How Do You Hang Outdoor Sphere Lights?

Outdoor sphere lights are a popular choice for adding ambience and style to outdoor settings, from patios to gardens. Installing outdoor sphere lights is an easy task that can be done in a couple of different ways. This article will discuss the two main methods for hanging outdoor sphere lights.

Drilling into the Wall or Ceiling

The first method involves drilling into the surface on which you wish to hang your sphere lights. This is typically done on walls or ceilings, but can also be used on furniture or other solid surfaces. To begin, you will need to mark where you plan to drill and make sure it’s level.

If you are hanging multiple spheres, use a measuring tape and a level to ensure they are all evenly spaced. Once your holes have been marked, use a drill bit that is slightly larger than the screws that came with your sphere lights. Drill slowly and do not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the surface.

Attaching Hooks and Chains

The second method involves attaching hooks and chains to mount your sphere lights from the ceiling or wall. Begin by attaching hooks into the ceiling or wall where you want your light fixtures to hang.

Make sure that the hooks are securely fastened and that there is enough room between each hook for your chain links. Once the hooks have been installed, attach chains of varying lengths from each hook so that all of your lamps hang at different heights.

Conclusion

Hanging outdoor sphere lights is an easy task that can be completed with either drilling into walls or ceilings or by attaching hooks and chains to hang them from above. Both methods require careful planning and measurement in order for them to look their best.
