  1. 1:55–3:18 Disconnect Old Fixture Wiring From Light Fixture Replacement, Step 6: Disconnect Wiring

    Before touching any wires, ensure the electricity to the room is completely turned off at the circuit breaker. Use a non-contact voltage tester to verify that no power is present in the wiring coming from the wall. Once confirmed safe, carefully disconnect the wire nuts connecting the old fixture's wires (typically white for neutral, black for hot, and bare copper/green for ground) to the house's electrical wires. Match colors when disconnecting. The presenter also removes a ground wire that is screwed directly to the fixture's base using a Philips head screwdriver.
