How To Change A Bathroom Light Fixture

A bathroom light fixture replacement is a fairly simple project that you can do yourself in no time at all. Here are the steps on how to change a bathroom light fixture:

1. Turn off the power to the light fixture. This can be done by turning off the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the light fixture.

2. Remove the old light fixture. Most bathroom light fixtures are held in place by screws. Remove the screws and carefully pull the light fixture away from the ceiling.

3. Disconnect the wires from the old light fixture. There will typically be two or three wires connected to the old light fixture: a black wire, a white wire, and possibly a ground wire. Disconnect the wires by unscrewing the wire nuts that hold them together.

4. Connect the wires to the new light fixture. Connect the black wire from the new light fixture to the black wire from the ceiling. Connect the white wire from the new light fixture to the white wire from the ceiling. If there is a ground wire, connect it to the ground wire from the ceiling.

5. Mount the new light fixture to the ceiling. Carefully lift the new light fixture into place and secure it to the ceiling with screws.

6. Turn on the power to the light fixture. Go to the fuse box or circuit breaker and turn on the power to the light fixture.
