Install lighting fixtures/ switches

Objectives:
 If you're looking for a simple way to upgrade a living space, try replacing your light
fixture with a new pendant or chandelier light. Installing a light fixture is an
intermediate DIY project you can accomplish in as little as two hours. It requires
basic electrical skills, a screwdriver, and a new fixture. In this guide, we'll teach you
how to install a new light with or without existing wiring.
Things You Should Know
 Switch the circuit breaker to the "OFF" position to replace a light fixture. Then,
unscrew the canopy and wires in a counterclockwise position.
 To install a fixture without existing wiring, cut a hole in the wall and ceiling for a
junction box and the fixture. Thread an electrical Romex cable through each hole.
 Connect the wiring to the new fixture by twisting the corresponding wires clockwise.
Place the wire nuts over the wires and mount the fixture.

1. Locate the circuit breaker.

Switch the appropriate

room's circuit breaker
panel to the "OFF"
position. Every home and
apartment has a circuit
breaker, which controls all of
the electrical power in the
home. Look for a matte grey
metal box in the basement,
garage, utility closet, or
hallway. Each circuit controls
the power to a specific room.
Flip the corresponding switch
to the "OFF" position before
handling any wires.
 For example, if you're
changing a light fixture in the living room, look for the corresponding "LIVING
ROOM" circuit breaker.
 If you're working with an older circuit breaker, you may have fuse blocks instead of
switches. Pull the fuse block out; either side will have an "ON" and "OFF" label.
Insert the fuse block with the "OFF" side facing up.
 Always shut the power off before any electrical job to avoid electrical shocks or hot
wires.

2. Remove the existing light

fixture.

Unscrew or twist the

canopy from the surface to
expose the wires. To reach
the light fixture, use
 a stepladder. If you have a dangling overhead light, the canopy is the rounded
covering that hides the light's wiring and hardware. Remove any screws with an
appropriate-sized screwdriver.
 If there are no visible screws, like with a standard flush mount light or similar pendant
lights, you may need to twist the canopy or trim off.
 If possible, have another person help you support the weight of the existing fixture or
balance the weight of the fixture in your other hand.
 You may want to wear safety goggles or a mask for any dust and debris falling off the
fixture.

3. Test the wires

Confirm the power is

off with a voltage tester
tool. Before handling
wires, take a non-contact
voltage tester to test the
wires. Use the tip of the
tool to touch the wires. If
the tester is green, the
power is off, and you can
continue to the next step. If
the tester is red, the
power is still on. Return to
your circuit breaker to
confirm you shut the
power off to the correct
room.
 If you don't have a pre-
installed light fixture, test the wires in the junction box (located in the ceiling or
attached to the wall) with a voltage tester.
 If you're uncomfortable working with wires, hire an electrician to handle the job.

4. Disconnect the wiring

Twist the wire connectors

counterclockwise to disconnect
them. Before moving any wires, take a photo
for reference. Twist the wire nuts
counterclockwise with your fingers to remove
them. Carefully untangle the wires from the
fixture from the wires in the junction box
(located in the ceiling).
 You can also use masking tape to
label each wire for reference.
5. Install the mounting bracket

Screw the mounting bracket

into the junction box. A
mounting bracket keeps the
light fixture in place. Take a
screwdriver and unscrew the
original mounting bracket from
the junction box. A junction box
is typically attached to the wall
framing; look for a metal or
plastic grey box.[5] Use two
screws to attach the new
mounting bracket to the junction
box.
 Every light fixture comes
with a mounting bracket. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.

6. Assemble the new light fixtwure, if needed.

If your fixture requires

assembly, use the included
instructions. If you're installing
a new pendant or chandelier,
now is the time to assemble it.
Use a screwdriver to put the
fixture together. If your new light
includes a chain, use chain
pliers to adjust the chain to your
desired length.
 To minimize the look of wires, thread the electrical wires through every
other link in the chain.
 A new light fixture can be installed when you're looking to update a
space's aesthetics or notice issues, like frequent bulb replacements,
dimming, flickering, or visible damage to the fixture.

7. Connect the wiring.

Connect the new fixture's

corresponding wires to the wires in the
ceiling. Typically, a light fixture will have
four different wires. A neutral wire (white),
a line or load wire (black), a grounding
wire (green or bare white), and a strain
relief cable (copper color). Wrap the strain relief cable around the grounding screw
on the mounting bracket. Then, connect the corresponding wires to one another with
wire nuts.
 Connect white-to-white, black-to-black, and green-to-green wires together.
 Afterward, stuff the wires back into the ceiling, ensuring any exposed wires
don't touch one another to avoid an electrical shortage.
 Your new light fixture will include new wire nuts, so you don't have to reuse
the old ones.

8. Screw the new fixture in place.

Mount the new light fixture

following the manufacturer's
instructions. Refer to the
instruction manual included in
your light fixture kit. Typically, this
involves screwing the light fixture
onto the mounting bracket. Then,
cover any exposed screws on the
canopy with screw caps that
come included in the kit.
 If you're installing a light
fixture without existing
wiring, you'll need to cut
a hole into the drywall
with an oscillating
tool. The hole should be big enough for the junction box and light canopy to
fit.
 Weave an electrical cable (typically Romex) from the light canopy hole to the
junction box hole. Use a wire stripper to peel back the outer layer to weave
the neutral, line, and grounding cables. Connect the corresponding wires to
the light fixture.
 The process is the same for exterior lights. However, ensure you purchase
an UL-rated light fixture for outdoor use.

9. Attach the trim and light bulb

Use a screwdriver to attach the trim and twist

on an LED light bulb. If your new fixture
comes with a trim or cover, screw it into place
with a screwdriver. Then, install the
manufacturer's recommended light bulb. If
you're looking to improve your home's energy
efficiency, opt for an LED bulb.
10. Test the light fixture

Flip the circuit breaker switch to the

"ON" position. Once your new light
fixture is secure, return to the circuit
breaker and restore the room's power.
Flip the switch and let there be light! If
power doesn't work, it's likely because
either the white or black wires aren't
connected. Inspect the wires and
connections and try again.
 If you still have issues, contact
your local electrician for
further assistance.
