BEST METHOD for Installing Recessed Lights! 

As an electrician I will never blindly drill out holes like that dry wall is getting cut cuz I gotta know what's up there before I drill

Makes it look so simple, I want to do this in my living room

Short and informative. Great video. Thank you.

Better question is why are you still using recess cans versus the new slim fits. Recess can you gotta make sure you know we’re near any beams? Where with the slim fits you could be directly under beam and still install the light and it looks better than the cans.

clean. I know im late to the party, but how many times did you drill through wires, or hit pipes drilling with that bit?

There is no way I am doing this solo. Professional hire it is.

Omg!!... as a new guy on this I have to do this all the time it doesn’t matter if I am on different city or different boss, I have to do the holes... well , this is going to help me and I will vindicate myself...thank you!!...🙏🏻

The only scary thing about doing that is you never know whats on the other side of the beams. Theres a chance you could hit a pipe or wire. But it definitely works

Crazy that people still use can lights. I did this in my kitchen earlier in the year. It's not as simple as he made it seem

How much do u charge to add the 4 lights to an existing lights ? And what if they didnt have an existing line ?

My fear is hitting pipes etc

I always use a key hole saw for the holes just incase but I got very lightly and not too much in

Is there a need for the can? There didn’t seem to be any lose insulation.

Hey, it's Evey from EzeeLum! We're really glad you liked the video. Our team has been working hard on the Matter smart RGBWW downlight, and we'd be honored if you'd like to test it out and share your thoughts in a review.

Who still uses cans

How do you figure out spacing on lights?

Could u make a video showing the power source

if you wanna be 100% sure of not hitting obstructions your only option is to remove all of the drywall to run the wire. It’s not the end of the world. Or if you want to save time and money you send it with the 6ft bit.

Thanks for sharing

I wanna install new pot lights and I have a fairly good experience doing so in a new build, however, I am now trying to upgrade an existing room and not sure what would be the best way to run the wires. The room has two light fixtures in the ceiling obviously with own junction box for each. Each light fixture is controlled by a separate switch in that room while one of them is also controlled by another switch neat the stairs. I am also installing a dimmer switch with the pot lights. What's the best way to do it? Shall I connect all pot lights to the junction box controlled by the 3-way switch and completely cancel the other light switch/junction box in the room or split the pot lights in half, one half connected to one junction box and the other half to the other? Would that be weird or unprofessional to have to light up half of that room with one switch and the other half with another? Are pot lights supposed to light up all together in a given room or is it ok to split them between two switches. Moreover, if I did that then the dimmer switch can only control half of the lights and not all. Shall I install another dimmer switch for the other half of the pot lights and have each half function independently? I feel like it's gonna be unprofessional and maybe also annoying while trying to match the dim level on each switch. What do home renovators do in this case, do they cancel one light switch and it's junction box and just connect all pot lights to the existing 3-way switch and install the dimmer switch there? Thank you so much in advance.

And if there are ceiling joists, then you have holes to patch. Its best to actually go into the attic and find the joist so you can make everything is the same distance off the wall or use a stud finder.

And can most electricians do it this way by snacking the wire and not going into the attic ?

You got balls drilling across blind…

Now how can you change it ? Lighting blew my mom bulbs out last year and the 4 electricians said they don’t know .

What’s the name of the bit?

Is a recess light wired the same as a regular Keelus?

What drill bit are you using? I need to buy 1.

How much it would cost to have six lights in ceiling in London

How much it cost

How do you change the bulbs when required?

Link to the lights

As soon as he said poke a hole he’s wrong. You get your butt in the attic and you find those cross beams

How many hrs does this take you on average?

What's the price for something like this?

Isn’t he supposed to secure the cans?

how much did that run?

How does that cost ? And where are you located?

Ever heard of a stud finder buddy?

Holy shit your a beast. I would like 2 please

Nice

It’s not called a beam it’s a called a joist 😊

Heads up!! Use Wafers next time instead.. no need for a Remodel can.

Smart

Nah that’s magic 👌

Dude sounds like Patrick Ridge, I swear

Blindly drilling like that is sooo dangerous!! Please be aware !!! You never know what’s in those Cavities (electrical / plumbing / hvac/ ect ) you could really cause some Damage or even worse hurt yourself

Goes smooth until while drilling blind you hit a water line ran along the joist your drilling, or another electrical line or worst case a flexible gas line. It’s always risky business drilling blind.

The number of folks in here, including OP,, that don't know the difference between a beam and a joint. 🤦

A dog 🐕 💪🏾

this is reckless there's absolutely no way to know if you're gonna hit existing wire or pipe. some DIYer handyman is gonna go try this and flood the home

I can’t believe you insurance can lights instead of LEDs

"But what if he shot you in the face?" "Dumb and Dumber"

Should of just used retro fit lights

What size drill bit for 14 guauge wire?

It’s never that easy this is a new house , older houses have layers of horse hair plaster , laths , and other kinda shit in the ceiling even with a flex rod it’s a fucking head ache

I don’t see proper steps

I wojld have used wafers

Come to my house please

Water/radiators pipe😅

Replaced the tip??? What!! Pause one sec

This goof will throw those bits after he creates the customers first flood

Hows the sober living

Looks so easy but it’s not , if you think it’s worth it to hit pipes and wires go head but it’s not the right way to do it

Lights in America are so weird. Why not just have a simple down light without that big bucket it sits in.

Ah your screwed up right there because you're old mindset is still using canned housing vs. slim fit. With the slim fit recessed lights you don't need to check for beams because they're the same thickness as the drywall. The only time you're supposed to use recessed lighting housing is for new construction jobs. For old work use slim fit. And now halo just came out with the thin plate bracket for slim fit for new construction, so you're wasting your time and money. The new mounts cost $5 each

Not sure why anyone is still using cans lighting🙄

Where did you bought the bid ?

Can lights are so dated. Puck lighting is easier and more affordable

Those drill bits should be illegal!...they are extremely dangerous...if you accidentally just graze a wire or water line, you could cause a world of problems...if you just miss a nail and expose a sharp edge, you could inadvertently strip your wire when pulling.. inspectors insist on seeing electrical work before a house is insulated and boarded, yet pulling wires blindly through drywall seems to be ok!

it needs skillsto use auger...if so called "electrician" dont have it .. then too bad so sad

Insanity

No need to worry about hitting the ceiling joists anymore. Led wafer still fits.

Nice stolen video

People are still using these shitty remodel cans?

The scary thing is people are still using can lights ...really? How old is this video ??? Is this 2010 all over again ?

😂😂😂😂 absolutely not. Blind drilling is so stupid. Also if there is attic. Get your ass in there and install new construction cans. The best way.

Should’ve just used waffles tbh 🫠
