FANXSTAR INSTALLATION GUIDE
How to Install Fiber Optic Star Ceiling Panels
A practical step-by-step guide to installing FANXSTAR magnetic fiber optic star ceiling panels using metal or wooden ceiling frames.
Installation Overview
Modular Star Ceiling Panels Designed for Easier Installation
FANXSTAR fiber optic star ceiling panels are designed as modular ceiling units with magnets installed on the back of each panel. This allows the panels to be mounted onto compatible metal structures and makes panel removal easier when inspection or maintenance is required.
Standard panel sizes are60 × 60cmand60 × 120cm. The supporting ceiling framework should therefore be planned according to the selected panel dimensions before installation begins.

Ceiling Structure
Prepare the Ceiling Framework First
Before installing the star ceiling panels, prepare the ceiling framework according to the selected panel dimensions. The structure should be level, secure and capable of supporting the complete ceiling system.
Recommended Installation Space
Leave approximately 5cm or more between the original ceiling and the finished star ceiling framework where possible. This space provides room for panel connections, cables and related system components.
Mounting Options
Metal Frame or Wooden Frame Installation
FANXSTAR magnetic star ceiling panels can be adapted to both metal-frame and wooden-frame ceiling structures.
OPTION 01
Metal / Iron Keel Frame
A compatible steel or iron ceiling framework provides the simplest magnetic installation method.
- ✓Prepare the metal frame according to panel dimensions
- ✓Keep the frame level and securely fixed
- ✓Align the magnets on the rear of the panel with the metal frame
- ✓Attach and adjust each panel into its final position
OPTION 02
Wooden Keel Frame
A wooden frame can also be used. Because the panel is mounted magnetically, compatible steel strips or metal mounting plates should be installed at the corresponding magnetic fixing positions.
- ✓Build the wooden frame according to the panel layout
- ✓Fix suitable metal strips or plates to the wooden frame
- ✓Align the rear panel magnets with the metal mounting points
- ✓Confirm each panel is securely attached before continuing
Panel Layout
Match the Frame Layout to the Panel Size
Plan the framework before installation so that the supporting structure matches the selected panel dimensions.
60 × 60cm
Square Star Ceiling Panel
Use a modular grid aligned with the 60cm panel dimensions. Ensure the perimeter and magnetic mounting positions have adequate structural support.
60 × 120cm
Rectangular Star Ceiling Panel
Plan the ceiling grid around the 60cm × 120cm module. Add suitable cross-support where required so the panel mounting points align correctly with the supporting frame.
Step-by-Step Installation
How to Install the Star Ceiling Panels
1
Measure the Ceiling
Measure the length and width of the installation area. Confirm the number and orientation of 60 × 60cm or 60 × 120cm panels before building the support structure.
2
Build the Ceiling Frame
Prepare either a metal/iron keel structure or a wooden keel frame according to the panel layout. Keep all supporting members level and properly secured.
3
Prepare Magnetic Mounting Points
For metal frames, verify that the magnetic fixing positions align directly with suitable steel members. For wooden frames, install compatible metal strips or plates at the corresponding magnetic positions.
4
Plan Cable and Panel Connections
Before attaching the panels, arrange the panel connection cables and related lighting-system wiring in the ceiling space. Keep connections accessible where possible for future maintenance.
5
Install the First Panel
Start from a corner or another fixed reference point. Connect the panel as required, then carefully lift it into position and allow the rear magnets to engage with the metal mounting points.
6
Install the Remaining Panels
Continue installing the remaining panels in sequence. Keep panel edges aligned and maintain consistent spacing to create a clean finished ceiling surface.
7
Power On and Test the System
After the panels are installed, power on the system and check all star points, lighting effects, controllers and panel connections before completing the project.
Magnetic Panel Design
Easier Installation and Future Maintenance
The rear magnetic mounting system allows individual panels to be positioned and removed without permanently bonding the entire ceiling surface.
Modular InstallationPanels can be installed one section at a time.
Easy AlignmentIndividual panels can be adjusted during installation.
Removable PanelsSelected panels can be removed when system access is required.
Cleaner InstallationMagnetic fixing reduces visible mounting hardware on the finished surface.
Final Checklist
Check Before Finishing the Installation
✓ Frame is level and securely fixed
✓ Panel size matches frame layout
✓ Magnetic fixing points are properly aligned
✓ All panel connections are secure
✓ Cable routes are organized and protected
✓ All star points illuminate correctly
✓ Lighting effects and controller functions tested
✓ Panel seams and alignment visually checked
Important Installation Notes
Keep the structure level.
Uneven framing can create visible height differences between adjacent panels.
Do not force or sharply bend fiber connections.
Route cables and optical fibers carefully inside the ceiling space.
Keep electrical components accessible.
Controllers, power supplies and serviceable connections should remain accessible where practical.
Follow local building and electrical requirements.
Ceiling structures and mains electrical work should comply with applicable local regulations. Use qualified installers or electricians where required.
FAQ
Star Ceiling Panel Installation Questions
What sizes are the FANXSTAR star ceiling panels?
Standard panel sizes are 60 × 60cm and 60 × 120cm.
Do the panels have magnets on the back?
Yes. FANXSTAR star ceiling panels include rear magnets for modular ceiling installation.
Can the panels be installed on a metal frame?
Yes. A compatible steel or iron keel structure allows the rear magnets to attach directly at the designed mounting positions.
Can the panels be installed on a wooden frame?
Yes. For a wooden keel system, suitable metal strips or mounting plates can be fixed at the magnetic attachment positions so the rear magnets have a compatible surface to attach to.
How much space should be left above the panels?
Approximately 5cm or more of ceiling space is recommended where possible for cables, connections and related system components.
Can a panel be removed after installation?
The magnetic modular design allows individual panels to be removed when access is required, provided the installation structure has been designed accordingly.
