How to replace ceiling light wiring. Hi in this video Im replacing simple plastic pendant light fittings with a proper lamp. Finally screw your new fixture into the ceiling. My normal experience is to have red black and earth wires coming from the ceiling which I connect respectively to brown blue and earthwire.

Remove the old ceiling light. Using the diagram above this would mean either cable 1 2 or 3. But the light I am trying change has 1 x red wire 1 x black wire 1 x earth wire and 1 x white wire.

I live in Queensland Australia. Find the main breaker box and turn off either the individual breaker for. The old fixture on my wall has 3 holes for wiring labeled N Loop and A.

You dont want any exposed wires since these can be a hazard. I want to install a ceiling fixture. Raise the ceiling lights base positioning it over the mounting screws.

Then turn on the light switch With all power off to the lighting circuits there is no power to the switch. Hold the red and black terminals of your circuit tester to a red and a black wire that appear in the same cable. I have the manual and it looks pretty easy but in the manual it looks like I should have 2 cables coming out of my wall.

The part that connects the light to the ceiling is secure. Check if the light is loose or not have a match then let go of your hand. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the mounting screws and bring down the light.
