Place the ladder below the old lamp but slightly to the side so you can comfortably and safely reach its base on the ceiling. The old lamp is held in place by a nut just below its base, using the wrench loosen it and gently stretch the electric wires above. There should be two wires connected to the lamp and sometimes, not always, a ground wire sticking from the side of the base. Remember the ground screw is green most lamps have one even if it is not connected.
If you are putting up a hanging lamp, this is the time to add the chain and the additional wire so it hangs where you want it. Using the pliers first add the additional chain. All you have to do is open one of the links add the new chain and close it up again. To add the electric wire, peel about one inch of plastic cover from each wire and tie it tightly with the wire already attached to the lamp. Cover each individually with electric tape and add another layer covering both wires together. Take down the original lamp and set it aside, bring up the new one and tie each lamp wire to one of the wires hanging from the ceiling. It does not matter which wire you tie with each wire on the ceiling, the lamp will work anyway. Again make the knots between wires tight, cover them individually with electric tape with a final covering of both wires. Put the lamp holder through the hole on the base that is screwed to the ceiling, and tighten the nut holding the lamp firmly against the ceiling.
