Install Light Fixture through Easy Steps

Lighting is an important element of home decoration. It makes many objects clear. It brings life to your home. Infect it affects your mood, mental health and performance on a daily basis. Many times you have to install light to your home. You can do it yourself.  Here I am sharing some easy steps. By following them you can install light to your home yourself.
Requirements
  • Screws
  • Circuit tester
  • Wire stripper
  • Screw driver
  • Ceiling hose
  • Power drill
  • Insulating tape
  • Light fixture
Steps
  • Turn off main power supply. Check all circuits’ breaks. They must be switched off. It’s better to do these types of projects during day time. Use a circuit screw to verify that entire circuit is off.
  • Examine your new light fixture and read all instructions carefully as every light fixture is somehow different.
  • Normally there are two wires coming out from fixtures white (neutral) and black (hot). They are covered with plastic coating. To expose a bare end of these wires, use wire stripper.
  • Now attach these wires to the ceiling box wires. Ceiling box has also the same white and black wires and one copper wire which is ground wire.
  • Twist the expose parts of the wires and screw the wire nut onto ends. Cover these ends of wires with insulation tape.
  • Now reconnect all connections. You are done.
