Changed my light fixture for the first time based on this tutorial. Thank you for giving me a thorough tutorials and the CONFIDENCE to be able to do this on my own. I'm so proud of myself 😌
Hi, I found your video after trying three times to hang my new light fixture I bought on the marketplace.....you helped me soooooo much. Now I will be able to hang it with no problems. THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!
Yea... don't forget the voltage tester.. if you're home alone and think no one will flip the switch on, check voltage anyway lol..apparently my ceiling fan is tied into my wall outlets ..a little tingle told me so
Yep...spoke to an electrician once and he told me he had turned off all the electricity to the house once but almost received a killer shock from the oven. Apparently the wires from their house and their neighbours were mixed up and noone had ever realised. So yep, be careful!
This video is incredible. He makes all the right comments at all the right moments. I love the helpful on screen arrows and side by side videos like when he turned off the circuit breaker and I visually saw the lamp turn off, I remember things that way! 👏👏 I surely hope you are getting paid to do these because you deserve it! Instant subscriber!
This is good timing. I bought a bunch of new light fixtures and don’t want to wait for my husband to get home from his work trip to install them. Think I can do it??
Nice work man! I was just about ready to throw in the towel with a fixture that I bought on Amazon (as the instructions are not the greatest for this particular fixture), but you demonstrated and talked about a couple things that I had not seen. It really helped me out. PTL!
I wondered that too. I think it’s just twisting the same wires together (black and black, white and white) and forcing the cap over them in a way that won’t immediately fall off. Not an exact science. At least that’s how I did my bathroom light lol and it works.
You have screws coming down from the socket area, mine go up through the base of thr fixture, snd i cannot line it up with the holes ti save my life. Hiw do i deal with this
Of the bare wires come into contact with one another they will cause a short at the circuit breaker. The power likely won’t come back on. That’s what the circuit breakers are designed to deal with.
Today I Changed my first light fixture in my life thanks to your video .
Thanks, your video was easy to follow and helpful. I now feel confident that I can change out my fixture without calling a handyman.
Why would you fast forward during the wire nuts part? Literally the whole reason I need this video lol

Great timing, Nils! I have three light fixtures I want to change out. This helps a lot.

Been there, done that. Always best to be certain. :)
The whole house is going dark 😂. I trust nobody.

can't you just turn off the switch to the entire house and do it? would be easier?
@@Anubis4414 Forreal. Main breaker goes off and the box is getting locked. Idc if its just me and casper. We aint taking no chances 😂
I’m going to try this for the first time! Wish me luck 🤞🏾

Absolutely. You got this!

Can you make a video on how to swag a light/chandelier that is not centered over a table. Will need to be rewired and new chain for enough length.
Would you recommend wrapping the exposed wires with electrical to ensure the wires don’t touch?
@lrn2diy should you?
Super helpful and easy to follow. Thank you!
Great video thank you 🙏
Great quality video!
Wait wait.. Fasten them up? What does that mean? How do you do that Can someone explain that part it wasnt very clear what is happening
Just fold the cheese!
@@Deryan-tv2tt I did, I went to my fridge and got a slice of cheese and proceeded to fold it. My lights still not hooked up

So when you test it with the voltage tester and it does light up ,what do you do?
Turn off everything in the circuit breaker. Chances are it was wired to a different circuit
This video was perfect. Thank you!
Thank you! will try it today!
How was the load bearing cable released? Looking at 0:45-1:05
You forgot to mention there might be a second live wire! Red!!
You have screws coming down from the socket area, mine go up through the base of thr fixture, snd i cannot line it up with the holes ti save my life.
Hiw do i deal with this
Mine has multiple sets of black and white wires and I'm confused
Same. I just did mine only 3 wires . The ground. White is your neutral . black is your hot wire .
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
What are the yellow and red wires?
❤love this video lol
What will happen if displaced wires touch in the housing?
Of the bare wires come into contact with one another they will cause a short at the circuit breaker. The power likely won’t come back on. That’s what the circuit breakers are designed to deal with.
testing after man handling the wires is crazy lol
I thought that you had to wrap the ground around the ground screw, no?
No. Use his table and you'll be fine.
I honestly didn’t see a black line.. did you?
It's on the far left.
It's mostly covered with white (probably joint compound), but there's some of the black showing.
