Strip about 0.5 to 0.75 inches of insulation from the black (hot), white (neutral), and bare copper (ground) wires coming from the Romex cable. Also, strip the corresponding wires (typically black for hot, white for neutral, and green for ground) that are pre-wired inside the LED light fixture. Connect the incoming black hot wire to the fixture's hot wire, the incoming white neutral wire to the fixture's neutral wire, and the incoming bare copper ground wire to the fixture's green ground wire. Secure each connection with a wire nut. Once all connections are made, carefully fold and tuck the wired connections neatly inside the fixture's cavity.
