Shut Off the Power

Before you begin any work, you need to shut off the power to the ceiling light. To do this, locate the main switch on the circuit breaker and turn it off. After that, double check that the power is off by testing the light switch.

Remove the Existing Light Fixture

Once the power is turned off, you can start removing the old light fixture. To do this, use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the screws. Then, carefully remove the fixture and set it aside.

Install the New Light Fixture

Next, you need to install the new light fixture. Start by attaching the mounting bracket to the ceiling using the screws that came with the fixture. Then, connect the wiring to the new fixture. Make sure that all the connections are secure and insulated with electrical tape.

Connect the Wiring

Once the wiring is connected, you can connect the wires to the main wiring of the room. Make sure all the wires are connected properly and securely. Then, use pliers to twist the wires together and secure them with electrical tape.

Mount the Light Fixture

Now that the wiring is in place, you can mount the light fixture to the ceiling. Use the screws that came with the fixture to secure the light fixture to the mounting bracket.

Turn on the Power

Once the light fixture is installed, you can turn the power back on. Flip the main switch on the circuit breaker and then test the light switch. If the light works, you’re all done. Congratulations!
