Basic Electrical: Replacing a Light Fixture 💡🔧
Merry Christmas Everyone
Thinking about updating a room or fixing a broken light? Replacing a light fixture is a great DIY project that can instantly refresh any space!
Start by turning off the power at the circuit breaker and double-checking with a voltage tester for safety. Remove the old fixture by unscrewing it from the ceiling or wall and carefully disconnecting the wires. Take note of how the wires are connected—usually, you’ll see black (hot), white (neutral), and green or bare (ground) wires.
Connect the new fixture’s wires to the corresponding wires in your ceiling or wall, using wire nuts to secure them. Attach the fixture to the mounting bracket, install any bulbs or shades, and turn the power back on to test your new light.
