How to Replace a Ceiling-mounted Pull-chain Light Fixture
- 1). Turn off the power to the light fixture. Unscrew the two screws that hold the fixture to the electrical box.
- 2). Uncoil the wiring to gain access to the back of the fixture. Place one lead of the voltage tester on each screw to double-check that the power is off.
- 3). Unscrew the black and white wires from the old pull-chain fixture, and discard the fixture.
- 4). Connect the black wire to one terminal on the new light fixture, and tighten the screw. Connect the white wire to one terminal on the new fixture and tighten the screw.
- 5). Fold the wires carefully, and push the fixture up to the electrical box. Screw the fixture to the electrical box to hold it in place. Make sure all the wiring is contained inside the electrical box.
- 6). Turn the power back on to the fixture. Screw in your light bulb, and pull the chain to ensure the fixture works properly.
