This is an AC fixture replacement in my bedroom.  The shade (fixture cover) was damaged and I replaced it with a flush-mounted LED fixture.

To document the completion of the BB, I provide the following:
0 - new fixture in box
1 - existing light fixture with damaged glass cover
2 - a picture of the partially disassembled fixture and electric box
3 - a picture of the new fixture being installed
4 - finishing the install
5 - a picture of the finished installation with the light turned on

Here is my submission for Electricity Aspect - Sand for Straw (duplicate):  Install/Replace a permanent AC Light Fixture BB.

This is an AC fixture replacement in the spare room/office/library of my sister's house.  The replaced fixture provided glaring light and was rarely used.  Since the flush-mounted LED fixture I installed in my bedroom came as a two-pack, I decided to install this one too.

To document the completion of the BB, I provide the following:
0 - new fixture in box
1 - existing light fixture  
2 - a picture of the new mounting bracket installed and I'm holding the previous fixture
3 - a picture of the new fixture being installed
4 - a picture of the finished installation with the light turned on

This is my second time doing this BB.  I needed a light in my basement.  I left room for a switch in the box when I installed outlets for my washing machine.  BEHOLD!

I replaced the old fan (both lights and fan stopped working) in our bedroom with a new one.

My closet light has been damaged. I've been looking for clothes in the dark! Time for a new fixture.
