How heavy can my pendant light be and which ceiling is it suitable for?

This is the maximum weight your pendant light can be for the corresponding ceiling type.

First of all: almost every light from our s.luce brand is light enough to be mounted on almost all standard ceilings. Regardless of whether it is plasterboard (lightweight construction), wood or concrete. An average modern multiple pendant light from the s.luce Ring, Orb, Sphere, Fairy, Progress or Atom series weighs no more than 3-5 kg ​​and is therefore well below the maximum load capacity.

• A ceiling mount that is attached to a wooden ceiling should be secured with at least the same screws that are intended for use in wood and should be able to withstand a load of at least 15kg .
• A ceiling fixture attached to a plasterboard should at least be made using screws and dowels designed for use in plasterboard and capable of supporting a load of at least 10kg .
• It is important to ensure that the lamp and the attachment are at least as heavy or heavier than the lamp itself.
• Concrete : A lamp that is fixed to a concrete ceiling should at least be made with screws and anchors that are specifically designed for use in concrete. Such a fixing should be able to support a load of at least 20 kg .

It is important to note that there may be local regulations regulating the maximum load capacity of luminaires in certain buildings (hospitals, etc.) or regions. It is recommended to contact a qualified electrician to ensure that the lamp is properly installed and connected to the existing power supply.The suspension formula:

The number of cables and the cross-section in mm² determine the maximum weight of the luminaire in kg.

2x0.75 = 2.2 kg

2x1 = 3.0 kg

3x0.75 = 3.4 kg

3x1 = 4.5 kg

Hold everywhere: s.luce multiple pendant light combinations.

The pendant light combinations from s.luce can be used almost anywhere. Thanks to the lightweight multiple canopies and very light light bodies, there is hardly a type of ceiling on which they cannot be mounted.

Whether wood, plaster or concrete, easy lamp installation is guaranteed here.

If you have any questions, we will also support your electricians with the implementation and provide information on all s.luce lamps and lights. This way you are always 100% on the safe side!

Instructions for installing your pendant light.

If you are looking to install a new lamp or light fixture on your ceiling, there are some important factors to consider, particularly the weight of the lamp and the type of ceiling.

The weight of the lamp is crucial because it determines the maximum load capacity of the fixture. A lightweight pendant lamp can easily be attached to a plasterboard or wooden ceiling.

While a heavier lamp may require special fixtures or even a separate power supply. It is important to consider the maximum weight of the lamp that the fixture can support and ensure it is not exceeded.

The type of ceiling also plays an important role in how the lamp is attached. Wooden ceilings usually require a larger amount of screws and anchors than plasterboard ceilings to support the weight of the lamp.

It is recommended to use screws and anchors specifically designed for use in wood or plasterboard to ensure that the fixings hold properly.

Mounting a heavier lamp on a ceiling that is not strong enough to support it can pose a safety risk and could cause damage to the ceiling or even injury. It is therefore important to carefully consider the type of ceiling and the weight of the lamp to ensure that the mounting is safe and stable.

There are also other aspects to consider, such as the maximum load capacity of the power cable and the maximum power that the luminaire and fixture can handle. A qualified electrician can help you choose the correct fixture and wiring and ensure that the installation is carried out correctly.

In summary, it is important to consider the weight of the lamp and the type of ceiling when mounting luminaires and lamps to ensure that the fixing is secure.
