I have watched other channels to do this, and they have confused me!! OMG!! Your channel was the most clearest instruction video! Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I totally understand!
Yours is the best. You're very honest with teaching us how to do the A-Z pot lights wiring - whereby most of the AHMF wannabe electricians hides it from us.
Man, you showed what I couldn't' find in any other video. I'm a beginner and didn't know how all the lights would be connected, but you made it look easy and explained it really well. Subbed!
Thank you for showing the footage in the attic and how to wire the lights from the spool. That's something not shown in other videos that was especially valuable to me.
After watching many videos on installing them, you are the first to explain the entire process from beginning to end. Especially the wiring with the jbox.Thank you!!
I'm a retired carpenter, and now an avid DIYer. I watched many videos on DIY LED ceiling lights the new ones. Yours is the best video out there. Thank you for being concise, but still having the important details. Coincidentally I've installed the exact same lights throughout my home. I hope they hold up. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video.
@@FixThisHouse I agree hole-heartedly. I was an electrician for many years, but I still refer to videos to make sure I know exactly what to expect before a project. Usually, I find myself wincing or cringing at some of the shortcuts or left-out information, however your video was awesomely thorough and you even took safety seriously. A_
Great job! Yours is the only vid. that explained the crucial step: connecting the series of lights to the existing power source. Yours is also the only vid. that demonstrated how to run coax to the next light in the series (I had wondered if the light boxes came with push in “wago-like” connectors to accommodate both incoming and outgoing power). I’ve watched several of your vids. This one earned my subscription.
Out of all the videos i saw on TH-cam for installing the recessed lights, this one is the most detailed oriented. I love how you laid out the plan for figuring out where the joists are, drilling the holes avoiding the joists and properly arranging the wiring over the ceiling with insulation! This is exactly what I was looking for! Great job👍 you earned a new subscriber today!
The cool thing about the newest LED ceiling lights is they are so thin you can install them directly under a joist. As long as the 2 clips can fit somewhere in the hole 180 degrees from each other, it will work. It’s crazy how thin they are.
Holy crap guide this is the most clear understanding video I have ever watched on TH-cam thank you so much I completely understand exactly what to do there was no complications you instructions for dynamite and I really appreciate you thank you
Excellent video. Couple of suggestions. When you connected the wires in the attic and installed them in a PVC box located under the insulation - (1) a connector is required on the bare ground wires (just a couple twists is not sufficient). (2) since the junction box is going to be hidden under insulation, it should be marked above that a junction box is located there for future electrical accessibility. The marking of hidden JBs in the attic can be as simple as spray painting the rafters above it and then leaving a note at the attic entrance next to a spot of spray paint that means a box is located there. I have seen folks install a 1 x 2 vertically at each box location and write on it "Box Below". (3) NEC would require a minimum of 6" free conductor in each JB. Hope this helps.
@@FixThisHouse I would also add that you should have added some kind of bushing or connector on the box where you fed the NMD into the pot light box. Those sharp edges from the punch-out could lead to serious problems down the road.
I'm not even doing this for at least a year or two, but I enjoyed your video because you take time on each step and explain it so fully. Your pacing is also really great. Thanks so much!
EXCELLENT work!!! Never knew how to connect the wires continuously from one light to the other. Thank you! You saved me over 3k for an electrician who quoted me for 4 recessed lights.
Thank you ,...you showed me what goes on in the attic and to see in view where all the wires go ,. I have seen dozens of other videos,.....you finally showed me what I was looking for , the attic part ...thank again 😊
Great video. Did exactly what you showed, 6 pot lights in living room. Worked out great. My attic was a mess to work around in but everything turned out great. Thanks for the detailed step by step 👍👍👍.
I did notice one oversight and that came at approx. the 19:16 mark as you ran wires into the light fixtures J-box. You didn't install cable clamps onto the box. Running cables through a punch out might be dangerous, with respect to the sharp edges. I think cable clamps should be used for safety and probably code.
Lol I wanted to find a video like this from months ago we’re the guy will explain. But no like you do , I like the way you run the cable and. Shows the way to doit and connect. I’m glad I’m subscribed to your Chanel. Thanks for the video .
I love watching your video. You explained very well and I never get bored watching your video. You have go step by step in every video. Don't keep saying you are repetitive. You are doing very well
how does this only have 900 views? this is one of the best videos on youtube for step by step instructions. I was hesitant to do these myself before this video but now I have complete confidence. Thank you!!
You do realize that he didn't install any grommets inside the knockouts for each junction box. That's the best way to nic those wires, cause an arc, and start a fire. There were less severe mistakes like missing a wire nut or crimp sleeve on the ground wires in the attic box, not he explain where the power is coming from and how he did it, if his circuit really is 20 amp, and so on. Either way, this video started out great, but left me disappointed and worried at the end.
I cant thank you enough. I have watched so many videos and no one has shown how to wire to connect the lights to each other. They rush through it and I could not wrap my head around it. Thank you so much!!!
You tubers always omit the details..Especially the wiring part. They show you how to connect the light to the box but dont explain how to connect the lights to other lights. Thanks for taking the titme to explain the process!
Im about to install this same light on the ceiling, I dint want to spend money on the 6 in hole saw, so i just cut it with the jig saw instead. The wiring worry me, im not electrician, but i hope i do well and get this thing done as soon as i can and move on to other thing. Thanks for the video, it help me alot.
First I would like to thank you so much 🙏 for your great recess lights and the wiring which none of other videos show. I greatly appreciate it The only question for you I wish if you could show how did you wire to the switch at the end Please let me know or if you could do another video Look forward to hearing from you 🙏 Thank you again
So glad I found ur channel. Im always doing small upgrades in my home. I paid way too much to have popcorn ceiling removed and a bathroom remodeled. Now its time for me to do some of these projects myself (and save money).

great video.. but u def need a plastic bushing to protect the romex to the sharp edges of the box.... Arlington NM94-25 Black Button Push-In NM Cable Connector, 3/8 Trade Size
Hi, great video and you have so many approval comments. Some people have asked you questions and it would be helpful for those of us who are wondering the same thing if you could respond to the questions. Thank you.
Thank you man!! I just did my living room and followed the concept of your video and it worked and came out great! Even used some of the tools you listed. Great video!
Can you explain where your power source in the attic came from? (Did you feed it from the breaker? Was a being used for a previous fixture?) I'm not sure if you mentioned that and I may have missed it.
I just installed some of these lights in my home and I tapped into the old fixture wiring. Split the existing wire, added some 14-2 romex (to carry power to new lights) and tied it together with some wire nuts.
I came to the comments expecting everyone to ask this. It was the most glossed over detail of the video but the most vital info imo. I’m kind of shocked by how few are asking.
Alright I'm a little slow. These are wired in series correct. So you have a power source that is going into one light but you are bundling that with the next wire to the next to the next correct? Those wago connectors are carrying the load down the line so to speak?
Yes that is correct. The loops that are running through the holes are cut with one end being connected to the light fixture (Wafer Light) using the provided wire nuts in the junction box the other cut end is attached to the same color wire using the same wire nuts in the junction box. So you will have three wires in each wire nut. The factory installed wire coming from the light, the power wire coming from the source and the daisy chain wire that goes to the next light thus creating the daisy chain. He then goes to the next light and does the same thing and that will daisy chain all your lights together creating a complete circuit. The only one that isn't daisy chained is the last light on the circuit as that's where the daisy chain will end so you won't have any wires coming out of that junction box just going in from the second to last light. Just be sure to use cable connectors in those junction box cutouts so the wire going in doesn't get damaged on the sharp edges of where the cutout is on the junction box. That's the only part he left out but he does say earlier in the comments that he went back and added those.
Thank you very much for this video. Everything is extremely well explained. I have question though. I didn't see on your list the main junction box you used in the attic. Could you please let me know where you got it? I can't find the exact thing on Amazon.
Brilliant concise instructions, best I've seen yet. Just one question, does the J Box with each light have to secured or can it just lie on the ceiling. Keep up the good work.
A great video. However, there is a mistake that everyone should be made aware of. Never insert a Romex cable into a box without some type of cable clamp. The boxes for the LED lights are very thin metal and razor sharp. Without a clamp, the edge of the entry hole could cut through the conductors and create a short. There are plastic push in clamps available that are ideal for this application or you can use the classic screw type box clamp.
Roger that re the use of “snap in connectors” for each knock out in the light boxes. You can pick 50 of these up for around $13 (JAN 2025 price). Too risky to skip this step.
I like the video. I only have one concern .it looks like the j box are made out of metal.so when you ran your wine through them you did not install cable connections.
Blown insulation in the attic sucks when installing recessed lights, you have to make sure it's cleared away before you start cutting holes in the ceiling. Another tip is to buy 6" lights instead of 4", they give better coverage and the larger hole allows you to use both hands.
Absolutely outstanding video. Clear, concise and you moved it right along. The list of items needed was also exceptionally helpful and saved me a LOT of research time. Well done and thank you.
This a great DIY for a simple, unrefined option for those that don’t mind the unsightly glare these lights produce. For the well trained eye, these are not the classical, Recessed Lights that a traditional setup will yield. Recessed Lighting should be glare controlled, and the light source should be out of sight when viewed from far away.
@18:11 is that the wire that come from the breaker?. If so, could the light box be a "junction box" if you don't have an external box to join the wires?. I understand that the junction box should be visible but they are not if they are above the ceiling drywall. Great video!.
It has to be accessible. If you have an attic large enough to easily move around in, that typically fits the requirements. Check your local codes though, of course.
The J Box , did you connect the main power source with the new wiring and put that in the box? Also, the main power source was that wiring aleady there or did you install that first? Thanks
Awesome video man. Quick question. I want to do this in my living room. The attic above has a light switch and fixture in it. My question is how do I connect this series of wiring to the power source that is already up there? Or how could i connect that to the switch that is in the living room?
@19:39 I see another set of inputs on the box that were left untouched. Can those entries be used for another write that is not related to this particular circuit?. I need to extend a wire (split wire) and the closest juntion/jbox is that one.
excelled video. thanks for all the details. did you use a dimmer switch? if so what dimmer switch will work with the lights? The Jbox you had there was the one that powered your previous single light?
Hello, first of all thank you for this detailed video, it is really helpful. I have a question, what are those 2 wires you are inserting in the blue junction box on the attic (this is at 18:11 in the video)? Are those from the wire that you are running in all the holes? or are you connecting the one end (left while inserting in first hole) of the wire that you are running to the live wire at the attic which had cap on it to bring the current in this running wire?
Very informative. Thank you. Just one question... Did you do any video on how to connect to the power supply and switch? I am going to do some can lights and don't know how to create a "new circuit" or if I even need one. Maybe I can tie into another lighting circuit that is already there?
Hi, this is your awesome video!!! Man this is exactly i intend to do..in my case it will be my first floor ceiling living room; Question- does this lights have remote switch or do i need to connect to a new light switch?
I have watched other channels to do this, and they have confused me!! OMG!! Your channel was the most clearest instruction video! Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I totally understand!
I’m glad I could be of help! thank you so much for the amazing feedback! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
I totally agreed with you Scott, I have same issue.
How far apart did you put the fixtures? How did you come come up with the spacing?
Why didn’t you install Romeo connectors, why did you install the lights so close to the walls?
cannot agree more!
For someone who's not a licensed electrician, you sure did give more, better details than many of the other videos I have seen.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊 I’m glad I could be of help! Please don’t forget the NM connectors for the Jboxes. I forgot to mention. 🙏🏽

hello, when you got to the last light did you only have one strip instead of the loop ?
Thanks for the great video! Why 12 Wire? 14 should be plenty for a ton of these lights.....but maybe the breaker you have was 20 AMP?
Also whats the spacing recommendation on these? Want to use them in my basement.
Question, why did you need to look for the joist? I assumed with wafer thin profile light the joist does not impact the install? Thanks
This is the best video covering recessed lighting! Thank you so much!

Wow just wow. Hats off my man. I learned so much today. I just earned a new subscriber 😀. Btw when at attic do walk on the sheet rock or on beams ?
when you wired up the blue jay box in the attic, was that with the existing wire from the switch?
I like the video. I only have one concern .it looks like the j box are made out of metal.so when you ran your wine through them you did not install cable connections.
You are absolutely correct, you can buy the cable connections cheaply from your hardware store. Thank you 🙏🏽

It has to be accessible. If you have an attic large enough to easily move around in, that typically fits the requirements. Check your local codes though, of course.
Great video, but you should use a rubber/plastic grommet in the knock out holes so the sharp metal edges don’t cut the wire jacket
I have a pitched ceiling, can I use this type? grateful to your channel 🙏
This will work! But if you have a no attic access or vaulted ceilings you will need to fish the wire. Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽👍🏽

The J Box , did you connect the main power source with the new wiring and put that in the box? Also, the main power source was that wiring aleady there or did you install that first? Thanks
Hi! The box was connected from the switch and main power.
Start to finish unedited. Very nice 🤹
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so very much sharing. How far apart and how far from the wall did you have to install them please?
Excellent. I learned a lot from you, I appreciate your clear explanations through out the whole video. Thank you so much
I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks for the video. My final step would be connect the power wire to the light. Double safety!
Hands down the best video that covers this install process. Thanks!!!
Awesome video man. Quick question. I want to do this in my living room. The attic above has a light switch and fixture in it. My question is how do I connect this series of wiring to the power source that is already up there? Or how could i connect that to the switch that is in the living room?
Very same question i have !!!
Great instructional video. Thanks!
Thank you so much Ross! 👍🏽🙏🏽😊
@19:39 I see another set of inputs on the box that were left untouched. Can those entries be used for another write that is not related to this particular circuit?. I need to extend a wire (split wire) and the closest juntion/jbox is that one.
excelled video. thanks for all the details. did you use a dimmer switch? if so what dimmer switch will work with the lights? The Jbox you had there was the one that powered your previous single light?
Wow, thanks for make such a great video and shopping list, saved lots of money and time. thank you sir!
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
hi one spot light will works if istall alone or i need to install all in series?
Yes most definitely! You can have 1 installed is fine 👍🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse thx bro
This is a great video.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Hello, first of all thank you for this detailed video, it is really helpful. I have a question, what are those 2 wires you are inserting in the blue junction box on the attic (this is at 18:11 in the video)? Are those from the wire that you are running in all the holes? or are you connecting the one end (left while inserting in first hole) of the wire that you are running to the live wire at the attic which had cap on it to bring the current in this running wire?
Very informative. Thank you. Just one question... Did you do any video on how to connect to the power supply and switch? I am going to do some can lights and don't know how to create a "new circuit" or if I even need one. Maybe I can tie into another lighting circuit that is already there?
Thank you 🙏🏽! Please stay tuned this week. I will create a video on how to wire a switch, where you can use with this project 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Hi, this is your awesome video!!! Man this is exactly i intend to do..in my case it will be my first floor ceiling living room; Question- does this lights have remote switch or do i need to connect to a new light switch?
Great video but what do you do when you don’t have the attic?
