What You Need to Know Before Installing
Installing a ceiling cup cable for a pendant light is a straightforward process, but the right components make the difference between a clean, safe installation and a frustrating one. This guide walks through the steps using the Ceiling Cup Cable, PRO, black and the Cable Kit, black with on/off switch — both from Nuura. The ceiling cup is designed for mounting lamps in a ceiling rose, while the cable kit adds a convenient on/off switch for wall-mounted fixtures. Before starting, confirm your power is off at the circuit breaker and that your ceiling structure supports the fixture weight.

Step-by-Step Installation Process
Follow these steps to install the ceiling cup cable. Work carefully and consult a licensed electrician if you are unsure about any electrical connection.
- 1. Prepare the Ceiling Outlet: Turn off power at the breaker. Remove the existing ceiling rose or cover plate. Identify the live, neutral, and ground wires. Ensure the outlet box is securely fastened to the ceiling joist.
- 2. Mount the Ceiling Cup: Feed the pendant light's wire through the Ceiling Cup Cable, PRO, black. Position the cup over the outlet box. Secure it with the provided screws (not included in the supplied information — use standard ceiling rose screws). The cup's black finish will sit flush against the ceiling.
- 3. Connect the Wiring: Match the fixture wires to the house wires: black (live) to black, white (neutral) to white, and green/bare (ground) to ground. Use wire nuts for secure connections. Tuck the wires neatly into the ceiling cup.
- 4. Attach the Pendant Light: Hang the pendant light from the ceiling cup's hook or bracket (if present). If your pendant uses a different attachment method, follow the fixture's instructions. The cup's cable should hang straight without kinks.
- 5. Install the Cable Kit (If Needed): For wall-mounted lamps like the Miira Wall or Liila Wall, the Cable Kit with on/off switch connects between the lamp and the wall outlet. Thread the kit's cable through the lamp's base, then connect to the wall wiring. The switch gives you easy on/off control without reaching for a plug.
- 6. Test and Secure: Restore power and test the light. If using the cable kit switch, verify it toggles the lamp correctly. Once confirmed, secure all screws and ensure the ceiling cup is tight against the ceiling.
When to Choose Each Component
The Ceiling Cup Cable, PRO, black is the standard choice for a hardwired ceiling installation where the pendant hangs directly from the ceiling rose. Its black finish suits modern interiors and helps the cup disappear visually. The Cable Kit with on/off switch is an optional add-on for specific wall lamps — it's not a ceiling cup replacement. Use it when your wall lamp lacks a switch or when you want local control without a wall dimmer. Note that the cable kit is confirmed compatible only with Miira Wall, Apiales Wall, Liila Small, Medium, Large, Liila Muuse, and Sasi Wall lamps.
