We all wish to feel secure when we are in our house. We wish to be able to feel safe when we arrive home late at night. If we live alone or have small children we will feel better knowing that nobody will come in the house without us knowing.One of the more low-priced methods to keep your home safe and sound is to set up outdoor lights. These are placed along the front and back doors. Keep these lights on and criminals will not want to approach your place for fear of being spotted by the neighbors.These not only help to keep you safe - but they supply a good look to your place. These have the ability to be set up at a home improvement store in a mixture of styles and sizes. You will be able to put them into any existing fixture and have it match the look of your home. Expect to spend around $100 to $300 on one fixture.Before you are able to install the light you have to first turn the power that runs to the present fixture off. You will be able to do this by turning off the main switch. When that is done you will be able to work on taking off the current fixture.Find the metal strip that extends over the center of the opening to the mounting box. If there is none than you have to put one on. Strip ¾ of an inch of insulation from the wires. Link the wires of the mounting box to the new fixture and set caps over them. The green wire splice need to be connected to the grounding screw over the mounting strap.Place the wires in the box and link the new fixture to the mounting strap. Secure the canopy of the outdoor ceiling light and turn the power back on.
