How to change a light bulb in a hanging ceiling

If you know the principle of fixing the lamp in the suspended structures, can be easily replaced. There are three types of fixing lamps, the most difficult of which - pins.

Instruction

1. The ceiling, illuminated by spotlights, looks very impressive. But no light is not eternal, so periodically they have to change. If ceiling mounted independently, this procedure is not difficult, and those who used the services of builders, you need to know the details of this process.
2. First of all, it should be understood that in suspended ceilings used three types of bulbs: halogen, conventional or energy-saving incandescent lamps, led. Last equipped with spotlights, as they are more reliable and durable.
3. There are three types of mounting lamps: traditional (with right-hand thread for standard cartridges for incandescent bulbs), two-pin (bulb is held by two metal rails, which, after it clicks hold it in the desired position), using a special cartridge (for complete fixation of the lamp you have to turn it 90*).
4. The easiest way to replace the bulb that is in the cartridge. For this it is necessary to rotate counterclockwise. But first the bulb must-see: if it is energy saving, it is not necessary to exert strong pressure, you need to work very carefully and slowly. If the lamp on the ceiling looks like a smooth surface within which there is some cones, then is a halogen element. It usually is attached with two pins and replace it harder.
5. Before starting, you need to disable the power supply in the room, and plate. Then you need to ensure the safety of: preparing the surface on which you will have to stand. It must be resistant and of sufficient size. Replacing the lamp in the suspended structures requires extreme carefulness and slowness in the movements, as it is possible to inadvertently damage the finish or mirror finish (for rack systems).
6. With pin mount starts with the unlocking of the locking mechanism of the lamp. For this purpose there is a special ring that is made of a thin but resilient metal wire. Holding the body of the lamp, you need to bend a banana ring to unlock the bulb. Then it should be removed and replaced make sure that the new corresponds to a blown power. You can use another way to pry a flat object (like a screwdriver with a thin blade) luminaire housing and remove it. Afterwards, you'll need to remove the bulb itself.
