From How to Remove a Ceiling Light Cover to Change the Bulbs, Step 1: Turn off power to the light fixture
Before beginning any work on the light fixture, locate the electrical panel (breaker box) in your home. Identify the circuit breaker that controls the power to the light fixture you intend to remove. Flip the switch on this specific circuit breaker to the 'OFF' position to cut off all electrical current to the fixture. This is a crucial first step for safety, preventing accidental electrocution.
