I have a light equivalent to this in my dining space, and I want to get rid of it. Is this difficult, and how a lot damage to the underlying ceiling really should I expect? It can be an external fixture, not set into the sheetrock, just connected to it.

I want to set up a chandelier in a different area, so I don't want to be ready to tell exactly where the previous fixture was at all.

Quite straightforward.

Shut off the circuit breaker feeding electricity to the light.

Get rid of the screws holding the mild fixture and the whole issue really should arrive free.

Undo the wires and proceed to set up the new fixture.
