@ozarkmtn1 5 лет назад

Thanks Shannon sometimes wiring can get a little confusing, some of your older homes have more than black and white wires running through there walls and ceilings. I always like watching your videos for a little refresher course always a big help.

@debbielanning8086 5 лет назад

Very helpful video. I am not experienced at all doing this and am not sure where/what you attached the new ground wire to up in the ceiling hole. I'm guessing I will need to add a ground as my building is old. Excellent filming too, nice close ups so we can really see what you are doing.Thank you for teaching us!

@simmyjohn5879 21 день назад

This guide was excellent. Your tone & confidence was just what some of us need to overcome the nervousness of changing a light fixture. Quite frankly, changing one like this appeared as simple as changing an outlet. Thanks for the guide!

@Shilo2020 Год назад

I have this exact light I need to install but it's a 2 bulb version. 57 yr old woman selling my house and I want to try it. Circuit is off along with switch. My house built in '76 has aluminum wiring and I bought the anti-oxidant paste. My agent installed the other bedroom light but we didn't get to finish the 2nd one. I'd like to do it myself. This is a good video clearly showing every step. Why am I still nervous? My ex and I used to change all our lights together at our old house and I'm much brighter than he. Lol 😂 I can do this! Watched some vids on using the paste. Wish me luck!

@jeffj318 Год назад

I like changing out the old fixtures with LED slim lights maybe 12" or 15". Amazon has one that I like made by BLNAN which has a remote for changing the light color and the intensity plus some other cool features. Good for 30,000 hours.

Thanks. Paused it at 9:50 and with the confidence of an 8 year old boy hyped up on sugar, went off to start flipping switches on my breaker panel until I figured out which one I needed. Less than half an hour later, after scrounging for the needed tools (which included a butter knife as I was too lazy to continue looking,) I have a new fixture in my bathroom and it looks a thousand times better.
