Bathroom Light Fixtures by Lowe’s

Have you ever felt like your bathroom light fixtures need to be thrown in the trash, but you’re too afraid to do something about them?

If you’re normal, that answer is yes.

Here’s the good news

Anyone and I mean anyone, can replace an old drab bathroom light fixture.

Today, I’ll share several tips I’ve learned over the years that I wish someone would have told me about.

Lets’s dive in!

How to Change Bathroom Light Fixtures

Light fixtures are pretty simple to change out.

But you do need some tips to do it safely. Here’s a good checklist to help you get started:

  1. Turn off the power at the breaker or fuse box
  2. Take off the olf glass sconces and light bulbs
  3. Unscrew the old fixture’s nuts
  4. Remove the fixture and test the electrical wires with a voltage detector
  5. Undo the hot wires, then neutral wires, and finally the ground wire
  6. Replace the old mounting bracket with the new one
  7. Wire the ground wire from the light to the mounting bracket
  8. Wire the neutral wires then the hot wires
  9. Add the light to the wall and secure it with the decorative nuts
  10. Add the sconces, tighten the sconce nuts and insert LED light bulbs
  11. Turn on the power at the breaker box and enjoy the fruits of your labor

This step by step tutorial will show you how to swap out your old fixture for a new one.
