Why doesn't my lamp come with a plug?
Some households do not have ceiling sockets, but cables that go out from the wall or ceiling. A ceiling lamp is considered a fixed installation and must therefore not be delivered with a ready-made plug. If you feel unsure about how the installation should be done, we recommend that you contact a qualified electrician.
If it is a fixed installation, you connect the electrical cables directly to the "sugar cube" that comes with the lamp you bought from us. A sugar cube is a small coupling clamp where the lamp's cables are connected to the electricity in the ceiling.
Follow the assembly instructions on the lamp or from the matching lamp plug for a correct and safe installation. Consult with an electrician if you are unsure of the solution you have in your home.
