How Do You Replace Recessed Light Fixtures?

If you already have recessed lighting fixtures but want or need to replace them, just follow these steps. Within a few hours, you’ll be seeing your rooms in a whole new light. Turn off power to the light fixture at the breaker panel. Check with a circuit tester to make sure there is no power at the fixture. Remove the bulb and decorative trim. The trim is merely snapped in place and does not require any tools for removal. Use needle-nosed pliers to remove the springs or clips holding the metal casing. Take out the casing. Measure existing light fixture so you can buy the proper sized replacement. Purchase new recessed lighting fixtures at any lighting store or home improvement center. Unscrew cover plate from the electrical connection box that is exposed once you remove the metal casing. Recheck wires with circuit tester to make sure power is off. Rem
