Outdoor LED lights are a great way to brighten up the outside of your home, however, if they are damaged or outdated, you may need to replace them. Luckily, replacing outdoor LED lights is a relatively simple job that can be done in just a few steps.
The first step to replacing outdoor LED lights is to turn off the power to the existing fixture. This is essential for safety and should not be overlooked.
Once the power is turned off, it’s time to remove the old fixture. This is done by unscrewing it from its mount and gently lifting it away from the wall.
Next, you’ll need to attach the new fixture in its place. Make sure that all of the electrical connections are secure and that there are no exposed wires before continuing. Once everything is connected properly, it’s time to attach the new light fixture.
To do this, use screws or mounting brackets provided with the new fixture and attach it securely to the wall or ceiling. Be sure not to overtighten screws as this can damage both the fixture and wall. Once everything is secured in place, you can now move on to wiring.
Wiring
The wiring for an outdoor LED light is relatively straightforward. All you need to do is connect one wire from your home’s power source (usually a circuit breaker) directly into the light’s power input port.
Then connect another wire from the output port of your light into an outlet or switch box where you will be able to control when it turns on and off.
Final Steps
After wiring has been completed, you’re ready for testing! Turn on your home’s circuit breaker and then flip your switch or outlet box on/off switch several times until you see that your new light turns on when activated. Once everything looks good, re-install any covers that were removed during installation (if applicable).
Conclusion
Replacing outdoor LED lights isn’t too difficult of a task as long as all safety precautions have been taken beforehand! All that’s needed for installation is turning off power at its source before removal of old fixtures; attaching new fixtures; properly wiring them; and testing them out before re-installing any covers! With these steps followed correctly, anyone can successfully replace their own outdoor LED lights.
