What happens here

Mount a step ladder to safely reach the exterior light fixtures. Using the appropriate tools (such as a small wrench or a screwdriver for terminal screws), carefully disconnect and remove the light fixtures. After removal, replace the wire nuts onto the electrical wires and wrap them with Frog tape. This protects the wires from paint and secures the small screws, preventing them from getting lost. Always ensure the power to the lights is turned off before handling electrical components.

Goal: Safely remove outdoor light fixtures to allow for thorough painting.
