Replacing dated wall sconces has an immediate impact and is a very cost effective way to remodel a room. You don’t need to hire an electrician for this kind of project. Electricity has to be respected but not feared. These steps will make the process safe and simple for you to do.
Common electrical wiring for modern houses is done with both two and three wire cables which have a copper grounding wire. The difference is that three wire cables are used for three-way and four-way switches. Two wire cables have a black, white and a bare ground wire. Three wire cables have black, white, red and a bare ground wire. Typically, the black and red wires are hot, white is neutral and the ground wire is exposed copper.
Turn off the power at the breaker box. Loosen the screws holding the plate of your light fixture to the wall. Gently let the wall sconce down until the slack of the electrical wires is taken up and the fixture can safely dangle. Keep your hands away from the wires. Now, test the wires with a circuit tester to make sure the power is off.
Separate the wall sconce wiring from the wiring in the junction box. Just unscrew the small colored wire nuts and pull the wires away from each other. Now, straighten out the wires coming from the junction box so you can tie them into your new wall sconce with greater ease.
