Disassemble Recessed Lighting

Recessed lighting consists of a light fixture installed into a base in the ceiling. It can give a modern appearance to home decor. Of course, this type of lighting may not match the style you want for your home. If you want to replace the recessed lighting with a new light fixture, remove it with a screwdriver and replace it.


Instructions


1. Cut off the power supply to the recessed lighting fixtures and ensure the light switch is in the Off position. If the light has been on, wait for it to cool down to room temperature and remove the lightbulb.


2. Use the screwdriver to loosen the screws in the recessed lighting canister and push the canister up onto the ceiling base.


3. Remove the connection box cover plate in the ceiling. Pull the plastic connectors out and remove the wire connections.


4. Pull the armored cable wire out of the wire connection box and remove the canister from the ceiling base.


Tips Warnings


Ensure that the power supply to the recessed lighting fixture is completely off as you disassemble.
