Hanging a lamp from the ceiling

The best way to hang lamps from the ceiling is with a fixing and a screw hook. But: Room ceilings are sometimes made of hard concrete and working above your head makes the job even more difficult. 

How to proceed:

Make sure that there are no cables or pipes behind the location where you plan to drill. For this purpose we recommend using a  
metal finder
.

When drilling above your head, it is easy for dust to fall into your eyes. For this reason, always where protective glasses to protect your eyes from falling dust. 

Make sure that you have a stable standing position.

Switch on the impact mechanism and choose the maximum speed.

Apply strong pressure while drilling.

To make a larger fixing hole, first drill a smaller hole with a smaller drill bit (diameter 4 mm), then use a large drill bit (diameter 6 mm) to complete the hole.

Insert the fixing, screw in the hook, and hang the lamp.

 

Equipment required:

First, you'll need a Bosch impact drill (the more powerful the drill as measured in watts, the faster you'll be able to drill) or a Bosch rotary hammer. In addition: 
Masonry drill bit
(4 and 6 mm diameters), appropriate 
plastic fixing (4 and 6 mm diameters) and corresponding screw hooks (see the manufacturer's specifications on the fixing's packaging).
