Overview & Challenge
**Overview:**
The carriage light replacement project aimed to enhance the exterior look and functionality of the home by replacing an old, weathered fixture with a modern, energy-efficient carriage light. The new light was carefully selected to complement the home’s architectural design while also improving nighttime visibility and safety. The installation process included removing the existing fixture, inspecting and updating the wiring for a safe connection, and installing the new light to ensure a seamless finish. This upgrade not only boosted curb appeal but also provided a more efficient lighting solution for the outdoor space.
**Challenges:**
One of the main challenges of this project was ensuring the existing wiring was up to code and compatible with the new fixture. Since older homes often have outdated wiring, extra care was needed during inspection and rewiring to prevent potential electrical issues. Another challenge involved safely removing the old fixture without causing damage to the surrounding exterior, especially since it had been mounted for many years. Additionally, aligning the new light fixture to the existing mounting point required precision to ensure a secure and level installation.
