Ensuring Accuracy

Cutting Holes
Safety Precautions
Safety comes first when cutting holes in the ceiling. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. Use a dust mask to avoid inhaling particles. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical accidents.

First, find the circuit breaker panel in your home. Look for labels that indicate which breaker controls the area where you plan to install the lights. This step ensures safety during installation.
Verifying Power is Off
Flip the switch to turn off the power. Use a voltage tester to confirm that no electricity flows to the wires. This precaution prevents electrical shocks and keeps the process safe.
Installing Wiring
Routing Wires
Route the wires from the power source to each light location. Use fish tape to guide the wires through the ceiling. Keep the wires organized to avoid tangling.
Connecting to Power Source
Connect the wires to the power source. Strip the wire ends with wire strippers. Use wire connectors to secure the connections. Make sure everything is tight to prevent loose connections.
