Home Depot sells many brands of ceiling light fixtures, but only one is the Home Depot brand. That brand is Commercial Electric. Commercial Electric light fixtures are high-quality fixtures that are generally inexpensive. They are available in multiple finish styles that are easy to match to other hardware finishes in the home. A Commercial Electric may take a novice electrician about 30 minutes to install. The installation is straightforward. There are no special wiring tricks or obstacles to overcome along the way. Home Depot made it possible for every do-it-yourselfer out there to upgrade their lighting and keep to a budget.
Instructions
1. Turn the power off that services the light fixture box at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the fixture and all of its hardware parts from the packaging and look through them to be sure everything is included. It is best to be sure all parts are present before beginning the installation so the installation will not be hampered if something is missing.
3. Attach the mounting strap to the fixture electrical box with the two screws that are provided and a screwdriver.
4. Attach the supply black (hot) wire to the black fixture wire using a wire nut. Attach the supply white (neutral) wire to the white fixture wire with a wire nut. Attach the supply green or solid copper (ground) wire to the green fixture wire with a wire nut.
5. Hold the ceiling pan portion of the light fixture against the ceiling and attach it to the mounting strap with the two provided mounting screws.
6. Thread the hex jamb nut onto the end of the threaded rod that will attach to the ceiling pan. Hand-thread the threaded rod into the hole in the center of the ceiling pan and tighten it by hand. Install a light bulb into the bulb socket.
7. Hold the glass fixture shade up to the ceiling pan and pass the threaded rod through the hole in the shade. Slide the cap over the threaded rod and thread the finial onto the threaded rod. Tighten the finial by hand.
8. Turn the power supply back on and test the light fixture.
