Lighting Options
If you're looking for some
extra light in your kitchen or a dark closet but you're
not into wiring, I have some items that may be just what
you need... |
Turn off the power
at the main circuit box. I can not stress enough how
important it is to be careful and aware when doing
electrical work. 
Take down the old
light. Take out the screws and lower the cover plate.
Remove the connectors that house the circuit wires. Do not
touch the wires! You need to test to be certain the power
is off! 
Use a neon
circuit tester to check the wires, flip the wall switch
and try agiain. 
If there is no
power, disconnect the wires and remove the nut that holds
the fixture in place. 
Screw the mounting
bar to the electrical box. Your fixture may vary from this
point out so read and understand the instructions that
come with your light. Put the fixture screws in the
mounting bar and twist each three turns. 
WIRING: Secure the
black wire from the electrical box to the black wire from
the new light with a wire nut. make sure all bare wire is
covered. Pull gently to be sure the nut is secure, repeat
with the white wires. If you have a bare copper wire,
connect it to the green grounding screw on the mounting
strap. Tuck the wires into the electrical box, and secure
the fixure to the ceiling.
