Getting tired of that old dingy lamp hanging above your ceiling? Maybe it's time to get rid of the old and the installation of a new style lighting fixture. Recently a friend of mine bought a new house. She did not like the old seventies style lighting installed in all rooms. She bought a few new contemporary style lighting for her new home. I gladly helped her install the new lighting.
There are different types of fixtures out there. Incandescent fixtures use filament lamps. Fluorescent lamps also work within this device, you know, the energy saving screw in type. Then there are the strict type fluorescent fixtures. Primarily we will deal with incandescent fixtures style for this article. TL-types are similar, yet a bit more involved. So here we go gang.
First, taste should be approached. With that in mind, go to the Isle of lighting your local store and find out what you want in your room to see for the coming years. Then buy. Ok, just to make it a little easier, we will say that this fixture is for the bedroom. The old just had to go. So, let's say you buy a chandelier-style fixture. I did this, however, with chandeliers, you have high maintenance costs and the possibility of hitting the valve with a pillow or something. Bad idea, yes, we get a dome style fixture with two sockets for two lamps. Perfect. Now, once you have considered all options, way up and down on the island for that perfect light, let it install!
Safety comes first, the power light should be blocked, or locked in the off position, so that nobody can turn it on while you work. Now, I thought a guy who just turn off the switch was good enough, but he forgot to tell his dog. Yes, his dog, who apparently thought it was too dark in the room and turned on the switch while he kept the black wire. OUCH! So preferably you closed the bedroom lighting the fuse that feeds. Ok, once you have assured that the power is off and the light in the room is you can start. With a screwdriver in hand and a safe ladder to get you there, lets remove the old fixture.
Remove the globe or dome or canopy that envelops the bulb. Beware, most of the glass. Once removed, remove the bulbs and set them aside too. Look for either a single note or a few screws that secure the luminaire to stick to the ceiling box. Remove the screws and the body of the old luminaire to the ceiling. Oh, you say that there are wires connected fantastic. Remove the wires, but remember what colors went where.
First remove the red or black hot wire by loosening the wire. Once disconnected, use the wire nut to the hot wire hanging from the ceiling box back. Remove the white wire, this is your neutral wire. Again, relate to the wire out of the box. Now finally the copper or green wire to remove, you will ground wire. Ok, you're doing great. Put the old fixture. I know that you have opened your new light, because that's what people do. We love to open presents and new things to get. I know I do.
Above your head, in your ceiling, your three wires ready to be connected. You also need a new pendant luminaire unit with your new package. If your old light already had one, great, it is already installed. If not, go to the new ones in. It looks like a spindle with screws at both ends to convert. They allow customization of your new fixture. Install this pendant with the supplied two screws or use your old one. Once you have installed the spindle, two screws down for you to base your new insurance. Then it's time to connect the green wire. Your phone probably has a bare copper wire available for grounding. Then connect the white to white. You can use the old notes, or the new caps if you prefer. Connect the black or red wire. Now make sure the connections are tight. Tug on the wires, in an attempt to get them to withdraw from the wirenut. This will ensure a solid connection. If the outlet, reconnect it and pull again. Strike three is better than a house fire, so weather reconnect it and try to make it very tight. Once the cable, you can now base on the ceiling. This can be very difficult and even frustrating. Be patient and get the screws through the insulation and twist the base to screw down, then gently tighten them just enough to snugly around your ceiling fixture to hold.
