Light Lighting

Light Lighting

how do i change from recessed lighting to a standard light fixture?

i want to take out the recess lighting and put in a normal light but i need to figure out how to put in the bracing for an electrical box to install the new fixture.

you can buy ceiling boxes with brackets on them that will nail ot the studs. The problem may be the drywall hole after you have taken out the recessed lighting.

You may have to cut out a section of the drywall and replace the section with a new piece and cut out the opening for the ceiling box. All this will depend on how big the recessed lighting hole was to begin with.

When I do this I will find the stud and cut the drywall one half the thickness of the stud on both ends and then install 2 2X4's on the sides. This will give me a good spot to nail the drywall up and not have to worry about it sagging. Good luck
