Then, align the new light fixture with the mounting bracket and use the screws provided with the fixture to securely attach it to the bracket. Ensure the fixture is flush against the ceiling and stable. After the fixture is mounted, return to your electrical panel and flip the breaker switch back to the 'on' position to restore power to the room.
