What happens here
With the mounting bracket securely in place, it's time to connect the electrical wires. Match the wires from the wall to the corresponding wires on the new light fixture: typically, black to black (hot), white to white (neutral), and bare copper or green to bare copper or green (ground). Twist the ends of the matching wires together and secure them with wire nuts, twisting the wire nuts clockwise until snug. Once all connections are made and secure, carefully push and tuck the connected wires back into the electrical box or behind the mounting bracket, ensuring that no wires are pinched or exposed.
Goal: Electrically connect the new light fixture to the household wiring
