do I need an electrician to change a light fixture? Replacing light fixtures Generally speaking, a homeowner can replace light fixtures. If the amperage isn't high enough to cover the wattage of your new light, you will need an additional wire run from your circuit breaker. It's best to hire a licensed and qualified electrician for such a task.

Besides, how do I know if my light fixture is bad?

To diagnose these:

1. Check the lightbulb to see if it is loose in the socket, or has burned out.
2. Check the socket tab in the center of the socket.
3. With the power shut off, check the wire connections on the switch to make sure they are all tight.
4. Check the wires to the light bulb socket.

What would cause a light fixture to stop working?

First check the bulb. If the light does not work with a new bulb, check whether the circuit breaker or fuse governing the fixture has tripped or blown. This often happens when a bulb burns out the moment it is turned on. For safety when resetting a breaker or changing a fuse, stand on a dry surface.
