    Connect the fixture's wires to the house wires:

    • Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the outlet box using a wire nut (G).
    • Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the outlet box using a wire nut (G).
    • Connect the bare copper or green ground wire from the fixture to the green or bare copper ground wire from the outlet box, and to the mounting bracket (A) using a ground screw if available, then secure with a wire nut (G).
