Installation Steps:

1. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse box controlling the light fixture's power supply. Turn off the power completely before starting any work. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.

4. Wire Connections: Carefully connect the electrical wires from the ceiling to the light fixture. Typically, this involves connecting live (L), neutral (N), and ground (GND) wires. Match the colors (e.g., brown/red to live, blue/black to neutral, green/yellow to ground). Secure connections with wire nuts or terminal blocks provided.
5. Mount the Fixture: Align the light fixture with the mounting bracket or directly with the pre-drilled holes. Secure the fixture firmly to the ceiling using the provided screws. Ensure no wires are pinched during this step.
6. Test: Once the fixture is securely mounted, restore power at the circuit breaker. Turn on the light switch to test the functionality of the new LED ceiling light.
