Step 6 · Wire the Chandelier

Feed the chandelier's electrical cord through the center of the mounting bracket and the electrical box. Strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the chandelier wires if they are not already pre-stripped. Connect the wires according to standard practice: black (hot) wire from the chandelier to the black wire from the ceiling, white (neutral) wire from the chandelier to the white wire from the ceiling, and the bare copper or green (ground) wire from the chandelier to the bare copper or green wire from the ceiling. Use new wire nuts to secure each connection. Ensure all connections are tight and no bare wire is exposed.
