Hallway illumination

The style of lamp fixtures in the house vary a bit, so I am keeping with that tradition. All the new units are LED but the mounting styles vary a bit, still, easy to install.

The existing hall light used the same two screw mount as usual but the socket itself was a screw in ceramic style with gasket.
This came down and was removed very quickly. 


Since the new fixture does not use a two screw and twist slot system, that too was removed
 It was replaced with the new bracket which came with the lamp and uses a threaded rod and nut mount.

Two screws to hold the bracket to the box, then twist lock the wires.




Slide the lighting unit up along the threaded tube and tighten with the supplied gasket and nut.


Three screws to hold the glass dome on and ..done.



If you are to do one of these replacements may I suggest two useful items,  a step stool of some sort and a drop or spot light to see what you are doing.

Next will be the two downstairs rooms, bedroom and den.
