For a bit of class and elegance in any room, hang a chandelier with a side light fixture. Whether you want to improve your dining room, living room, or hallway, the right chandelier can make the room feel completely different. But the job might seem hard at first, especially if you haven’t done electrical work before. Do not be afraid! This step-by-step guide will help you put it in a way that is both safe and stylish.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the necessary materials to make the installation process smoother. You’ll need:

• Chandelier with side light fixture
• Ladder
• Circuit tester
• Screwdriver
• Wire stripper
• Wire nuts
• Electrical tape
• Ceiling medallion (optional)
• Adjustable wrench
• Wire connectors
• Mounting bracket
• Ceiling anchors (if necessary)
• Screws
• Pliers
• Safety glasses

Step 1: turn off the power

Your safety should always come first. At the circuit switch, turn off the power to the light fixture before you do any work. Make sure the power is off again with a circuit tester before moving on.

Step 2: Pick the Right Place

Pick out the spot on the ceiling where you want the chandelier to go. Make sure it fits in with the style of the room and goes with the general design.

Step 3: Put the mounting bracket in place

Use a mounting bracket that is right for the type of ceiling you have (vaulted, normal, etc.). Use screws to attach it to the roof, making sure it stays in place. If you need more support, you can use ceiling supports.

Step 4: Hook up the wires

Carefully follow the instructions that came with the light to connect the wires. Most of the time, you’ll connect the neutral and hot wires after the ground wire. For extra safety, use wire nuts to hold the links together and electrical tape to cover them.

Step 5: Put the chandelier up.

Get a family member or friend to help you lift the chandelier and hang it on the chain. Before you tighten any screws, make sure it is flat. For extra style, some lights come with a ceiling medallion that can be put in place.

Step 6: Adjust the Height

Change the Height Figure out what height you want your chandelier to be. Take into account things like the room’s size and ceiling height when adjusting the length of the chain or line. With pliers, cut off any extra rods or links.

Step 7: Put the side light fixture in place

If your chandelier comes with a side light, put it in by following the directions that came with it. This could mean adding more lines and securing the fixture to the frame of the chandelier.

8. Test and make sure it’s safe

Make sure the chandelier is firmly in place by tightening all the screws. After making sure everything is safe, turn the power back on and make sure the chandelier and side light fixture work properly.

Step 9: Make any last changes

Take a step back and look at how your chandelier looks as a whole. Make any last changes you need to in terms of height or placement to get the look you want. If you need to, you can fix up any loose parts with an adjustable wrench.

Step 10: Have fun with your new lights

Now that the work is done, take a moment to enjoy the warm glow of your new chandelier with a side light. Get your family and friends to come see how beautiful your space looks now.
