many different types of light fixtures available, from recessed lights to ceiling lights and pendant lights. The choice of light fixture will depend on the style of your home and the type of lighting you want. For example, if you want soft, diffused lighting, you can opt for ceiling lamps. If you want targeted lighting, you can opt for task lights or pendant lights.

Installation

Once you've planned where you want the lights and chosen the fixtures, it's time to start installing. Installing luminaires and lighting points can be complicated, so it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and, if necessary, hire a professional. Installation usually involves attaching the fixture to the ceiling or wall, connecting the wires and installing the bulb.

Security

It is important to remember that installing fixtures and lighting fixtures involves electricity, so taking safety precautions is essential. Always turn off power before beginning installation and use insulated tools. If you're not comfortable doing the installation yourself, it's always a good idea to hire a professional.

Final Considerations

Lights and light fixtures are a crucial part of your home's interior finish. They not only brighten up your home, but also add to your style and design. By carefully planning and installing your fixtures and lighting fixtures, you can ensure your home is well lit and attractive.

In summary, installing luminaires and spot lighting involves planning, choosing luminaires, installation and safety precautions. With the right planning and installation, you can create a home that is bright and attractive. Remember, lighting is a crucial part of your home's design, so take the time to plan and install your fixtures and lighting fixtures correctly.
