How to convert can light to flush mount?
To convert a can light to a flush mount, you will need to follow the steps below.
- Before beginning, make sure to have the required tools for the replacement. These tools include screwdriver, wire cutters, electrical tape and a recessed lighting converter kit.
- Once you have the tools, you can begin by removing the old, recessed lighting fixture. You may need to use a screwdriver to pull the recessed fixture off the wall.
- Once the light is removed, you will then install the converter kit into the wall. The converter kit comes with instructions on how to install it properly, so make sure to read it thoroughly.
- After installing the converter kit, you can install the new fixture. You can also connect the wires from the new fixture to the wires from the wall.
- After connecting the wires and putting wire nuts over them, you can turn the power back on and see if the flush mount will work.
