The wiring is cleaned and trimmed. Be sure to leave about 5 cm for connection to the main electrical cable. All joints must be carefully covered with insulating tape.

The frame branches are screwed into the fittings, and the wires are routed in accordance with the requirements of safety standards.

The main cable is placed in the main tube. The entire structure is attached to the ceiling and is adjustable. After all fastenings and connections have been checked, you can screw the light bulbs into the sockets and turn on the current.
