I’m surprised how many people are seeing one of these for the first time. These things are terrific. I’ve done about a dozen of these over the course of my career. Glad you guys liked the video.
First time I have ever seen or heard of a light lift. A very convenient way of changing light bulbs and cleaning the luminaire, or replacing it altogether. Very cool. Thanks for sharing, Ron.
They use these a lot in churches, auditoriums, schools, and in some old movie theaters. In the earlier days they used handcranked lifts that worked similar to a come along. When the fixture had to be relamped or cleaned, you would have to unhook or unplug the fixture and then crank it down and back up by hand.
Thanks Ron! I’m an electrician in the philadelphia area and just came across this today. I have to fix one that someone installed incorrectly. The whole thing was on one switch leg and they ran the hots to one switch and neutrals to the other switch and just twisted all remaining wires together! Being unfamiliar with the device I wasn’t fully equipped to explain how it should be, only how it shouldn’t lol. This video has helped tremendously.
Good I’m glad it had helped. One circuit for the motor lift and a switched leg for the light fixture. Make sure the light switch is off before lowering or raising the light fixture.
Off topic but next time you clean out your van do a rundown of what ya got! Tell us what you like and don’t like about your van and the stuff you keep on it. Some of us need ideas haha. Thank you for the vids though awesome content!!
this is a very interesting material. i have only once seen such a device in a palace in san francisco. the fixture was some 200 years old and weighd 300 lbs of bronze. thanks for the video.
Hi - very nice video!...what is the name of the round plate (& its corresponding round plate in the attaic) that when they make contact with each other it completse circuit & light comes on/off? I need to purchase one...thx
Hello Ron Do you know if there is any way to make aladdin light lift work with 3 way switch? I been searching with no luck. And that's how I got to your video, thanks
This is excellent video.Thank for posting. I was wondering if you have installed any flush mount chandelier with Aladdin lifts or do you have thoughts about the flush mounts and lifts?
how are you ron i was watching your video my question is how long does it take you to hang that light and how much is charged for that type of work thank you and good night
Well, first off... an arc fault circuit breaker detects arc faults. An arc can be caused by a loose terminal electrical connection or a defective appliance. It would be best to call a licensed electrician to find the issue.

I've done some old mansions that pretty much had a hand crank
@@scottniswonger7804 that’d make an interesting video!
I had no idea this light lift thing existed 🤣
Definitely a luxury item.
@@electricianron_New_Jersey How much did the total job run?

I think you're the first to use the term "luminaire" on this channel. You MUST be an electrician too.
They use these a lot in churches, auditoriums, schools, and in some old movie theaters. In the earlier days they used handcranked lifts that worked similar to a come along. When the fixture had to be relamped or cleaned, you would have to unhook or unplug the fixture and then crank it down and back up by hand.
First time for me. I often wondered how you change the bulbs. I am learning a lot. Thanks Ron

Sweet! Gotta be rough doing this by yourself! 👍👍
You got that right!
Thank you for this! I had no idea such a thing exists but I'll tuck that in a grey cell for the future.

One day soon it's coming.
this is a very interesting material. i have only once seen such a device in a palace in san francisco.
the fixture was some 200 years old and weighd 300 lbs of bronze.
thanks for the video.
I believe this Light lift had a capacity of 200 lbs but they make them and are available with 700 lbs capacity.
Wow! Great job! Thank God you had that window shelf to rest of the chandelier on! You have made it so easy for the homeowner to clean & care for!
I do my best mom!
Gezzz quite the job. Damn. Good job now.💪
Ron, great work! Always wanted to see the process.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super enjoyable to watch your videos! Nice to see a US version of all the UK electrician videos that are available on TH-cam.
Keep ‘em coming!
Glad you like them!
You’re the man RON!
Thank you Mr Monsoon!
Bravo, excellent work. I'd be pretty nervous balancing on that ladder while messing with that light!
Thanks Aaron!
Great job.Never saw one before.
It's incredible isn't it?
Nice job Ron!
Thank you!
You do great work and put great care into what you do. Love the content!
Thank you very much!
Great job quick
Nice work Ron! Great video, very informative.
The light lift is quite unique!
Do you have one showing the pulleys I'm going to have to use probably five or six
Hi - very nice video!...what is the name of the round plate (& its corresponding round plate in the attaic) that when they make contact with each other it completse circuit & light comes on/off? I need to purchase one...thx
Nice work Ron!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks. I have never encountered that kind of device before!
Thanks now I’ve got to add one more thing to my want list right after my private jet and executive private helicopter . :)
You and me both!
I just picked up a Wera torque screwdriver to tighten all the panel terminals to proper manufacture torque specs.
I should have one but $60 for a screwdriver?
I have the same unit you removed. Tonight the limit
Switch went and it punched a hole through the dry wall.
The company is out of business and apparently left a lot of angry customers.
Hello Ron
Do you know if there is any way to make aladdin light lift work with 3 way switch? I been searching with no luck. And that's how I got to your video, thanks
The homeowner should have considered one of those lightweight LED fixtures that are thin and modern.
This was an existing chandelier.
This is excellent video.Thank for posting. I was wondering if you have installed any flush mount chandelier with Aladdin lifts or do you have thoughts about the flush mounts and lifts?
This light lift does light fixtures so I'm unsure what your question is.
how are you ron i was watching your video my question is how long does it take you to hang that light and how much is charged for that type of work thank you and good night
This was a replacement so it’s a bit different from a new install. All new wiring, the lift, and complete installation runs approximately $3200.
How to know if one has a arc fault? Also, how would you fix it?
I know someone with one and it not working now.
Well, first off... an arc fault circuit breaker detects arc faults. An arc can be caused by a loose terminal electrical connection or a defective appliance. It would be best to call a licensed electrician to find the issue.
Hey Ron, do you install in Staten Island?
I’m not licensed in New York.
That's a newer home, its surprising to see how terrible the insulation job is
The nipple on my lift is 3/8 I can’t fit a normal chandelier any help
This is not an issue. Call a licensed electrician.
Seriously do you need a apprentice?
I do my best work on my own.
Soooooo loud I just bought one now in thinking no
I'm back after being released from the wrongthink EV comment prison.
