  1. 3:29–4:49 Connect Electrical Wires From Recessed Staircase Lighting, Step 6: Connect Wiring

    With the light fixture held by its ground wire (or with assistance), twist the bare copper ground wire from the new fixture together with the house's bare copper ground wire. Secure this connection with a wire nut. Next, twist the white wire from the new fixture together with the house's white (neutral) wires and secure with a wire nut. Finally, twist the black wire from the new fixture together with the house's black (hot) wires and secure with a wire nut. Double-check all wire nut connections to ensure they are tight and secure, preventing any wires from slipping out. Carefully push all connected wires back into the wall box, making sure they are neatly tucked in to allow the fixture to sit flush.
