First you need to find the type of fixtures you want, as I assume you want all of these to be matching. Then you can hire a handy man to replace, these typically do not require a licensed electrician, in fact you can do this yourself if you are familiar with electrical work and do not mind working on ladders.

Don’t forget to check with ARC. Someone will complain if they can.

I took mine apart, cleaned them and put masking tape on all the glass areas, spray painted them, 2 coats. They look brand new. Just an idea.

You should also think about using LED lighting for those lighting fixtures. You should think about replacing the light switches with Lutron Caseta interrupter switches that can be programmed with you smart cellphone to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise.

Locate your fixtures on Amazon because the big box stores don't carry a lot of variety! The LED fixtures are the future! Fantastic way to improve the look of your home ! Kudos to you

Local lighting places are a great place to start, like Besco Lighting Center in Leesburg and in Ocala, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting or LED Hi Tek.
I eventually bought online @lightsonline. Good luck! |

I replaced my outside lights a couple of years ago and bought them at Besco in Leesburg. They have a good variety to choose from. Never got approval and no problems!

I just replaced mine as my neighbor gave me his old ones. I painted those, just like I painted my old ones. The old ones are all yours for $20. Will post a pic of them today.
