Once power is confirmed off, begin removing the old light fixture. Unscrew the central decorative nut that secures the fixture's cover to the ceiling box. Once this is loose, carefully lower the fixture to expose the electrical wiring. Identify the wire nuts connecting the fixture's wires (typically black, white, and ground) to the house wiring. Unscrew these wire nuts and gently separate the wires. The old fixture can now be completely detached and removed from the ceiling.
