Lynne W on Jan 22, 2014Just like other light fixtures, there is a 4" hole in the ceiling where 3 wires come from. The 2-3' feet of fixture is probably secured to the ceiling with 2 screws. To remove it, start with cover and bulbs, you should see the screws holding it to the ceiling, remove those. There should be a black, white and ground wire from the fixture into the ceiling. You're ready!Helpful Reply
