This guide provides general installation notes for drilling and mounting bracket systems to ensure safe and stable fixture support. Since mounting plates and structural designs may vary across different lighting models, exact hole positions should always be determined according to the actual hardware provided with each product. Before installation, carefully verify the bracket structure and ensure all anchors or fasteners are properly selected and securely installed. All fixing points should be fully seated and flush with the mounting surface to guarantee proper load-bearing performance and long-term safety.
I. Pre-Installation Essentials
Wall Requirements
Install on solid brick or concrete. NO hollow bricks or gypsum boards. Ensure wall flatness within 0.5mm error.
Drilling Specs
Confirm bracket hole positions before drilling. Sizes vary by fixture. Each ceiling plate requires specific measurement for alignment.
Safety Load
Standard Duty: ≤15kg. Heavy Duty: 30-50kg. Fix every 40-50cm. Double-person install required for large appliances.

IV. Standardized Installation Steps
- Marking: Use a spirit level to ensure horizontal alignment. Mark hole centers based on the actual product received.
- Drilling: Drill vertically. Clear dust and insert expansion anchors.
- Fixing: Align the plate and drive screws. Fine-tune for levelness before tightening.
- Sealing: Use sealant in wet areas (kitchen/bath) or shims for uneven surfaces.
- Testing: Shake manually to ensure zero movement before loading weight.
V. Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Mounting on hollow walls / gypsum boards
✅ Solution: Must use reinforcement studs or back-boards first.
❌ Ignoring leveling (visual estimation)
✅ Solution: Always use a spirit level to prevent uneven stress.
❌ No expansion gap in humid areas
✅ Solution: Leave 6mm gap to prevent thermal expansion warping.
