Whether fixed or adjustable, dimmable (dimmable) or not, The LED spot quickly replaces old Lights such as halogen. It is now the essential accessory to create a design and elegant lighting. The set blends easily into the decor and arises in a few simple steps.

Find your LED spot:

If you have not found the right model yet, here is a selection of LED Lights. You can also find out more about the calculation to determine how many spot LEDs per m2 you need. Once your spot is found, you must choose the locations. If generally the Lights are installed in line with fixed or staggered spacing’s, it is interesting to break these lines to avoid a too linear design. For example, you can create a set of 4 Lights in squares above a table or add a spot ready for a table or an item to highlight. You can also play on the spacing between Lights to create more or less screened / illuminated lighting environments.

Here's how to connect a LED Lights

The necessary equipment:

Before setting up your LED Lights, make sure you have the following tools and accessories:

  • ·         LED Lights
  • ·         2 or 3 wire electrical connection terminals
  • ·         Junction box
  • ·         A hole saw according to the mounting diameter, the LED recessed bracket
  • ·         Cutting pliers to cut the electric cable
  • ·         A wire stripper to strip the ends of the cables
  • ·         A pencil
  • ·         One meter
  • ·         Cutting and drilling



Attention, before drilling it is important to turn off the power!!

Once this precaution is taken you can draw pencil crosses where the Lights will be installed. Pay attention to the placement of these so as not to encounter any pipes or electrical conduits. You can then drill directly into the ceiling where you have located the holes. If your spot has a transformer you can put it in a junction box, for example, to prevent it from contacting the insulation. This avoids heating and guarantees a longer life. Finally, check that you have enough ceiling height to install the spot.

LED spot installation:

Once the holes are drilled, we can proceed to the installation of the LED Lights. In this step, the LED Lights must be electrically connected and then recessed. For this, it is best to start with the spot having the 230V power supply. It must be connected via the socket or the driver and using 3P connection terminals (placed in a junction box), then pass the ducts to the next hole in order to realize an electrical network. Once this step did you can embed the spot. Usually, it is enough to raise the springs, to pass the spot in the hole and it is embedded directly.

Test the installation:

Once all the Lights connected you can turn the power back on and test the installation. In the event of a problem, you can test the installation (after turning off the power) by starting from the first spot and gradually connecting to the last spot.
The downlight LED ceiling is ideal for living rooms (living room, kitchen, and bathroom, bedrooms) to create a modern look. These Lights connect directly to the 220V network and install easily; they perfectly replace the old energy-consuming halogen Lights. Generally, a 5W LED Lights can replace a conventional halogen 50W is saving more than 80% on your electricity bill.

The lighting of a garden and a terrace

The lighting of a garden and a terrace The technological evolution of LED lighting has led to the creation of a new range of outdoor lighting: mini spot, Lights, stud, and terminal, stake ... All these devices can be implemented to give an original and modern character to your outdoors. Here are our tips for lighting a garden. Make a light mark: The luminous markings correspond to the delimitation of a path, the body of water or terrace with the help of very discreet and weak light point (less than 1W LED). In order to be successful, several points are to be determined: What is the maximum diameter of the desired light point? The smallest Lights have outside diameters of less than 30mm, they make it possible to obtain a point of light as discreet as possible and have limited luminous power for a markup/decoration only. Example of a small recessed spot Larger exterior Lights up to 80mm offer higher light output (up to 2.5W LEDs). What spacing between the light

How many LED Lights or bulbs for a room?

How many LED Lights or bulbs for a room? When you want to size or change the lighting, one of the first questions that arise is to determine the number of light points needed. The idea is to find how many Lights to install on the ceiling or per m². Determine the number of Lights using lux In order to reliably calculate the number of LED Lights per room, we advise you to use the luminance that is expressed in lux. Lux is the unit of measure for luminance (symbol: lx). It characterizes the luminous flux received per unit area (1 lux = 1 lumen / m²) A lux is the illumination of a surface that receives, in a uniformly distributed way, a luminous flux of one lumen per square meter. We also have an equivalence between the bulbs. You can quickly determine the number of lux you need according to the type of room, using the following table given by the standard NF EN 12464-1 How to calculate the total brightness to bring? When you have determined the luminance in lux ac
