Hey there! When replacing a light fixture, safety is key! First, make sure to turn off the power at the breaker box to avoid any shocks. Then, use a voltage tester to double-check that the wires are not live before touching them. Lastly, follow the instructions that come with the new fixture carefully, and don't hesitate to call a professional if you're unsure. Better safe than sorry! 🛠️

First wear your PPE such as Gloves and safety glasses, after confirming that you turned off the power, aside from following the instruction manual, the tips I can give you is when working use a wire coat hanger to hold the light fixture in place.

Hey there! When it's time to swap out that old light fixture, safety comes first. Start by switching off the power at the circuit breaker and gathering your tools. Take a moment to read through the instructions provided with your new fixture. If you're tackling a ceiling-mounted fixture, consider asking for a helping hand to hold it steady. Once you've disconnected the wiring from the old fixture, securely mount the new one following the instructions. Carefully connect the wiring, ensuring tight connections with wire nuts. Finally, flip the switch back on and test out your new light – you're all set to brighten up your space safely and stylishly! 💡🔧
