How To Install a Chandelier

1. 0:55–1:00 Remove Cover Plate From Light Fixture Replacement, Step 3: Remove Old Fixture Cover

   Using a sturdy ladder, climb to the ceiling fixture. Carefully remove the existing electrical cover plate using a flathead screwdriver to expose the electrical wires within the junction box.

2. 2:18–2:55 Make Wire Connections From Recessed Staircase Lighting, Step 6: Connect Wiring

   Now, it's time to connect the electrical wires. First, take the bare copper ground wire from the fixture and wrap it securely around the green grounding screw on the mounting bracket, then tighten the screw with a screwdriver. Next, connect the neutral wire from the fixture (typically white) to the white neutral wire from the house wiring using a wire cap. Finally, connect the hot wire from the fixture to the 'hot' (power) wire from the house wiring (which you identified earlier) using another wire cap. For added security, wrap electrical tape around each wire cap connection.
