Attach a lamp without drilling!
Would you like to attach a lamp to the wall or ceiling but don't want to have to drill a hole? Here are great ideas and tips to keep your lighting shining effectively and not damaging your walls!
If you live in a rented apartment, the landlord doesn't like to see holes in the walls. When you move out, the apartment must be handed over in the same condition as when you moved in. This means that you have to restore all changes to their original state.
For example, a lamp that you have attached to a wall or ceiling with a dowel will of course leave an unsightly hole. Either you plaster it again or the landlord will deduct the repairs from your deposit.
A very strict landlord may generally prohibit drilling into walls and ceilings in the contract and of course that doesn't make it any easier to attach modern lamps. Ultimately, you want to hang a stylish pendant light above the dining table that illuminates the table optimally. The same applies to wall lights and chandeliers, which create a wonderful, light-filled atmosphere. Lamps in the bathroom, such as spotlights and ceiling lamps, also need to be securely attached.
In this article we will show you how this works without drilling a hole.
Why should you attach lamps without drilling?
There are several advantages to hanging lamps without drilling holes in walls.
Convenience and versatility! First and foremost, you remain more flexible in terms of the desired space or location where you want to install the lighting. Holes that already exist can either only be provided with a new light source, or you have to repair the existing hole. This often creates unsightly spots on the wall that will always be a thorn in your side.
The integrity of the wall is preserved! When drilling holes in a concrete wall, it will of course be damaged. In the long term, their stability also changes. Hanging your lamp without holes will protect the integrity of the wall and avoid unsightly marks. Old walls in particular are susceptible to damage. That's why it's sometimes better to choose alternative fastening methods.
Fixing a lamp is a clean affair without drilling! Drilling not only creates holes in the wall, but also rubble and dirt spread everywhere. If you install lamps without damaging the wall, it will definitely be cleaner and more efficient.
Drilling requires strength and the right know-how! It's not that easy to drill a precisely fitting hole for a lamp in the wall or ceiling without outside help. The hole has to be measured precisely and a drill has a lot of weight. You may need to drill the hole overhead and on a ladder. This requires strength and skill. Hanging lamps without drilling is easier and you don't have to be a craftsman to do it.
The best options for lamp installation without drilling
The lamp industry never sleeps and there are now clever systems for hanging lamps without drilling. For almost every type of wall and ceiling you will find modern lamp holders that are anchored to the wall using a pressure system and on which you can then hang your lamp.
Pressure systems for walls and ceilings
Depending on the type, hook suspensions, bayonet brackets and light plates serve as the perfect holder for your lighting. Advanced lamp suspensions have the advantage that they do not damage the ceiling or a wall and offer a suitable holder for every lamp.
You can replace your chandelier with a modern pendant light or swap out any different lighting to your heart's content. If you want to change yourself and your style, the furnishing style is often part of it. Because lamps are no longer just sources of light, but are definitely part of your inventory, you remain absolutely flexible with these innovative lamp holders.
Strips with power
Who doesn't know the good old adhesive strips from back in the day. But these can no longer be compared with today's viable strips. Today, so-called command strips from various providers not only hold pictures and mirrors on concrete walls, but also lamps in all variations. Of course, you should know the weight of the lamp you want to hang in order to use the appropriate strips. Strips are available for both heavy loads and small items.
More and more manufacturers are now producing hooks made of plastic or metal, which also have an adhesive surface. You can also easily hang the corresponding lamp models on these hooks.
Creative idea on how to install lamps without drilling
Why not hide lamps in plant arrangements? In greenhouses and beautiful gardens, lamps are often used as lighting and decoration for flowers or plants. The best thing about it is that there is a so-called symbiosis between the sophisticated lamps and the plants because the plant can carry out photosynthesis with the optimal amount of light. At the same time, your plant shines in the best light or is a magical eye-catcher for your rooms.
Technical innovation for lamp assembly
Rail systems are optimal lamp holders and can be used for large and small rooms, low and high ceilings and different types of lamps can be attached to them.
Round ceilings as well as edges and corners are brilliantly illuminated with these systems. Only a base serves as fastening and connection. This is clamped to the light rail, which supplies power to all lamps. You can attach any number of lamps to the rails and power them with just one power source.
Light rails can either be attached directly to the surface or you can simply hang them up. Using a set consisting of rods and cables, you can hang the rails at the desired height and attach the individual lamps to them.
Some rail models are attached using clips. You have to measure the few holes that you still need exactly, as the rails can no longer be moved flexibly. Of course, for the power supply you need a central energy source where the rails converge.
Chic and extravagant rail systems above a dining table immediately catch the eye. With modern Lamps from our range Use the complete system as an eye-catcher in every room. You can install as many rails as you want in a room and attach the lamps at the appropriate height. This system is ideal for large rooms with high ceilings. Instead of distributing several lamps haphazardly or uncoordinated on the ceiling, you can create first-class lighting effects and ensure balanced lighting with a chic and efficient track system.
Simply glue LED lamps
LED lamps are a real sensation! Many small lights can be easily attached anywhere without drilling a hole in the wall, corner or furniture. Because LEDs are very light, LED lamps are a great decoration and pleasant light source as fairy lights, as lights with decorative paper shades and as rope lights.
You can easily install LED lights with an adhesive holder in showcases or on a sideboard and ensure that your furnishings are skilfully showcased.
Modern LED lamps are available in numerous designs. There are innovative spotlights for ceilings in the kitchen or bathroom that are equipped with economical and safe LED lights. They are easily anchored using a click system without damaging the ceiling and provide sufficient light at the perfect angle.
You can hang entire networks of LED lights on the terrace and simply hang them from a beam or attach them to a corner pillar. LEDs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use because they are weatherproof and robust.
LED lamps are often very light in weight and can be attached to all furnishings, but of course also to ceilings and walls. All LED lights use significantly less energy in comparison. They are compatible with one technology and provide a lot of variance and flexibility. At the same time, they can easily be integrated into an existing smart home system and, for example, intelligently control dimmers, motion sensors and automatic timers.
