Brilliant video, every possible question answered without needing to be asked by a DIY'er. I was going to cave and pay £500+ to get mine done but knew I'd be more than capable to do it myself thanks to your video mate. Cheers 👍.
just like magic...after my last question about lack of access above my ceiling..... Your video pops-up with your video on "How to Install Down Lights with No Access" Thanks again... you're a star.
Just finished installing these today! From start to finish your video’s are full of help, used everything you had, defiantly need more how to video’s 👍🏼 cheers bud!
Again everything explain nice and clear ! I might put spotlights in my hallway now. Easy enough it's just a loop. Brilliant explained it wonderfully. Thanks
Great video mate. I've had downlights waiting to be installed for 3 years in an en suite that was done out 3 years ago but never got the lights done. Have managed to do them myself within 2 days of watching your video. Top man.
I absolutely love your channel. Your tutorials are always clear and easy to understand. Thank you for your dedication in putting together quality how to guides and keep up the good work. 💪
Great video many many thanks. Followed your video my room looks so much better now . Really liked the wago box & connectors. Really enjoyed doing the task after getting the confidence from your video. Many thanks again
Outstanding video, need to do this in my kitchen. I was very unsure how it was done and thought it would be very complicated and expensive but this will save me hundreds of £’s thank you!
Great video. U made what can be a tricky job look easy.I was waiting for all the negative sparkie expert comments 😂. Earth's still have to be connected. Wago box needs sealed with tie wrap. Wago box needs secured to beam.
Hi DIYGUY, just fitted a set of 3 downlights into my bathroom (IP Rated of course) to replace my old ceiling rose. Had a slight bit of figuring out to do when I got to the rose and discovered 5 cables coming out of it. Worked out they were the shaver socket feed and the extractor fan. Couldn’t have done it without your video, saved myself a lot of money and the bathroom looks much better. Thankyou mate 👍🏼
Fantastic video as everyone said answered alot of questions. I will be adding 2 more lights to my existing 6 downlights and feel confident to do this myself after watching your video!
As everyone above, greate video! Question of the day is...... What should you do with the blue wire coming out from the light switch ? As my spot lights are like yours (2 in - 2 out).
Was wondering if this spot lights are any good for kitchen, what sort of brand is this? Was looking for some good quality spot lights any idea? Cheers great video keep up
Thank you. I watched your other video (and a few others too) on ring vs radial. How do you know which you have? And why don't you get the overloading possibility of the cable with radial? Especially if you can string no end of sockets end on end. Comments off on that video, I guess it was too busy!
You laid the cables over the insulation and moved the insulation from around each light fitting. Is that deliberate? A great video and exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Firstly it is for the purpose of giving the viewer a good visual representation but also I applied covers over the spotlights so had to do this for that reason too
Thank you for the wonderful step by step video. I know nothing about lighting at all. I only know how to change a light bulb 😅 Still, good to know the concept of it. P. S. Love your tat. Super cool.
Great video, really helpful, my only question would be if this is being done downstairs how do you install or change the rose i was under the impression it has to be accessible, this i difficult downstairs due to the available access from above or below? thanks for any help
Got a few of these from Screwfix the bezel's come in diffent finishes i.e chrome, stainless steel, brushed nickel and more but like in the vlog so easy to fit
Really helpful! What if the room I want to fit the spotlights is in the ground floor? Once I open the holes, how do I fit the cables and do the connections at the end?
HANDY TIP: When cutting holes in ceiling (messy job) attach a plastic tray between hole cutter and drill to collect all the mess! I cut out the bottom of a popcorn bucket about 2” high ! Trust me , you’ll thank me later! 😊
Hi - Really good video. Can I just ask if the same method can be used for 2 way switching of spotlights utilising the Wago boxes (3 plate method with 3 cables coming in to the ceiling rose) - 1.Power, 2. Switch from kitchen back door, 3. Switch at hall entrance to kitchen)? Thanks
Great stuff Sir. I second the comments below to say that i was impressed about how clear your explanations were for simple minds like us. Quick question. If i wanted to still keep using the initial hole and install a Windlight. Would that still be possible? Thanks in advance.
Brilliant video! Every step mentioned...superb! Any tips to how you would go about if was a flat with no loft? Like how you would find out joist spacing etc
Thanks a lot. Without access above,this job will be a considerable amount more difficult even with cable rods and an inspection camera. Joists can be found with a tool called a stud buddy.
Hi, thank you for the video! I’m thinking of attempting this soon in my bathroom, I’ve just had a look at the wiring of the current pendant and there is only 1xL 1xN & 1E wire. What is the process? Thanks!
Thanks for the video, it's great. I have question: Is it possible to fit this sort of lighting without having any access to the space above, I live in flat and there is a flat roof above my bedroom ceiling! It sound impossible but I thought I would ask.
Brilliant video - Thank you! Question, about to fit downlights in a hall with an on/off switch at either end - how will the wiring differ how should it be wired?
I have successfully managed to get the first room of Downlights to work but the second room isn’t working at all, I’ve followed the same process but no luck, any ideas why this could be? Also how would I go about adding an extractor fan to the circuit?
Figured out the downlights in the next room only turn on if both switches have been turned on, so the previous room has to be lit in order for the bathroom to be, how do I fix that? 💀
Very detailed video I am looking to install some spotlights in my room but i dont have access to the loft space above as its been converted and covered in flooring. Is there a way to do this without having access from above? I guess you could fish the wires through the holes? Might be a-bit tricky but its easier than removing flooring?
I would have loved to watch you do it in the middle of a radial, not at the end. That extra loop out wire can make things feel more complicated so it would have been a good example. Still a great video though ❤
Hi mate brilliant video. You’ve given me the confidence to undertake a small project in my house. Have always wanted to install spotlights in my bathroom: Q1 Can I use conventional spotlights like you’ve shown in a bathroom? Q2 Any advice on calculating the number of spotlights I’ll need to install? Many thanks.
Thanks so much for this. I have a question: why connect the earth in the cable from the first light to the other earths that were in the ceiling rose if it’s not actually connected to the lights? And why do the downlights not have earth terminals? If something goes wrong is there not the danger that the light fittings could become live with no Earth to provide protection?
Great Videos easy to follow, Currently installing 2 rows of three downlights in living room and taken the feed from were the old pendent light but now the other half also wants a pendent light bang in centre of room as well as downlights. Lights need to work independently what would be the best way to wire this up
Great video! Thank you. I'm thinking about removing my downlights and replacing with a pendant. Anything I need to watch out for going from downlights to a pendant?
This is good vid for a house.What about flat with neighbours above?I need to convert pendant to spot lights.There are wooden joists and no option to fish the cable between holes.What is the best method?Can I cut slots in joists or do I have to dril holes on both sides and joist itself?
Great video, saving me a lot of money. Quick question seen these spots on screwfix and was wondering is these bulbs changeable or do you have to change the whole fitting?
