Determine the arrangement of the spotlights for an authentic starry sky effect. Use creativity for personalized designs.
Installation
-
Panel Preparation: Use a 13mm drill bit to drill the plasterboard according to the layout chosen for your starry sky effect LEDs .
-
Inserting the Spotlights: Place the mini LED spots in the holes. Make sure your LED starry sky kit is adequate for the desired effect. The 13mm holes guarantee a perfect fit.
-
Electrical Wiring: Wiring must be done in parallel, using electrical connection caps to ensure secure connections. Route all connections to the transformer.
-
Assembly and Finishing: Fix the panel to the ceiling and proceed with painting for an aesthetically pleasing result.
Variant with Dimmer
Adding a dimmer between the power supply and the spotlights allows you to adjust the intensity of the light of your LED starry sky , offering the possibility of creating the perfect atmosphere at all times.
Necessary material

Tips for a Safe Installation
When creating your LED starry sky, it is essential to pay attention to detail to avoid inconveniences. Here are some tips to ensure your installation goes smoothly:
-
Pay Attention to Polarity: Make sure you do not reverse the polarity when connecting the LED spotlights to the power supply. An incorrect connection can cause damage to the spotlights. Remember: the red wire is the positive and must be connected to the positive pole of the 12V power supply, while the black wire is the negative and must be connected to the negative pole.
-
Correct Connection to the Power Supply: It is essential to correctly identify the 220V input and the 12V output of the power supply. An error at this stage could compromise the entire system.
-
Using the Dimmer: If you decide to add a dimmer to adjust the intensity of the light, carefully follow the connection diagram provided in the instructions. The dimmer has a 12V input, which must be connected to the power supply output, and a 12V output for the spotlights. Furthermore, the physical button for turning on, off and dimming must be connected to the designated terminals on the dimmer.
-
Positioning of the Power Supply: To facilitate future maintenance or replacement in the event of a fault, place the power supply in an easily accessible place. This will allow you to intervene quickly without having to dismantle complex parts of the installation.
By following these tips, you will be able to enjoy your LED starry sky without worries, creating a magical and safe atmosphere in your room.
