How to Replace and Install Ceiling Light Fixtures

Turn the main power off.

Remove the cover of the old light fixture.

Unscrew all lightbulbs.

Remove the screws holding the old light fixture's housing with a screwdriver

Carefully pull the old light fixture and its wiring down.

Remove the old wire connectors and untwist the wires.

Match the new ceiling light wiring to your home’s existing wires.

Link each pair with wire connectors by placing the exposed ends inside, and twisting down until tight.

You must connect the fixture ground wire to the ground screw of the ceiling crossbar.

Or you must connect the fixture ground wire to the house ground wire (the bare copper wire without any insulation)

Find the proper alignment for the holes of the new housing with the ceiling's mounting bar.

Carefully place all wiring into the electrical box or empty space within the ceiling.

Secure the housing to the ceiling with two screws, tightening them firmly with a screwdriver.

Attach the cover and/or lightbulbs of the new light fixture.

Turn the main power back on and watch as your handiwork lights up the room!
