Test Connection
Install light bulb and switch on power at breaker to test that wiring has been connected properly. Confirm and switch off breaker.
Tape Ceiling Medallion
Attach ceiling medallion with clean-release tape. This temporarily secures medallion in place while finishing installation of fixture. Tip: Typically the hole left by a recessed fixture is larger than most caps, making necessary the use of a ceiling medallion to cover difference. A medallion is not needed if installing a ceiling-mount fixture.
Complete Installation of Fixture
Following directions for specific fixture used, complete installation and attach fixture cap flush to ceiling. Remove tape. Switch power on at circuit breaker.
