Do you need to switch the electric to install this or do you install over the existing ceiling fixture?

This comes with a new mounting braket that is used to attach the house wires to the light and the lamp housing to the ceiling

You have to take down the existing fixture and rewire the new one but it was very easy and looks great

You'd need to take down the existing fixture but could use whatever wires remain (if that makes sense).

We just put it where the old light fixture was. It has the two wires and a ground just like the previous light fixture. Pretty easy installation.

No. I would run the electrical cables running out of this light fixture either through the ceiling and back down into the electrical box or run it through wire molding and affix it to the ceiling. The former would look much better.

take the fixture off like you are replacing a bulb and inside you will fine one or two switches, where you can change the timing and what you want to do. Hope this helps and good luck.

Yes, that is what we did to avoid ripping out the ceiling. The installing electrician wired it hot to the fixture, so we had a couple of arcs getting it out, but the 'guts' are a direct replacement.

It comes with a power cord so it can be plugged in to an outlet. Or you can cut the wires and install it on an existing fixture or (as I did) you can create a new fixture. If your going to create a new fixture be careful how large you make the two holes in the ceiling because this light's covers are smaller than usual. Lastly, I'll say I am very pleased with it.

Not at all. It was an easy install. I had the wire go from the battery to the switch. The switch had a ground, then went from the switch directly to the light. Then I had to ground the light. It was super easy. I put an inline fuse between the switch and the light but I don't see the need for it. All you need is some wire and wire connectors and you're set

It is electrically installed. If you are replacing an existing light it is probably just a matter of untwisting 3 colored wires and twisting the new ones back and mounting. Flip the circuit breaker 1st to protect yourself.

Mine only came with two loose wires. Had to put an electric cord on it. I don't use a switch with it. As to installation, it depends on what you want to do with it.

I did not have to install the provided wall switch. You can just install and use the existing on/off switch for the fan/light you have now, but you won't be able to dim/change speed etc. It will just be stuck on what ever it is at when you install. I purchased the remote separately and it works right out of the box with the fans, so you can just use your existing switch, buy the remote and then you can change all the functions.

No, it does not. You have to attach it to an existing pole or buy a pole and install the pole yourself. The light works really good. No need for electrical wiring.

No. You will have to wire in a switch or else add the LED lights to an existing switched circuite

You can hard wire the fan to the junction box on the ceiling. This allows you to use the chains for the light and the fan speed. You must enter the room and go to the fan to operate it. Also of note is the wireless remotes available that will operate the fan from where the remote is mounted, most times at the doorway of the room. Then there is no need for a switch wired to the house circuit. Hope that helps; and remember to turn off the circuit when installing.

No. If you really like this fixture, I suggest you have an electrician install it. I think it's great the way it is ! (swags are over-rated !)

Installs in place of a standard light switch, not 3 way where two switches control the same set of lights. It is wireless to turn on and off and dim if you have a Z-Wave controller. It replaces your existing switch and must be wired in to work.

I had an electrician do it, to replace an existing fixture, so the wiring was already there. I bought three and he did each in about 20 minutes

Yes, the fixture is screwed onto wiring harness just like a ceiling light fixture only from top of fixture insteadof bottom. Unscrew very top cap pull up cap unscrew nut pull electrical cord through (big) opening, everythingseparated

Not entirely clear what the question is but you need to have access to top of unit after it is screwed in place to connect duct and electrical wire. As discussed previously - it is difficult to install in existing ceiling since the hole you push the unit up through is larger than the grille so you will have to repair ceiling unless you remove part of the unit, and then reassemble unit after it is pushed up into ceiling. So it is better to install it from above ceiling.
