How To Replace A Bathroom Light Bar

Replacing a bathroom light bar is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. By following these steps, you can save yourself the cost of hiring an electrician.

### Tools you will need:

Phillips head screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
Wire cutters
Electrical tape
New bathroom light bar

### Safety first

Before you begin, turn off the power to the bathroom at the circuit breaker panel. This will prevent you from getting shocked.

### Remove the old light bar

Once the power is off, you can begin removing the old light bar. Start by removing the screws that hold the light bar in place. Once the screws are removed, carefully pull the light bar away from the wall.

### Disconnect the wires

Once the light bar is removed from the wall, you will need to disconnect the wires. Use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the screws that hold the wires in place. Once the screws are loose, pull the wires apart.

### Install the new light bar

Now that the old light bar is removed, you can install the new one. Start by connecting the wires to the new light bar. Make sure that the black wires are connected to the black wires and the white wires are connected to the white wires. Once the wires are connected, tighten the screws that hold them in place.

### Mount the new light bar

Once the wires are connected, you can mount the new light bar to the wall. Start by holding the light bar in place against the wall. Then, use a Phillips head screwdriver to drive the screws into the wall. Make sure that the screws are tight so that the light bar is secure.

### Turn on the power

Once the light bar is mounted, turn on the power at the circuit breaker panel. The new light bar should now be working.

### Conclusion

Replacing a bathroom light bar is a simple task that can be completed in a few hours. By following these steps, you can save yourself the cost of hiring an electrician.
