Replacing the old light fixture was a new experience for me
but it wasn’t too bad. First turn off the power to the fixture, then position
your ladder and have your hand tools ready. I used a flat head screwdriver and
needle nose pliers for the removal. Unscrew the screw holding the canopy in
place.
The canopy should slide down exposing the ceiling box and mounting
bracket. You then turn the wire nuts counterclockwise and detach the wires. At
this point the chandelier should come down without any hang-ups. Do not let the weight of the chandelier hang
from the wires!
Most new homes have ceiling boxes mounted securely to the
joists above your ceiling but if that is not the case then you will need to
install a support between the joists to hang the ceiling box from.
Once the old fixture is down take a minute to assess the
situation and ensure you have the necessary parts and tools to proceed.
My better half chose the new fixture and it came unassembled.
This was kind of a pain to put together but I actually do like how it turned
out.

Once the fixture is wired and in place then you can have
your significant other attach the prisms and balls and chains.
