Step 1 · Turn Off Power

Locate your home's main electrical panel and identify the circuit breaker that controls the lighting in the foyer. Flip the breaker to the 'OFF' position. If your panel is not labeled, you may need to turn off the main breaker to ensure all power is disconnected. Use a voltage tester to confirm that the power is indeed off at the existing light fixture.
