How to move a light fixture step 1.
Moving a wall light fixture box.
Keep the cut out and use it to patch the existing opening.
Install the required length of new wiring to the new location for the light fixture.
Remove the internal housing from the ceiling or wall.
Twist a wire cap onto each pair of wires you connect and push the caps into the box.
I then noticed where the wires were coming into the box in my case they came from the ceiling this is good and bad i then took my drywall saw and started sawing very carefully next to the lightbox toward the ceiling to go around the circle i traced.
We couldn t find a youtube video to teach us how so we filmed ourselves as we figured.
How we moved our bathroom vanity lights by moving the junction boxes.
Shut off the circuit breaker switch for the light you re planning to move.
Remove the external housing and the light bulb.
Remove the existing light fixture junction box and turn it so that it is accessible from above.
Next i took one of the new light boxes and traced an outline of where i wanted the new box placed.
