I'm not sure where to begin with this one because when I think about how long I waited to change this ugly, beat-up, and broken fixture, I want to hang my head in shame. I mean, this light fixture (the old one) looks as if it should be attached to an abandoned house. Funny enough, I am not the only person who has neglected these things.. Yes, I see you-I understand your pain. Hey it is understandable and fixable. I got you!
This is how you change an exterior light fixture:
First things, first. Make sure your circuit breaker is completely shut down.
- Unscrew your old fixture.You will then see plastic caps covering your wire ends. Black wires, white wires and copper ground wires.
- Unscrew all of the plastic caps, then untwist the wires and remove the old mount.You are now going to screw on the new mount. There will be a metal piece that you will screw your fixture into it allows you to adjust your mount as needed.
- You will then begin to connect wires. Twist the ground wire with ground wire from fixture-add cap.
- Twist white wire with white wire-add cap, twist black wire with black wire-add cap.When you are twisting the wires together make sure you are twisting clockwise.
- Next, twist and tuck all of the wires neatly behind the light fixture base.
- Then, secure your base to the wall. There are two screws that come on the side.I was lucky enough to have one of mine fall into the grass…will search when I have more patience.
- Lastly, insert bulb and done.
