What happens here
Once ceiling drywall is installed, measure and mark the locations for recessed lights. Use a hole saw attached to a drill to cut circular openings in the drywall for each light fixture. After cutting, feed the electrical wiring through the opening. Connect the wires from the light fixture to the existing electrical wiring using wire nuts. Finally, push the light fixture into the opening, using its integrated clips to secure it flush with the ceiling. Ensure all connections are secure and safe.
Goal: Install recessed lighting fixtures in the ceiling.
