How to Replace Exterior Light Fixture...Part 3
How to replace an exterior light fixture...Part 3 is what this DIY howto video is about. VideoJoe is just about ready to install the new exterior light fixture now that he has removed the old exterior light fixture but first he wants to pull the new exterior light fixture out of the box & take a quick look at it to see how it will be installed & to see what else he may have to do to it before going back up the ladder to install it. It's got a ground screw on the new mounting bracket but the old exterior light fixture did not even have a ground wire up there so his thought is if that old exterior light fixture has been up there for the last 40 years with no problems then he will wager he can install the new exterior light fixture without hooking up & connecting the ground wire that's attached to the new exterior light fixture. Most times however if there is an existing ground wire in the junction box then by all means connect the new ground wire! Or if you have an existing metal junction box then you could at least connect the new ground wire to the metal junction box as that is better than nothing. In this case however there's not even a metal junction box up there. Replacing an exterior light fixture is easy...when you know how. Watch & learn as VideoJoeShows you how to replace an exterior light fixture...Part 3. Easy!
