Eliminate the previous fixture

Your new ceiling light fixture will come with a mounting bracket. This may resemble a good piece of metal with screw holes and is very likely to be shaped like a plate or a strip. The mounting bracket has to be securely attached to the electrical box in the ceiling with all the wires dangling around the mount.
