Before you begin, gather the following materials and tools:

5. Ceiling medallion (optional for added decorative touch)
Tools:

Step 1: Turn off the Power
Safety is the top priority. Before you start the installation process, turn off the power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker. Use a voltage tester to ensure that the power is completely off before proceeding.
Step 2: Remove the Existing Light Fixture
If there is an existing light fixture, carefully remove it by unscrewing the mounting screws. Disconnect the wires, and set aside the old fixture.
Step 3: Prepare the Wires
Using wire strippers, strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the wires. If you are installing a new light fixture along with the canopy, follow the manufacturer's instructions for connecting the wires.
Step 4: Install the Ceiling Light Canopy
Hold the ceiling light canopy over the electrical box, aligning it with the mounting screws. Secure the canopy in place by tightening the screws with a screwdriver. Make sure the canopy is level and snug against the ceiling.
Step 5: Connect the Wires
Match the wires from the electrical box to the corresponding wires from the light fixture. Secure them together using wire nuts, ensuring a tight connection. Tuck the connected wires into the electrical box.
Step 6: Add a Ceiling Medallion (Optional)
For an extra decorative touch, consider adding a ceiling medallion around the canopy. Attach the medallion to the ceiling using screws, and make sure it is centered with the light fixture.
Step 7: Turn on the Power
Once the canopy and light fixture are securely in place, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker. Test the light to ensure it is functioning properly.
