Does exchanging the front porch light require an electrician?

Question

I want to switch out the old one on the front porch with the new one I got.

Answer 1

NO IT IS EASY.TURN OFF THE POWER FIRST. THERE IS ONLY TWO WIRES PLUS MAYBE A GREEN GROUND WIRE.THE BLACK WIRE IS THE ONE THAT WILL SHOCK YA,BUT LIKE I SAID TURN THE POWER OFF.WIRE NUT THE WHITE TO THE WHIT AND BLACK TO BLACK.THATS ALL.THE NEW FIXTURE SHOULD COME WITH DIRECTIONS IN CASE YOU HAVE PROBLEMS.

Answer 2

No   Turn off the power to the light  I do it at the breaker(fuse) box.   Then do the "change over".   Turn power back on.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

No, it does not require an electrician.

Turn off the breaker / fuse, unscrew the old one, and put the new one up.  Green, Black and white wires.
