Most of our apartments have lamp sockets in the ceiling (image 6), so your lamps need to have a compatible plug (image 7). The good news is you can usually install the lamps without any tools – just hang them from the ceiling hook.
Please note that the removal of the ceiling socket without the assistance of a qualified electrician is strictly prohibited. Please contact your building’s property supervisor in advance if you wish to proceed with this operation.
Some of our older apartments still have those old-school ceiling roses (image 8). Make sure the rose is securely attached to the ceiling cord. You can connect the lamp cords yourself, just remember to turn off the power first. Just insert the cords into the openings and tighten the screws. Doesn’t matter which cord goes where.
Some of our apartments also have fluorescent lamps in the kitchen and bathrooms (image 9). If the lamp starts blinking, it’s probably time to replace the igniter (image 10). Just gently press and turn the igniter to release it.

Let there be light! Just follow these tips and you’ll be shining bright in no time. 💡
🚫 IMPORTANT!
Please note that all other connections and electric installations are subject to licensing. If the tenant performs the work themselves, it is in violation of the regulations set forth by the authorities and may pose a life-threatening risk.
