Installing height adjustable pendant lights | step by step diy 

Thanks very much!

Thanks, I think it turned out nice

Thanks, good luck on yours

@@Thekalebandkaiyaseries great job

Glad it was helpful 👍

Cut the extra cord down to the length needed

I'll definitely check those lights out. Thanks 👍

Thanks. No need to worry if the counters were installed properly you're good, that quartz material is very strong

i am, too. im hella scared.

Thanks for watching. The green screw is for the ground. Since I attached the ground to the wires in the ceiling I didn't need to use that screw

@PlatoonGarage I just did what you did In the video and just set up one of my island lights for the first time. It looks good and working. Onto the second light now, the junction box looks different..there's 2 black wires, 2 white wires and 1 ground cable coming from the ceiling. The first one only had 1 of each. I'm stumped again

@@Robert-cn9pe hard to say without looking at it. Was there ever a light hanging there before? Or was it just a rough in? It's possible that the 2 black, 2 white are just the wires passing through from one box to the next, and if that's the case put color to color and it should work

Yes it was a rough in. I did what you said and matched the colors still. It worked! Thanks you 🙏 feeling more confident now

The electrical box that my pendants are mounted to are standard plastic boxes. There are different kinds and depending on what you have installed, they may or may not support heavy weights. The ones I installed are plastic box mounted to a metal rail that mounts between the joists and according to the manufacturer, they can support up to 50 lbs. But I wouldn't put nearly that amount of weight on one of these. My pendants are less than 2 lbs each

@@PlatoonGarage, thanks. I will try installing heavy duty bracket (I guess stand junction box is good in newer homes especially).

@@ElsaAndAnnie There are also options to install blocking between joists and have boxes that are designed to take heavy weight (think ceiling fan). Your electrician might have more details if you ask for them

@@PlatoonGarage Thanks. Materials $500/- installation $600/- if I use an electrician. That’s ridiculous imo.

@@ElsaAndAnnie So $1100 to install 2 pendants? I agree that's pretty expensive

As long as your wife doesn't catch you, 😉

Not sure I understand your question, the pendants get spaced over the island wherever you want them to go

Did you watch the video? I go over the ground wiring very specifically in the video towards the end

I did, but I’m not native and I almost get that.

Ground wire from pendant wiring and the ground that is attached to the pendant base get wire-nutted to the ground in your Romex wiring

@@PlatoonGarage thank you so much!

When I mounted the electrical boxes in the ceiling I measured the width of the island and did some calculations to space them evenly, I can't recall the exact space between, but it's roughly 2 feet apart
