Hello, there. I will be sharing videos about this and that, from DIY stuff to product reviews and some more. I hope you like my channel, please enjoy! :)
is it okay just to remove the can, leave the brackets and everything inside, and fit in the wafer LED and put the junction box of on top of sheetrock some place, is there a fire hazard?
Hello! Thank you for your question! When it comes to electrical work, safety is paramount. Generally, the installation process for LED wafer lights involves removing the old can light housing completely, including the brackets, to ensure a proper fit and secure installation. When left, it could obstruct airflow and trap heat, which can be a fire hazard. If unsure, always a good idea to call a certified electrician and consult about your concern. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for sharing your perspective! Totally, it sure is a lot of work, but I find the end result with LED lights to be worth the effort. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. Have a wonderful day! :)
I do not have a dimmable switch, and I am using regular light switch that only offers on/off. If you are asking how to change light color with a dimmer switch, I am not sure unfortunately. I will reply again when I find out.
Why not just use the upgrade bulb kit just screws In unless u have the fluorescent style then u just delete the ballast and use the current wires as line wires and instal the kit
My can light had a pull string on it. The whole pull string assembly was shot. It was so old the mechanism crumbled and rendered when whole bulb socket useless. My only option was to scrap the entire old can light and replace with new can or new flat led light.
There could be several reasons for the flashing. It could be incompatible dimmer switch if you do have one, could be voltage fluctuations, loose wiring connections, overloaded circuit, etc. etc.. My lights flicker when someone is using a hairdryer in the bathroom, for example, that I can assume is caused by circuit overload or something like that. If you are unsure, it's always best to consult with a licensed electrician. We all enjoy and love DIY but they are the ones who really know and understand their stuff. :)
I tried to install mine just now, but I didn't see a ground wire, so I aborted and decided to wait and understand the issue more and maybe hire help. I did notice one thing... the old lighting metal housing that is recessed into the ceiling has the black wire going into it and coming out again. Is this for grounding?
You made a right choice aborting if you do not fully understand what is going on. The black wires going in and out may not be serving as ground wires. I'd suggest hiring a professional help and ask to explain what is going on, so next time you'd know what to do. :)
Hi! It depends on the lights. If your lights have color changing feature, it might have the control on its junction box, just like seen here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KEpHf_SaWVQ.html Again, if your lights have such a feature, you might be able to change the color using light switch , watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z-edYJ5rhuY.html Good luck! :)
Thank you so much, your comment made my day! I completely agree. It's amazing how having the correct tools can simplify tasks. Here's to more efficiency and success. Cheers!
Well done explaining the whole process. A lot of videos gloss over important steps and yours took every measure to cover all the right steps to complete the removal and installation. I will be using this as a reference when I swap my kitchen lights out. Thanks!
