The invention provides a connection and installation method for LED filaments. The connection and installation method is used for assembling wicks in filament type LED bulbs. As the difference from the prior art of welding the lead-out ends of the LED filaments to a guide wire of a glass core column through a spot welding method, the electrode lead-out ends of the LED filaments are connected through elastic metal thin wire spiral parts, and therefore the LED filaments are connected in series one by one in an end-to-end manner according to the polarity to form a multi-joint LED filament series-connection system which can be bent. Then, the metal thin wire spiral parts at the head lead-out end and the tail lead-out end of the filament series-connection system are clamped on and fixed to corresponding core column side rod guide wires, and the metal thin wire spiral parts between the adjacent filaments are placed on corresponding filament hooks on the core column one by one so that the filaments can be arranged in order. By means of the connection and installation method, the defects that in the prior art, due to spot welding, the production efficiency is low, the finished product rate is low, and filament stress is large are overcome, and the production efficiency of filament type LED bulbs can be easily improved and the finished product rate of the filament type LED bulbs can be easily increased.
