In my case, there were two hot wires (black) and two neutral wires (white) that came in from the hole. You are looking for the thicker wires (probably 12 gauge) that come into the fixture through a hole. Most of it is thinner gauge wire that is permanently attached to the ballast. You will notice a LOT of wire under the cover. This cover is not usually attached to the light fixture, so be prepared for it to come completely off. I just squeezed the cover a little, and the tab popped out. Mine had a little tab holding it in place. Find and follow safe clean-up guidelines online. If they do break, DO NOT use a vacuum to clean them up. You are safe as long as they don't break. Many of these have a mercury lining which is poisonous. Most tubes twist a quarter turn and can be pulled from the fixture. As you can see, mine were in pretty bad shape. Once the levers are released, the lens should fold down exposing the tubes. Be careful, screwdrivers may not be knives, but they can still cut flesh if they slip off the intended target and get forced into a finger or hand. Either way shouldn't require too much force. If yours don't slide, you may have to pry them away from the fixture with a flat head screwdriver. On mine, there were two little metal latches that slid sideways. We have pendant lamps and shades available in various different designs, letting you express your individual style.You will have to figure out how your fixture's lens is released. If you do have a high ceiling, however, our pendant lamps and shades are a great place to start. Instead, look for flush ceiling lights so you don’t risk bumping your head. If you have particularly low ceilings, a pendant or modern chandelier could prove to be a bit of an obstacle. But before you decide, you should consider the height of your ceilings. Our ceiling lights collection has something for every kind of room. Tips for choosing the best ceiling light fixtures for your space In these rooms, a ceiling light with a dimmer can come in handy. But once the guests leave and bedtime comes around, you might want to switch to softer mood lighting. You might want to have bright lights when entertaining guests in the living room, or when playing in the children’s room. Other rooms, such as a living room or children’s room, are multi-purpose. Your bathroom might also benefit from bright lighting for shaving or applying makeup in the morning. For example, you might want a bright ceiling light fixture in the hallway to easily find everything you need before leaving the house. In some rooms, it’s a good idea to prioritize bright, practical lighting. The second question is which room you’re lighting, and what you’re doing in the room. If you’re looking to light a workspace, such as a desk or a kitchen island – consider a flush ceiling light located directly above the work area. If you want to highlight a part of your décor, a ceiling track with spotlights might do the trick. As a general light source, a semi-flush, pendant light or chandelier located near the center of the room can be a good choice. When choosing a ceiling light fixture, the first question you need to answer is what it’s going to be used for. Whether you’re looking for a low hanging chandelier, an intricately designed pendant lamp or a ceiling track of spotlights, you’ll find plenty to choose from in our range. With ceiling lights from IKEA, you can light a room with style.
