Carefully tuck all the connected wires back into the ceiling junction box. Make sure there are no pinched wires. Then, align the pendant light's canopy with the screws on the mounting bracket. Push the canopy flush against the ceiling and secure it by screwing on the decorative cap or tightening the canopy's mounting screws, depending on the fixture's design. Ensure the canopy is tight against the ceiling with no gaps. Once the light is mounted, screw in an LED light bulb into the socket. The video uses a Nostalgic ST19 LED bulb (4.5W, 40W equivalent, soft white).
