  1. Brass Chandelier Installation Tips It is very important to note that installing a brass chandelier on your own is not recommended, unless you have light fixture assembly and electrical component knowledge. If you don't have the electrical know- how, then it is recommended to call in the professionals to carry out your brass chandelier installation on your behalf, ensuring it is installed safely. Most brass chandeliers are hung in a similar manner. If you already have a chandelier in the home and you are replacing it with a new one, the task will be much faster and easier. This will simply involve removing the old one and replacing the new, using the existing wiring. If you are installing the lighting fixture for the very first time, it can be quite a complex process. Before you start, you are going to need a step ladder, your brass chandelier, electrical tape, flat-head screwdriver, wire stripper and tester, along with needle nose pliers. If you do want to do this as a DIY project and you feel confident that you can finish the project safely, it is recommended to have a second pair of hands to assist throughout the installation process. As you may have guessed by now, removing an old chandelier is not a project that can be completed by one person. You need someone at the base of the step ladder to handle the chandelier once you have removed it. Before removing your old chandelier, ensure you have turned off the electricity supply. Always test the electrical current to ensure that it is off, reducing the risk of you being shocked. Once the electricity is turned off, you will want to ensure that there is nothing under the chandelier that could be damaged when you remove it from the ceiling. Find the escutcheon, connected to the ceiling and remove the screws. This is what attaches your chandelier to the roof. Hold the chandelier throughout this process, reducing the risk of it smashing to the floor. Use your tester to double check the wires are not live before you continue. You can then unscrew the nuts that connects the wires to the power supply, separating the cables. Often you will find a ground wire connected to the junction box. Remove the chandelier safely with the assistance of your helper. You can now install your new brass chandelier. There are important factors to consider when it comes to the installation of a brass chandelier. The height is exceptionally important. The height plays a role in the functionality of the lighting fixture and it's decorative properties. The standard height is thirty five inches over a table for an eight foot ceiling for example. If your ceiling is higher than eight food, you need it three inches higher. When it comes to installing your brass chandelier, you want it to look good, but also work as a light source. The type of brace used to install your new chandelier is based on the existing features and the type of ceiling you have. Pancake style electrical boxes are mounted to the ceiling joist, helping you hang your brass chandelier with confidence. This looks good and the joist is able to hold a heavy item, such as a brass chandelier. Fan braces, on the other hand, were designed to hold ceiling fans and can be used for chandeliers. It can hold a chandelier up to one hundred and fifty pounds. For the installation, you repeat the removal process. As mentioned previously, if it is a new brass chandelier installation, it is recommended to hire a professional service provider to ensure your chandelier is installed safely.
