How to Quickly Install LED Downlights Using Plug Bases?

Installing LED downlights has never been faster or easier, thanks to the use of plug bases. At Green LED, we provide high-quality plug bases and LED downlights to ensure a quick and hassle-free installation process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you save time and achieve professional results.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials

Step 2: Measure and Mark the Installation Points

Determine where you want your downlights installed. Use a measuring tape to evenly space the lights, avoiding beams or obstructions. Mark each spot with a pencil for easy reference.

Step 3: Cut the Holes

Use a hole saw to cut openings at the marked points. Ensure the size matches the specifications of your LED downlights. For our 10W Dimmable LED Downlights, we recommend the hole saw size at 92mm to 98mm.

Step 4: Install the Plug Base

Connect the plug base socket to the existing wiring. Plug bases are specifically designed to save time, allowing you to securely connect wires in minutes. Once installed, the plug base streamlines future replacements by eliminating the need for rewiring.

Step 5: Plug and Insert the Downlight

Attach the LED downlight’s NZ-standard plug to the installed plug base. This plug-and-play design significantly reduces installation time. Insert the downlight into the ceiling hole, ensuring a snug fit, and adjust as needed.

Step 6: Test the Lights

Switch on the power and test your new downlights. Thanks to the speed and simplicity of plug bases, you’ll have your lights up and running in no time.
