Remove a link from the fixture’s chain and hang it on the fixture bar.
Mount the fixture bar to the electrical box and adjust the height of the canopy so it fits flush against the ceiling. Slide the wire through the back of the box and place it in the opening. Remove a knockout from the electrical box and place a wire connector entry into the hole. #A light table install#
Install the electrical box bracket over the brace and attach the new electrical box to the brace.
Place a fan brace inside the hole and adjust it so it’s centered and snug against the joists. Also, feel for the wire and pull it down through the new hole. Carefully reach inside the ceiling to ensure there is enough room for the electrical box. Use a 4-inch hole saw or a keyhole saw to cut through the ceiling. Remove the old electrical box and pull the wires out from the back of the box. Remove the existing light fixture from the ceiling. Use a test bit bent at 2 1/2 inches to test for pipes, blocking, and other obstructions to ensure there is room for the new fixture. Create a small hole by pushing the screwdriver through the ceiling at the mark. Use a plumb bob or laser level with a plumb setting to transfer the mark to the ceiling. Measure the length and width of the table and mark the exact center on the tape. Place a piece of painter’s tape on the table in its center. Use the tape measure to position the table in the desired position within the room. Be sure to shut the breaker off and test the switch and fixture with the non-contact tester to ensure it’s off. 
Locate the switch that runs to the light fixture.When the situation calls for moving the fixture away from the switch, it may be necessary to use the existing light’s electrical box as a junction box, add more wire to reach the new location, and then cover the box with a blank cover plate. Note: This technique works when moving a light fixture closer to the light switch, as there should already be enough wire in the ceiling to reach the new fixture. After assessing the situation and getting some careful measurements, the two move the table, shut off the breaker and get to work moving the light fixture.
