RELATED QUESTIONS

Is it safe to replace a light fixture with the switch off?
There is a loop to the switch. There are wires at the light even though the switch is off. If the light switch is turned off, you should be fine. If the light switch isn't in close proximity to the sockets where you will be working, place a sign over it or tell family members not to touch it.
Can I put a junction box in the ceiling?
If a junction box can't be accessed in the future, don't install it in a concealed wall or ceiling space. Solid covers with no holes must be used for junction boxes.
Can you install a light switch without a ground?
As long as the box is grounded, the light switch will pick up ground if you screw it in. The switch will work if the box isn't grounded.
Can I use stranded wire for light switch?
There is one answer. Standard switches are easier to wire with solid wire than with stranded. You have to wrap the wire around the terminal to keep it out of the screw head.
How do you install ceiling lights without wires?
The electrical box that hangs from the fixture will attach to the side of the ceiling joist if you locate it with a stud finder.
