Licensed electrician required to install a ceiling light.

Existing wiring is already in place, and I will provide the mounting bracket, instructions, and all required bulbs. The job may involve some minor drilling into the ceiling to secure the new bracket. Scope includes removing the existing fitting, installing and mounting the new light, connecting the wiring, and testing to ensure everything is working properly.
