![]() ![]() You’ll see us get to that later in this post, but this is an important step to make sure there’s no lingering evidence of your old fluorescent fixture! Installing A Pendant Light Fixture In Its Place Since your new light fixture likely won’t cover the same spot, you’ll need to spackle any holes (like the ones from the screws), repair any other hidden damage, and also paint to blend the area with the rest of your ceiling. If you’re old fixture is in good enough condition still, we highly recommend donating it somewhere like a Habitat for Humanity Restore. Apparently I was so excited to have it gone, I blurred my face. Once I unscrewed those with my cordless screwdriver… Now the only thing holding up the fluorescent fixture were two big screws on either end. Step 5: Unscrew The Fixture Box & Remove It From Your Ceiling Also, you can see this step was actually done after we painted the walls. You don’t need to mess with any of the wiring within the fixture itself (aka, those blue and red wires on the right side of the photo below). Then, with the power still turned off, I unscrewed the wire caps so that we could detach the fixture wiring from the ceiling wiring. Step 4: Disconnect Wires In The Old Fixture Had that been the case here, it would’ve required more complex wiring to move the fixture box to the right spot. In our last kitchen, the wires came through the ceiling at one end of the fluorescent light. We were very relieved to see that the wiring came through the center of the fixture. Then we snapped out the metal cover that concealed all of the wiring in the back of the fluorescent fixture. Then I took out the long fluorescent bulbs and placed them aside, just to make sure the fluorescent tubes didn’t get broken in the process. Next, I took off the plastic shade cover, which was just snapped into place. Step 2: Remove the Plastic Shade & Light Bulbs If you want to be super, extra careful, you can also use a voltage dector to make sure there’s no current running to any wires before you make contact with them. And doing it first makes sure you don’t forget about it later. Doing this will make sure someone doesn’t flip the switch back on while you’re working. Whenever you’re working with a light fixture, it’s always good to turn off the power to this light at the circuit breaker in your electrical panel box, not just at the light switch. It was incredibly simple to do so we’ve outlined a step-by-step process below: Step 1: Turn Off The Power Removing A Large Fluorescent Light Fixtureįirst we replaced the big fluorescent light near our stove.
