How To Replace Ceiling Rose With Light Fitting

If your home's ceiling rose is looking a bit worse for wear, or if you're simply looking to update the style of your lighting, replacing it with a new light fitting is a relatively simple task that can be completed in just a few hours.

Before you begin, it's important to gather all of the necessary tools and materials. You will need:

A new light fitting
A screwdriver
A wire cutter
A pair of pliers
Electrical tape
A ladder

Once you have all of your tools and materials, you can begin the process of replacing the ceiling rose.

1. Turn off the power

The first step is to turn off the power to the ceiling rose. This can be done by flipping the circuit breaker or removing the fuse that powers the circuit.

2. Remove the old ceiling rose

Once the power is off, you can remove the old ceiling rose. To do this, simply unscrew the screws that are holding it in place and carefully pull it away from the ceiling.

3. Disconnect the wires

Once the ceiling rose is removed, you will need to disconnect the wires that are connected to it. To do this, simply use a wire cutter to cut the wires close to the ceiling rose.

4. Connect the wires to the new light fitting

Now you can connect the wires to the new light fitting. To do this, simply strip the ends of the wires and twist them together. Then, secure the connection with electrical tape.

5. Mount the new light fitting

Once the wires are connected, you can mount the new light fitting to the ceiling. To do this, simply insert the screws that came with the light fitting into the holes in the ceiling rose and tighten them until the light fitting is secure.

6. Turn on the power

Once the light fitting is mounted, you can turn the power back on. To do this, simply flip the circuit breaker or replace the fuse that you removed earlier.

7. Enjoy your new light fitting

Now that the new light fitting is installed, you can enjoy the updated look of your room. Replacing a ceiling rose with a light fitting is a simple task that can be completed in just a few hours.
