Replacing a light fixture is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. However, before beginning, it is important to turn off the power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker or fuse box. This will help to prevent electrical shock.
Once the power is off, you can begin removing the light fixture. The first step is to remove the screws that are holding the fixture in place. These screws are typically located on the canopy of the fixture, which is the round or square metal plate that covers the electrical wires.
