Will this light screw into an existing light fixture, like a ceiling mount ceramic style, or does it require complete new wiring.

You need to remove the old fixture that very likely is held in pace by the junction box. Remove the wire nuts and then install this fixture. If you can figure out how to turn off the power to this fixture, have a screwdriver and maybe some electricians tape you can easily replace your old fixture. If you can not figure out how to turn off the power and do not have a screwdriver do not attempt this. Really hope you have these basic skills.

Hi Daniel,This isn't a light bulb this is an entire fixture which means you must replace the fixture.It's only 2 wires from what I recall.

It doesn't screw in (like a light bulb). If you have an existing ceramic light bulb fixture, you would have to unscrew that (two screws), disconnect the hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (bare copper) wires by unscrewing the wire nuts. That would leave the plastic or metal ceiling box recessed in the ceiling. You would then connect the wires coming out of that box (black, white, bare) to the corresponding black, white, bare/green wires on the Lithonia fixture, using wire nuts, and then use two screws to fasten the Lithonia fixture to the ceiling box. The white plastic diffuser then gets reattached to the fixture (push it up and turn--a bayonet attachment). Done. No "new" wiring per se. It doesn't screw in (like a light bulb).

Hi Daniel,No it does not need new wiring. Your ceramic style fixture is connected to an electrical box (we hope)with twoscrews. Take off the fixture (do not forget to flip the appropriate breaker off) The Lithonia fixture attaches withthe same screws you have taken out before. If you need additional clarification please let me know.Gerard

It attaches right to existing octagon boxes and uses existing wiring where black, white and neutrals are accessible

No, you have to wire it in. It's a great light, though. I used it to replace an out door light that didn't work too well. You can have a professional do it or if you have a wire running to the area, just hook up the ground, hot, and neutral wires using wire nuts. After you finish, it might be a good idea to put silicon around the base where it meets the wall.

You will have to remove the socket and hard-wire this fixture to the electric source. You may be able to find an adapter to give you plain wires from a screw-on socket though.

I had to use the original mounting bolts. Everything else is there though. Mounts where existing lights are and wiring plugs right in

the light remounts in the same screw pattern as the manufacturer there are two holes on the top and two on the bottom for screws it was a exact replacement for what i needed i did have to add some sealer around edges hope this helps

You need some wiring to connect this light to. I'm surprised a bedroom has no wiring in the ceiling.

The light comes with all the instructions and hardware for hardwiring it to the ceiling; not what we wanted or needed. We went to the local home improvement store (pick just about any), and picked up the plug adapter (all of about $4 maybe?) and now have it suspended and plugged in to a socket. It took longer to weave the wires through the chain than it did to install the adapter! It is a very nice and well made light.

Ideally, youre swapping it out from a pre-existing ceiling light fixture. In that case, just follow the enclosed directions. IF not replacing an existing light fixture, then you will need an electrician.

It comes with a cable that is dropped from the ceiling. I had existing ceiling pendants, so these were a replacement but, you can install as a new fixture.

I am currently unaware of any changes to the FF75 lighting lineup. Drilling for the mounting would be required.

All this takes to install, is one screw. Can not remember if it came with the screw or not.. Easily done. Decide location, get a screw driver and screw it in. And this light is quite a bit more than I thought it was going to be. Don't get me wrong, it is not a spot light. It gets the job done.

Yes, the fixture is screwed onto wiring harness just like a ceiling light fixture only from top of fixture insteadof bottom. Unscrew very top cap pull up cap unscrew nut pull electrical cord through (big) opening, everythingseparated

Hello Betty Jo - - - Your existing bracket will probably not match up with this unit, but; the new bracket will easily fit onto the screws that are already there. Just 'loosen' the screws (don't take them all the way out) turn the old bracket off the screws and then insert the new bracket onto the screws and re-tighten the screws. You should get the adapters to make sure that no re-wiring is needed. You'll get two different ones in each package(KA-F or the KA-B, it will be an additional expense but worth the time to me) match/use the one that fits the plug coming from the ceiling. Then plug the adapter into the unit and push the wires up into the ceiling and twist the new unit into place onto the newly installed bracket. It's really simple to install and they do come with a re-wire set if you prefer to do a re-wire. I installed 4 of them with the adapters in less than a half hour, doing a re-wire would have taken another half hour and I had to my son to his ball game. All the very best to you.

Yes, the fixture includes a standard base screw in style socket. Wiring is provided, however, you will need to attach to an appropriate enclosure with 1/2" thread.

Hi Cathy. I have to admitt that I have not yet had the post installed or taken it out of the packaging. I am awaiting an electrician to install it. If you are referring to a hole or holes near the top end of the pole to secure the lighting fixture, I don't believe this model has any. I have another post in my yard that is many many years old and the fixture fits securely down over the post without need for screws or other attachent. I would think that if a hole is needed to secure a fixture one could easily be drilled with an ordinary driller and bit. Hope this helps!

It is electrically installed. If you are replacing an existing light it is probably just a matter of untwisting 3 colored wires and twisting the new ones back and mounting. Flip the circuit breaker 1st to protect yourself.

No it does not screw in like a light bulb it is a halogen type but looks like a mini florescent light. The replacements a "very" expensive but it throws a lot of light
