“To get tips on packing your lamps for your relocation, kindly give this article a good read”.
Lamps are not generally one of the first things that come to mind when you are thinking of packing your belongings for your move. But yes, it is one of the most fragile or delicate and tricky belongings that you need to pack.
They are not only delicate but also come with a lot of parts. And it is needless to say that they are oddly shaped as well. So one of the first things which you should do in this case is to hire professional movers Miami for correctly packing your lamps. They will use the right packing materials for safeguarding these breakable and fancy items.
And apart from hiring moving services, here are a few more tips for you.
The first thing that you should do is wrap each piece of the lamp separately and assemble them once you reach the new abode.
You must unplug the lamps at first and then slowly, start coiling each cord with care. You should secure them with rubber bands. Unscrew the light bulbs once they have cooled down.
Pack the bulbs separately and ask the local movers Miami to use proper cushions for the same. If you are going DIY, make sure you provide enough padding so that they don’t break even when there is a bumpy road. It is extremely important that you use high-quality cartons for packing your beautiful lamps.
Place the light bulbs in air-filled padding and you should never forget to secure the padding with tape. If you have boxes with specialty dividers, then nothing like it. Use them to pack all the bulbs (of all your lamps) together. Before sealing the box with tape, add a layer of padding on top.
Irrespective of whether you are moving and packing the lamps or your movers are, you must make sure that the boxes are marked as “fragile” or “brittle” so that they are handled with utmost care while loading and unloading. They shouldn’t be unloaded with any kind of a jerk.
You should also know that most movers do not shop incandescent bulbs. So if you have them, you need to get rid of them immediately. They are filled with mercury and are dangerous. You should dispose of them off and purchase new ones once you arrive at your new house.
For packing your lamps, you should use packing paper. Use plain paper so that ink does not get transferred to your stunning lamps. Pack each lamp individually in the boxes. Use appropriately sized cartons for the same. Fill in the gaps with lots of packing paper, padding, old tees or towels, etc.
For packing the lamp bases, use the same technique as you would do for your lamps.
If you have floor lamps, then the bases won’t likely fit into a box – you need a separate plan for the same.
Lastly, unpack your lamps early on so that there are no issues.
