Introduction

LED panel lights offer better light quality and lower energy bills than traditional tube lights. Installing them isn't complicated — but electrical work demands respect for safety. Follow this guide carefully and turn off power at the breaker before you start.

Estimated Cost:₹800 – ₹3,500 per panel

Safety First

Turn off the circuit breaker before touching any wiring. Use a voltage tester to confirm power is off. Never work on live wires.

Step-by-Step Guide

01

Turn off power and plan layout

Switch off the relevant circuit breaker and verify with a voltage tester. Measure your ceiling and mark panel positions. Ensure each panel location has access to the wiring from the existing ceiling rose or junction box.

02

Install the mounting frame

Hold the mounting frame against the ceiling, mark drill points, and drill with a 6mm bit. Insert plastic anchors and screw the frame securely. The panel should sit flush when dropped in.

03

Run and connect the supply wire

Route a 1.5mm wire from the nearest junction box to the panel location. Strip 10mm of insulation from each wire end. Connect Live (red) to Live, Neutral (black) to Neutral, and Earth (green/yellow) to Earth using wire connectors. Never reverse Live and Neutral.

04

Mount the LED panel

Connect the driver (the small box inside the panel) to the supply wires if it's a separate unit. Snap or screw the panel into the mounting frame. Ensure the panel sits flat and flush.

05

Test and commission

Turn the breaker back on and switch on the light. Check for even illumination across the panel. If the light flickers, recheck the connections — usually a loose neutral. Seal any ceiling gaps around the frame with white caulk.

All done!
