Preparation

• 1). Shut the power off to the circuit you are working on.
  
  
• 2). Expose the wiring in the ceiling fixture by removing any light bulbs and additional plastic casing. You just need a hole in the ceiling with the electrical wires and mounting strap visible.
  
  
• 3). Prepare the chandelier for hanging. Put aside any removable items, such as light bulbs, and add them after the chandelier is attached.
  
  
• 4). Place the chandelier on a stable surface near the ceiling. Use a ladder with a platform attached. An alternative to this surface is to have someone assist you in the process.
  
  

Wiring

• 1). Twist the bare end of the black wire from the chandelier with the bare end of the black wire from the ceiling.
  
  
• 2). Twist a wire nut onto the black wires you twisted together.
  
  
• 3). Attach the white wire from the chandelier to the white wire from the ceiling.
  
  
• 4). Twist on a wire nut to the white wires you twisted together.
  
  
• 5). Tuck the wires into the ceiling.
  
  

Attachment

• 1). Thread the chandelier's mounting stem into the mounting strap from the ceiling.
  
  
• 2). Tighten the chandelier's locknut, which is in the center of the canopy, until it is securely attached.
  
  
• 3). Turn the power on, and test the light.
