        "text": "If the existing wiring connected to your light fixture is old, frayed, or damaged, it is crucial to address these issues before or during the fixture replacement. Simply replacing the fixture without addressing compromised wiring can be unsafe. A qualified electrician will inspect the wiring, make necessary repairs, or upgrade the circuit to ensure the new fixture operates safely and in compliance with current electrical codes.",
