  3. Electrical Connections: Connect the fixture's electrical wires to your household wiring. Typically, this involves connecting live to live (black/brown), neutral to neutral (white/blue), and ground to ground (green/yellow). Ensure all connections are secure using wire nuts.
  4. Secure Canopy: Carefully lift the fixture and attach the ceiling canopy to the mounting bracket, securing it with the decorative nuts or screws provided. Ensure no wires are pinched.
