    I'm a woman and I don't know anything about electricity. I bought 3 lamps, the photo of which I paste below. My husband said that we only have one cable in the ceiling and that he can only install one and I want three next to each other.
    How to do it without cutting the ceiling after renovation? The lamps are flimsy.
    Is it possible to connect some special strip mounted to the ceiling?

    A strip can be used to route and mask cables or be mounted on a surface.

    The solution will be to buy or make a ceiling rosette.

    Can be installed easily. But there's the matter of aesthetics...

    The most aesthetic solution without forging the ceiling would be to replace the lamp with one light source with a triple lamp.

    If you don't know anything about electricity, hire an electrician. If you do not want to employ, first unscrew the fuse from the lighting, or if you have an overcurrent switch, turn it off, use a meter or a neon lamp to check the lack of voltage on the phase wire (brown or black). You will need a cable to connect (depending on whether you have a 2 or 3-wire installation) and now you connect 1 lamp to the cube in the ceiling and a cable to 2 lamps (the safest color is L for black or brown, N for blue and PE for yellow-green) in the second lamp you add a cube (the orange one) and connect it again, as in the first and in the next lamp again. I am not responsible for improper connection and possible death on the ladder :)

    Such, triple lamps are ready in stores.

Topic summary

To connect three lamps to a single ceiling cable without cutting into the ceiling, several solutions were proposed. Users suggested using a cable routing strip or a ceiling rosette to manage and conceal the wiring. An aesthetic option is to replace the existing lamp with a triple lamp fixture. For those with basic electrical knowledge, a step-by-step connection method was outlined, emphasizing safety precautions such as turning off the power and using appropriate wiring colors. It was also noted that ready-made triple lamps are available in stores.
