Bedroom Light Fixture help
Need help with an issue in replacing a bedroom light fixture. Our bedroom had one of those awful LED lights that always malfunctioned and eventually died. I bought a new one to replace it (I've replaced plenty of light fixtures as they tend to be pretty easy), but when i removed the old light I found this issue. It looks like A) there isnt a light box or mounting point, and B- they didnt use a flush mount and just screwed the light directly onto this stud. When I went to put the flush mount bracket that came with the light fixture (about 5" diameter) The bracket was too small and goes into the hole so it will not sit flush. Is there any sort of extender that i can use to install this flush mount? hate having a bedroom with no overhead light. Should i just call an electrician to install a light box to make it easier for the future?
