All hanging copper lamps are classified into the category of all-brass chandeliers. The main materials of all-copper chandelier are copper and brass. The characteristics of all-copper chandelier: good texture, high appreciation value and collection value, generally in line with the main trend of European copper lamps.


The all-copper chandelier, whether it is hung with wires or copper supports, should not be hung too short, obstructing people's normal vision or making people feel dazzling. Take the all-brass chandelier in the dining room as an example. The ideal height is to form a pool of light on the dining table, but it will not obstruct the sight of everyone on the table. The all-brass chandelier has been installed with springs or height adjusters, which can be suitable for different heights and needs.

All copper chandelier is suitable for living room and hotel lobby. There are many kinds of copper chandelier. There are two types of chandelier, single-head chandelier and multi-head chandelier. The former is mostly used in bedrooms and dining rooms, and the latter should be installed in the living room. The installation height of the all-copper chandelier should be at least 2.2 meters from the ground at its lowest point.


Maintenance and cleaning
It is best not to clean the copper chandelier with water. Just wipe it with a dry cloth dipped in water. If you accidentally touch the water, try to wipe it dry as much as possible. Don't wipe it with a wet cloth immediately after turning off the light, because the bulb will burst when exposed to water at high temperature. In addition, the copper chandelier must not be used in a house that is prone to moisture, which will easily cause the copper chandelier to fall off. And it should be checked frequently and irregularly.


installation
The large all-copper chandelier is installed on the structural layer, such as the floor, the lower chord of the roof truss and the beam. The small all-copper chandelier is often installed on the shelf or the reinforced joist. No matter a single all-copper chandelier or a combination of all-copper chandelier, It is produced by the lighting factory at one time, and the difference is the most. A single all-copper chandelier can be installed directly, and the combined all-copper chandelier should be installed after assembly or combined during installation. For large-area and strip-shaped lighting, light boxes and light racks suspended by booms are mostly used.

Material preparation before installation of copper chandelier

1) Construction materials: The commonly used materials are as follows.

①Wood (different specifications of water, wooden strips, water boards), aluminum alloy (plates, profiles), steel (section steel, flat steel, steel plate), mainly used as supporting members.

②Plastic, plexiglass board and glass are used as spacers, and exterior decorative veneers, heat dissipation boards and copper boards. Anodized aluminum plates are used as decorative components.

③Other accessories such as screws, nails, rivets, finished lamps, adhesives, etc.

2) Construction tools: pliers, screwdrivers, hammers, electric jig saws, electric hammers, hand markers, rulers, paint brushes, etc.

Structural layer connection

(1) Operation method: Mainly consider the connection of embedded parts and transition parts.

①Pre-embed iron or wooden bricks in the structural layer (except for the water brick load-bearing). The buried position should be accurate, and there should be enough room for adjustment.

②Set transition connecting pieces on the iron parts and wooden bricks to adjust the error of the parts, which can be nailed, welded and screwed through with the parts.

③The boom and sling are connected with the transition piece.

(2) Installation precautions: The following three points should be paid attention to during installation and construction.

① If there are multiple chandeliers during installation, pay attention to their position and length relationship. The chandeliers can be installed while the ceiling is installed, so that the position and height of the lights can be adjusted based on the ceiling joists.

②The suspenders can be directly drawn out of the ceiling and can be piped. The method of adding pipes is conducive to installation and can ensure the integrity of the ceiling panel. Only drill holes where the pipes need to be discharged. The hanging cup that comes out of the ceiling directly makes it difficult to align the holes on the board surface during installation. Sometimes it is possible to install the boom first and then cut off the panel to dig holes for installation, but it will affect the decorative effect.

③The boom should have a certain length of thread for adjusting the height. The light box is suspended under the sling boom, and attention should be paid to the reliability of the connection.

The history of copper lamps

The earliest form of fire discovery was an artificially illuminated campfire or torch used to illuminate an area. As early as 400,000 years ago, the fire was lit in the cave of the Beijingers. Prehistoric humans used primitive lamps to illuminate their surroundings. These lamps are made of naturally occurring substances such as rocks, shells, horns and stones, which are filled with grease and have an optical fiber core. Lamps usually use animal or vegetable fats as fuel. Hundreds of these lamps have been found in modern French Lascaux caves.

The lamp has evolved from bamboo, wood, iron, copper, jade, silver to pottery and porcelain, reflecting the evolution and development of texture.

With the development of human civilization, the materials of lamps and lanterns are constantly innovating. In China, the appearance of copper lamps can be traced back to the Bronze Age. Bronze ware was a status symbol at that time. At that time, the use of bronzes as lighting tools should only be enjoyed by nobles.

In the Warring States Period, bronze lamps were still used mostly for nobles. Because ceramic lamps are no different from traditional ceramic beans, they are often regarded as ceramic beans and are not classified as lamps. This type of lamp is used by the lower class, and the beautifully shaped jade lamp is a practical tool for the upper class.

In the middle and late Warring States period, copper-made multi-branch lamps (also known as tree-shaped lamps) appeared. The most representative one is the fifteen-branch lamp, which is shaped like a lush tree and supports fifteen lamps. The lamps are scattered. The branches are decorated with wandering dragons, songbirds, and monkeys, etc., with different moods and full of fun. The figurine lamp is the most representative artifact of the bronze lamp during the Warring States period. The figurines of these lamps are male and female, and they are mostly humble locals. The way to hold the light includes standing with arms outstretched and raising the light overhead; some sitting in a squat position with both hands stretched forward and holding the light in front. The lamp panel held by a figurine varies from one to three. The lamp plate has two shapes, ring groove shape and disc shape. The former has three braces, and the latter is mostly one brace. The imitated daily utensil-shaped lamps are basically the evolution of some practical utensils in life, mainly for the more common utensils such as imitating beans, ding and gui. Most of them are bean-shaped pottery lamps, but there are also some bronze lamps imitating the shape of ding and gui.

In the history of lamps and lanterns in China, the Changxin palace lanterns of the Western Han Dynasty are particularly representative. They were unearthed in the tomb of Dou Wan, the wife of Jing Wang Liu Sheng of Zhongshan, Mancheng County, Hebei Province in 1968. The lantern body of the palace lantern is a gilded palace lady sitting with her hands holding the lantern, with a calm and elegant look. The lamp body is 48 cm high and weighs 15.85 kg. The Palace Lantern Changxin Palace Lantern is very cleverly designed. The palace lady holds the lamp in one hand, and the sleeve of the other hand seems to be blocking the wind. It is actually a siphon to absorb oil fume, which not only prevents air pollution, but also has aesthetic value. This palace lantern was once placed in the Changxin Palace of the Queen Mother Dou (grandmother Liu Sheng) and is now in the Hebei Provincial Museum.

With the emergence of modern civilization, lamps are no longer simply lighting, but mostly decorative. Copper lamps are often ornaments with lighting functions in luxury places. At present, most of the domestic copper lamps are based on European styles.

Chinese copper lamps are produced in Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Dongguan, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and Changzhou, Jiangsu.
