Posted nine years ago but still the best installation instruction on YT for a ceiling fixture. Thank you!
BLiPPi
This helped me fix my Elgato wifi light. Thanks
This video is so old that the 'old looking' light i'm removing looks like the new one you are adding here! Regardless it really helped me. Thanks alot for this 9 years later still helping people.
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!
You're so welcome!
My mom and I just changed out our light fixture in our office. This is a great guide. I was really uncomfortable with the idea of us doing it ourselves until this video. Thank you for what you do.
Me and electricity have never gotten along. Thanks to this video i grew a pair and installed 3 new light fixtures... thanks alot for the video!!!!!!!!
I don't ever want to grow anything but wiser... I'm a 'she'
Nice, u gave motivation
@@ttnnaples8060 lol growing and changing as the lord shapes us right?
I hear u David
I guess I will grow a pair... I get tired of waiting for help to get home improvements done.
Thanks for helping nogla with his light
This is the most Canadian DIY video I have seen in a long time! Thanks for your tips and kindness through the video! ❤😊
Thanks! Less than an hour after watching, I installed the new light I've had sitting on a shelf for over a year.
Perfect. Thank you for giving me the courage to change my old ceiling fixture (after it sat for weeks untouched).
Omg thank you I have the one that my house came with and I hate makes too much noise
I'm in the same boat right now
Same! That's why I'm here!
Haha same had to to watch 3 times over 3 months. Today's the day
Same here
Just changed my first light fixture for the first time ever by myself! Thanks for the video!! Was super helpful!
Thanks dude. You're the best tutorial on TH-cam for this. Congrats on being the GOAT 🐐
Thank you for the good camera quality, it makes it much easier to see the details of what you’re doing!
“The reason you don’t find ground wires in old houses is because they didn’t use them” classic
"This is an Aspen, You can tell it's an Aspen just by the way it is" - probably this guy's son 😂
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.
I just changed 8 lights in my house last weekend, it's a real shoulder workout to hold those in place while connecting the wires!
Thank you so much. I’m single and I’m doing all my home improvements myself. I’ve been burned by contractors, so I just go to TH-cam university and learn to do it myself
Can relate ...me too
Me too!!
I have looked at a number of videos on the site and have found them all useful and instructive. I just completed a light installation after watching this video and it worked fine, thanks.
This is the best one I found too.
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!
Just what I was looking for on how to tie in both ground wires from box and light fixture. All other videos I’ve looked at never explained how to connect them. Great video. Thank you
TY! We did the job by ourselves and your instructions were of immense help and piece of mind!
Nothing in my house works as it should. These videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the video and your thick Canadian prairie accent is making me homesick!
Thanx...you showed how the springy snap globe holder works...to replace burned out lamps (and dead flies and moths)...and you saved me from calling the apartment supervisor for such a simple task.
I'm planning to replace an old ceiling light and this video is making me feel more confident about being able to do it myself. Thank you!!
Thanks for the demo. It's exactly what I searched for help with the fixtures that I'm replacing.
Thank you! I just changed my light fixtures for the first time ever, all thanks to this video!
I have not done this in years, but this video...helped a lot..most of these vids are seemingly for show and move too quickly...this one was very detailed.
I love the way how you explain the steps. Thanks man
I love doing this kind of stuff, since I didn't have any real job experience with this just doing this at home. after 6 years I think I'm finally going to get a chance to do this kind of work for a facility.
Watching this video alleviates my concern about doing this myself, or having a friend do it. It's a lot simpler than I expected. Always gotta be careful where electricity is involved!
Yes, be careful please
HouseImprovements why,
You saved my life! I'm renting and I just need to change the bulbs. I didn't realize one of the clips was spring loaded. 😆
As always Shannon, you are the greatest of all time!
Thank you for this video! I'm going to Home Depot straight after work to buy new fixtures and install them.
I just finished. Great video. Thank for having a camera man. Nice zoom everything👍
Thanks so much for this video. I never installed an light fixtures. I bought a house and got a new fixture for my office. This video will be very helpful.
You're welcome!
You always do a great job with everything you show us, thank you.
Great job! Clear, easy to understand, and to the point.
Thanks for a great video!
I'm attempting to change out 2 ceiling lights.
This video was very helpful!
You were not in a rush and took time to explain things well.
Thank you 😊
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! I just installed a pot rack with light fixture thanks to your video 😄
These old light fixtures are such a pain in the ass sometimes this videos great
I’m feeling brave now. Going to try to do this myself. Thanks!
Very helpful... this new house I just move in. Have a bunch off different light fixtures throughout the house. Now I can match them
Very informative, thank you! You did a great job narrating your actions, giving instruction and whoever operated the camera did a superb job as well. Again, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much!! I'm about to change the lights to my mom's house. Thank you again for this straight forward explanation.
Excellent camera shots, close ups and explanations on an actually situation. Thanks for the input.
Perfect for my situation even though the video's 8 years old. Thanks OP wherever you are now. 👊
still here and posting new content .
@@HouseImprovements Subscribed !!👊
Thanks for the advice. Cheers from Ontario! 🇨🇦
Simple and confidence inspiring. I can do this! Thank you for your straightforward and helpful instruction.
Best video I've seen on the subject but I wish you showed how to install a ground wire
Nice job! Short and sweet and to the point! Thank you!
Simple and straight to the point. Thanks man great video !!
really good, nice and simple description. Thank you!
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!
Thank you so much. Your videos are great. I’ll be installing our new lighting myself.
Hey Shannon! Really loving your videos. Because of you i've been able to have the confidence to work on electrical work in my home. Before i do something, I always see if you have it covered first
Very helpful video - thank you for creating it. This is something I need to do and this explanation of the entire process is excellent.
Thanks for explaining simple things, like the ground wire connection, that most people breeze through.
Thank you very much . I just got the ceiling fixture and waiting for a
bright day to install it. Your explanation is wonderful.
Glad it was helpful!
@@HouseImprovements
An update. I did it. Some technical issues with mounting bracket but I did it. Not easy for 70 years old woman . Thank you very much for your very helpful video.
Nice video, I'm gonna be using these babies going forward, thanks!
Appreciate the help with the updated type of ceiling fixture!
This was good. The exact fixture we have, only the guy who installed ours did a shoddy job without that center bolt! Will go buy one and do it right.
What fixture is it? I want one
Thanks for explaining this project so clearly.
Thanks i needed the help for this. Was busting my head trying to figure this out last night
Right down to business with steps, my kinda tutorial video!

Would be very helpful to show how and where you added the ground wire as I don’t have the knowledge. Thank you
Thank you, your video helped me to replace my old light fixture.
Thank you for the video! I wasn’t sure about the ground wire part so that was very helpful

Haha, yup, should have ironed it .
Excellent video man. Doing this tmrw!

Very helpful, thank you. Off to find whatever video you did on replacing outlets as well, plugs basically fall out of some if you look at them wrong..
Opening up that fresh box like you did your button up shirt- lol! We peep the crisp folds
