Learn how to connect the Perifo L-shaped ceiling base kit with 3 pendants for your kitchen. Step-by-step guide with tips to avoid common mistakes.

Quick answer

Connect the Perifo L-shaped ceiling base kit by first mounting the power supply unit, then attaching the rails in an L configuration, and finally clipping the three pendants onto the track.

What you need to know before starting

The Perifo L-shaped ceiling base kit includes three cylinder spotlights, three 59.1-inch rails, a power supply unit that sits between two rails, and connectors to create an L shape that turns to the left. This kit is designed for flexible kitchen lighting, but the orientation of the L is fixed to the left. If your room layout requires a right turn, you may need to flip the entire assembly or consider a different configuration.

Ensure your ceiling has a nearby power outlet and that the mounting surface can support the weight of the track and pendants. The kit does not include a dimmer switch; dimming is controlled via the Philips Hue app or a compatible smart hub.

Step-by-step connection guide

  1. Mount the power supply unit (PSU): Attach the PSU to the ceiling at your desired starting point. The PSU must sit between two rails, so position it where your first straight section will begin. Common mistake: Forgetting to run the power cable through the PSU before mounting, which means you have to unmount it.
  2. Attach the first rail to the PSU: Slide one of the 59.1-inch rails into the PSU connector until it clicks. Ensure the rail is level. Common mistake: Not fully engaging the connector, causing the rail to sag or detach later.
  3. Add the L-shaped connector and second rail: Clip the L-shaped connector to the free end of the first rail. Then attach the second rail to the connector, making sure the L turns to the left. Common mistake: Forcing the connector onto the rail backwards—the L shape only fits one way. Double-check the L orientation before securing the connector; it cannot be reversed without disassembly.
  4. Complete the L with the third rail: Attach the third rail to the other end of the L connector, completing the L shape. The rail should extend away from the PSU in the new direction. Common mistake: Leaving a gap between the connector and rail, which can cause electrical connection issues.
  5. Clip the three pendants onto the track: Snap each cylinder spotlight onto the rail at your desired positions. They can slide along the track for adjustment. Common mistake: Positioning a pendant directly over a connector, which may block the connection point or cause an unstable fit. Space pendants at least 6 inches away from connectors for best stability.
  6. Connect power and test: Plug the PSU into a wall outlet and turn on the circuit. Use the Philips Hue app to pair each spotlight. Common mistake: Forgetting to reset the lights before pairing if they were previously used.
