How Do You Install Ceiling Lights From Chains?
Hanging lights give an elegant look to a room while providing a versatile form of lighting (since they can be installed at whatever height you want). The design usually includes a canopy that fastens to the ceiling, with a chain dangling down and the light at the end of it. The power cord for the light will be strung in among the links of the chain. The light connects to an existing electrical box just like any other ceiling light, though the adjustment of the chain and cord makes it a little more complicated. Turn off power to the room at the fuse box. Access the existing fixture, using a ladder. Remove the fixture from the ceiling by taking out the mounting screws or bolts holding it to the electrical box. Disconnect the electrical wiring, letting the wire ends hang out of the box.

Hold the top canopy of the fixture up to the electrical box, with the wires of the fixture
