Replacing a ceiling fan with a recessed can light?

2 years ago

We just moved in to a new (to us) home and are in the process of replacing most of the light fixtures. Of particular concern is the UGLY ceiling fan in the great room. We want to replace the existing ceiling fan with a recessed can light to match the others in the same room. The fan is controlled by a separate switch, and I don't mind if the new can light is controlled by that same switch.

As part of this same project I want to replace the single can light in the entry with a hanging light fixture. I was planning to use that can light to replace the celing fan, as all can lights in the house are the same.


Are these fixture changes a simple and straightforward project? My husband has installed many light fixtures in our other homes, so I'm hoping this is something he can do withought hiring an electrician.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
