Installing a Flush Mount Ceiling Light at Home

STORY

Installing a Flush Light on your Ceiling is a good idea for your home, these flush lights offer a clean modern look against the ceiling without spacing; most of the ceiling lights are compatible with existing electrical boxes on the ceiling.

This particular flush ceiling light i decided to install was cool, featuring a 3 bulb option in an all white color design; it actually matched the other two I already had in the ceiling.

You are welcome to installing any flush ceiling light fixture you want, first thing you want to do of course is remove the existing light fixture you have on your home ceiling; it normally involves a few screws and basic wiring.

When installing your ceiling light simply match the colors on the wires, for example you may match black with black and white with black along with copper with copper as your ground etc. use wire caps if possible instead of tape to help keep both cables together from coming apart.

One important thing to do before proceeding to work on anything electrical is to shut off the power over inside your electrical breaker, this will ensure you are not shorting yourself with electricity during the exchange of the cables; and if you able to use a electrical tester to make sure the wires are dead even better but a good testing method is simply turn on the switch to make sure it has no power then proceed.

Most challenges you run into when installing a ceiling light fixture is finding out if you can reach the ceiling or not, a ladder may be required depending on how high your ceiling is; begin with installing your flush light fixture electrical box bracket first then proceed with wiring.
