1 Remove several points of light from one step by step
By following these steps, you will be able to extract several points of light from one in an organized and safe way, thus improving the lighting of your space according to your specific needs!
Plan the light points
Before you begin, determine the exact location of each new light point. Consider the layout of the space and the lighting needs in each area.
Fixes the junction boxes and luminaires
Install junction boxes at each planned location for the new light points. Be sure to also secure the fixtures in place, if necessary, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Fix the PVC gutters to the light points
Use PVC trunking to guide the wiring from the existing light point to the new light points. Fix them properly along walls or ceilings to ensure a neat and safe installation.
Pass the wiring through one of the light points
Carefully run the electrical wiring through one of the existing light points until you reach the area where the new light points will be installed. Of course: make sure to leave enough length of cable to connect each light point.
Make the connections and splices of the light points
Make the necessary electrical connections in each junction box to connect the cables to the luminaires. Follow electrical safety regulations and be sure to make splices properly and safely.
Configure the central register or junction box
In a convenient location, set up a central junction box or junction box where you can connect all your cables neatly and securely. Be sure to properly label each connection to facilitate future maintenance.
Connect the wires to the switch
Finally, connect the cables of the new light points to the corresponding switch. Carefully check all connections and make sure the switch is working properly before completing the installation.
