The professional begins wiring the new sconces. He strips the ends of the new electrical wires and connects them to the sconce's wiring using appropriate wire nuts, ensuring correct polarity (hot to hot, neutral to neutral, ground to ground). The sconce mounting plate is then secured to the electrical box. The sconce fixture is attached, and the light bulb is installed. The same process is followed for the second sconce. Simultaneously, the wires in the main switch box are connected to a new wall switch, replacing the old non-functional one. The switch plate is then attached. After all connections are made and verified, the power is restored at the breaker box.
