Things you Should Know before replacing light fixture

The first thing you should do when considering replacing a light fixture is to check for any obvious signs of damage or wear. If there are any physical signs of damage on the bulb, socket, or wiring, then you need to replace the entire unit instead of just the bulb or socket because this can lead to an electrical fire in your home and make it unsafe for anyone in your household. If there are no visible signs of damage on the light fixture and everything seems to be in order, then you may want to replace the bulb. However, if a bulb is out of warranty and you're not sure how much it will cost to replace the entire fixture, then you might want to consider recouping your money by swapping out the lightbulb for a different one that's cheaper or less expensive than buying an entirely new fixture.
