What happens here
Wearing rubber gloves for safety, carefully disconnect the wire nuts connecting the light fixture's wires (typically black, white, and ground) to the house's electrical wiring. After disconnecting, immediately screw the wire nuts back onto the corresponding house wires (black wire to black wire nut, white to white, ground to ground) to keep them organized and protected. If a wire nut doesn't stay on a single wire, use a piece of tape to secure it. This also protects the exposed wire ends from paint.
Goal: Safely disconnect and secure electrical connections
