This is a page for testing purposes

On this page we will have three texts to test how translations work for our various languages. One text is in a Lightswing context. The second one is with the use of words coming from our glossary, but in a more generic setting. The third bit is a stress test with a lot of repetitions etc. to see if that also still works as supposed.

Good luck with translating and testing!

A testing text in Lightswing® context

The Lightswing® suspension system is designed to create flexibility around your light point. Whether you install a Pendant light or multiple Pendant lights, the system adapts easily to your interior.

The Lightswing® Single, Lightswing® Twin, and Lightswing® Zero are mounted using a solid base plate and the sturdy mounting ring. It is available in the colors White, Black, Burgundy, Cobblestone and Stainless steel. The names of these colors are White, Black, Burgundy, Cobblestone and Stainless steel. Spareparts such as the cover caps and mounting ring are also availble in white, black, burgundy, cobblestone and stainless steel. The Installation and Mounting process is explained step by step in the Instruction manual. Always switch off the Mains electricity supply before connecting the Light cable, Neutral wire, Switch wire, and Earthing wire in the junction box.

Use the supplied Drilling template to mark the Drill holes. Secure the system with the correct Screw, Screws, Screw eye, or Screw eyes, depending on the ceiling type. The Attachment point and Connection point ensure a stable setup, while the Strain relief protects the cable from tension.

The Suspension system is suitable for different lighting types, such as a Bar pendant light, a Linear pendant light, or a Pendant light with multiple lamps. Height adjustment is possible using the Steel wire, Chain, Sliding nuts, and the Levelling foot or Levelling feet.

With the Slide range and Turn range, you can control both the Slide and the Turn of your lamp. Integrated turn-through protection prevents cable damage during rotation. The Quick Release makes it easy to Change or replace your light fixture.

The mounting plate is covered with matching Cover caps, and the Cutout is neatly concealed. For alignment, follow the Red arrow mark during installation.

Available finishes include Matt white, Matt black, Brushed Stainless Steel, Black, Natural, Dusty pink, and Dusty green.
Thanks to its universal Adapter and Terminal block or Terminal blocks, the system is compatible with most ceiling connections.

A testing text in a more generic context

In modern cities, there are many light points in public spaces. On the streets, these light points often take the form of street lighting or a suspended pendant light above a pedestrian area. In cafés and libraries, designers sometimes choose pendant lights or a linear pendant light to create a calm atmosphere.

Before any construction work starts, workers usually prepare a drilling template and mark the drill holes. Each attachment point and connection point must be clearly defined. A solid base plate is often used as a starting point, after which a mounting ring or other mounting solution is added during the installation phase.

In many buildings there is a central junction box where the mains electricity supply enters. Inside, you may find a terminal block or several terminal blocks that organize cables such as a neutral wire, switch wire, earthing wire, and a general light cable. For safety, a strain relief is applied so cables cannot move freely.

In supermarkets, the concept of terminal blocks is also used in a different way: these are areas where customers go to a scanning terminal to self‑scan groceries. The word connection here refers more to people than to electricity.

Outdoor installations often use metal components like steel wire, screw, screws, screw eye, or screw eyes. Protective elements such as cover caps, a cover, or a cutout help prevent dust or damage. Clear visual instructions, like a red arrow mark, support correct placement.

Some systems allow movement within a defined slide range or turn range. You can slide panels or turn elements manually, sometimes with turn-through protection to prevent wear. A quick release mechanism makes it easy to change or remove parts when needed.

Height differences in floors or furniture are compensated with a levelling foot or multiple levelling feet. Hanging elements may use a chain or adjustable hooks, depending on the suspension system used.

These components appear in many environments, from warehouses to homes, from theatres to offices. A bar pendant light, a pendant light with multiple lamps, or a simple ceiling fixture all rely on similar principles of structure, balance, and safety.

In terms of appearance, materials and colors matter. Common options include matt white, matt black, brushed stainless steel, black, or natural finishes. Softer tones such as dusty pink or dusty green are also increasingly popular in interior design.

For anyone new to technical setups, an instruction manual is essential. Clear steps, diagrams, and explanations help users discover now what is possible with everyday components and how familiar terms can have different meanings depending on the context.

Stress test text

STRESS-TEST TEXT (EN) — mixed context, repeated terms, varied structure
1) Places, people, and “light points”
On the streets there are many light points; a light point can be a streetlight, a sign, or a pendant light above a door.
In a museum, a pendant light can be art; in a kitchen, pendant lights can be practical.
A bar pendant light looks different from a linear pendant light, yet both are “pendant” and both are “light”.
A pendant light with multiple lamps is still one pendant light, but it has multiple lamps.
2) Technical words used in non-technical places
In a supermarket there are terminal blocks: blocks of terminals where you scan items. A terminal block is not always electrical.
In a warehouse you might see a junction box label on a storage box near a junction; the word box can be literal or technical.
In a library, an instruction manual can be a manual about instruction, not about electricity.
“Discover now” can be a marketing phrase, or a button: Discover now.
3) Electrical context (but still generic)
Before you touch the mains electricity supply, stop. The supply is mains; the electricity is electricity.
A junction box can contain a terminal block, or several terminal blocks.
Inside: a neutral wire, a switch wire, an earthing wire, and a light cable.
The wire can be steel wire outside, and the cable can be a light cable inside.
Use strain relief: the strain is reduced; the relief is safety.
4) Installation and mounting (repeat on purpose)
Installation is not the same as mounting, but installation often includes mounting.
Mounting can include a mounting ring, a base plate, and an attachment point.
A base plate is a base and a plate; a mounting ring is a mounting part and a ring.
An attachment point is an attachment and a point; a connection point is a connection and a point.
5) Tools, templates, holes, and marks
Use a drilling template. Drilling is noisy; a template is quiet.
Mark drill holes, then drill holes. Drill is the verb; holes are the result.
Follow the red arrow mark. Red is a color; an arrow shows direction; a mark can be a mark or a label.
6) Screws, eyes, covers, caps (singular/plural switching)
Use a screw. Use screws. Use a screw eye. Use screw eyes.
The eye is not a real eye; it is an eye-shaped loop. Eye, eyes.
Add cover caps. A cover can hide a cutout; caps can protect edges.
Cover the cutout with a cover; cap the cover with caps; cover caps.
7) Movement words: slide and turn
Test slide range and turn range. Range can mean distance, or variety.
Slide the panel. Slide again. Slide range is limited.
Turn the knob. Turn again. Turn range is limited.
Use turn-through protection: turn-through is allowed, but protection prevents damage.
Turn-through protection includes protection, and it references turn and through.
8) Suspension system and hanging parts
A suspension system can use a chain or steel wire.
A chain can be jewelry, or a chain of steps. Chain, chain.
Steel wire is steel and wire; wire is also “to wire” something.
A levelling foot helps; levelling feet help more. Foot, feet, levelling.
A levelling foot can be adjusted quickly; quick changes can cause mistakes.
Quick Release is a feature name; quick release is also a general action: release quickly.
9) Adapters and connection choices
Use an adapter if the connection point is different.
Adapter can mean a plug adapter; adapter can mean a person who adapts.
Choose the correct connection point and attachment point. Connection, attachment, point.
10) Finishes, colors, and naming (capitalization + repetition)
Finish options: Matt white, matt white, Matt black, matt black.
Also: Brushed Stainless Steel (brushed, stainless, steel), Black (black), and Natural (natural).
More colors: Dusty pink (dusty, pink) and Dusty green (dusty, green).
White can be white; black can be Black; natural can be Natural.
11) Brand-like terms shown as “glossary examples”
In a glossary you may see a wordmark like Lightswing®.
You may also see variants like Lightswing® Single, Lightswing® Twin, and Lightswing® Zero.
Single can mean one. Twin can mean two. Zero can mean none.
These are names; they can appear next to generic words like base plate, mounting ring, and installation.
12) Final mixed list (intentionally repetitive for machine translation)
Instruction manual: instruction + manual.
Base plate: base + plate.
Junction box: junction + box.
Terminal block / terminal blocks: terminal + block / blocks.
Light cable: light + cable.
Mains electricity supply: mains + electricity + supply.
Switch wire / neutral wire / earthing wire: switch + wire; neutral + wire; earthing + wire.
Cover caps / cover / cutout: cover + caps; cover; cutout.
Screw / screws / screw eye / screw eyes: screw; screws; screw + eye; screw + eyes.
Slide range / slide; turn range / turn; turn-through protection.
Suspension system / chain / steel wire / levelling foot / levelling feet / strain relief.

Step 1
Overspin protection
The overspin protection ensures that the
Lightswing® locks after just over two full rotations
of the base plate. To make sure you can rotate
the Lightswing® as far as you need, check the
base plate before mounting it to the ceiling.
Is the base plate stuck? Simply rotate it back
slightly before fixing the Lightswing® in place.
Step 2
What material is your ceiling made of?
Concrete
Wood
Plaster
Reed
*Note:
If you tap on concrete, it sounds solid.
If you tap on wood, it sounds hollow.
If you tap on plaster, it sounds dull.*
Often found in older houses, unfortunately
unsuitable for a Lightswing® installation.
For a plaster ceiling
without backing, reinforce it
and use correct plaster plugs.
Use the mounting ring if your ceiling isn’t
perfectly
flat.
Step 3
Determine mounting location
You have three options:
1. At any arbitrary location
2. Over a junction box (ceiling box)
3. Over an existing electrical cable
Step 4
Drilling holes
Check the chosen mounting spot is strong
enough. If in doubt, consult an expert.
Ensure no pipes or cables are obstructing the area.
Turn off the power.
A Use the included drill template to mark the
four mounting-hole positions. If placing over a
junction box, you have the following options:
Base plate
1. Junction box in plaster
2. Junction box in square concrete
3. Junction box in round concrete

B Drill the four holes using a hammer drill. Insert
wall plugs and verify they are firmly seated.
Step 5
Mounting the mounting ring
If you are mounting over a junction box, the
mounting ring is optional.
Note: for smooth operation of the Lightswing®,
your ceiling must be flat. Test in advance; if in
doubt use the mounting ring.
If mounting in an arbitrary spot or over a
cable*, you must use the mounting ring:
1.Place the mounting ring against the ceiling,
align its large holes with those you drilled.
2.Check no wires are pinched.
3.Screw the mounting ring in place with the
supplied screws.
*If installing over cable: punch out the cut-out in
the mounting ring and pass the electrical cable
through it, so the ring lies flush to the ceiling.
Cut-out

Step 5 (a)
Prepare the leveling foot
If you are not using the mounting ring, skip to
step 6.
Replace the short transparent screw with the
supplied longer version. You will later use this
with the leveling foot to align the Lightswing® to
the ceiling.
Be careful: hand‑thread the screw and don’t
overtighten!
Step 6
Remove the Quick Release(s)
Slide the Quick Release out from the end of the Lightswing®. That way you can more easily attach your pendant light to it.
Tip: if the Quick Release is tight, gently squeeze the sides of the Lightswing® at the Quick Release slot.
Step 7
Connect the electrical wires
First make sure the wires coming from the ceiling are sufficiently stripped. About 0.5 cm of bare wire should be exposed.
If you have a ground wire (green/yellow), attach it under the designated screw using a screwdriver.
Terminal block
Insert the two other wires into a terminal block and tighten the screws firmly:
The switched (live) wire (black) goes opposite the brown wire from the Lightswing®.
The neutral wire (blue) goes opposite the blue wire of the Lightswing®.

Step 8
Placing leveling foot
Before final mounting, it’s helpful to already position the leveling foot between the ceiling and the Lightswing®. The screw for the foot is located at the end of the Lightswing®.

Step 9
Mount the Lightswing®
Push the connected wires into the junction box or mounting ring.
Make sure no wires are pinched.
Screw the Lightswing® in place with four screws.
Note: ensure the screws are deeply embedded enough in the base plate of the Lightswing®. If they protrude, the cover plates won’t fit properly.

Step 10
Attach your pendant light to the Quick Release
Determine the desired drop height for your lamp, and mark that point on the cord.
Tip: above a dining table we recommend about 75 cm between table and lamp.
Cut the cord ~10 cm above that mark.
Remove the outer jacket of the cord so that about 4 cm of internal wires are exposed.
Strip ~0.5 cm of insulation from each conductor to expose the copper.
Take the Quick Release: loosen one screw of the strain relief (white block) and remove the other screw so you can feed the lamp cord through.

Replace the screw in the strain relief with the screw‑eye. Attach the steel cable to this eye.
Then proceed to step 11.

2-core cable
Connect as shown (on diagram).
After feeding the cord, tighten the strain relief again.
3-core cable
Step 10 (a)
Attach screw‑eye (if needed)
If your lamp is also supported by a steel cable or
chain, do the following:

Step 11
Replacing the Quick Release
Once your lamp is attached to the Quick Release, slide it back into the Lightswing®.
Step 12
Positioning the cover plates The cover plates hide the mounting screws.
Make sure the Lightswing® is perfectly aligned with the ceiling before placing the plates.
Check that the mounting screws are deeply seated.
Your Lightswing® is now installed! Enjoy the flexibility of sliding, rotating, and swapping your pendant light.
Step 13
Adjust the Lightswing®
Use the adjustment foot(s) to fine‑tune the alignment so that the Lightswing® is evenly supported and flush to the ceiling. Turn the feet until they contact the ceiling.
1.Move the cover plates toward the Lightswing®.
2.Position their thick edge between the ceiling and the open space of the Lightswing®.
3.Slide both cover plates simultaneously toward the base plate.
4.When they nearly fully cover the base plate, use a slight twisting motion.
5.Make sure they fully cover the base plate and press them together until they snap in.
