In this video I replace an old fluorescent T12 light with new LED fixture from Hampton Bay. I purchased this light from our local Home Depot. The old fixture had a difficult time starting up in the mornings and was especially bad in the winter. With the cold months on the way it was a great motivator to replace this fixture.

Six years later and this is still one of the few videos that shows the removal of those ugly fluorescent lights. Thanks!
Agreed! Watching in 2024.
Being that this video is almost four years old and I'm the late comer I'll give my two cents on the video in hopes that it helps someone else. First off this was a great video for A) those who understand how to work with electric and B) those who are looking to do this, maybe for a new style and/or may have purchased this particular product.
Now what you see is obviously someone who has experience working with electricity and the video is edited. So for that the disclaimer is to make sure the power is off, wear rubber gloves, eye protection, and rubber sole shoes. Can't express those four hard enough. Although many electricians work with power on, (Watch Master Electricians connect your house to the power line), it's in your best interest to turn the power off.
Lastly appreciate someone taking the time to show you something that you don't know because if you did you would not have watched it. If that is the case before you attempt to deal with electricity get an understanding of how it works so you'll feel confident when dealing with it. Hope it helps someone.
I took down a 4-foot fluorescent and replaced it with a similar fixture with LED tubes, light is directed straight down leaving the corners a little dim. I saw the comments about your stove and sink could use more light. I plan to move the lights around and add additional fixtures for better coverage. Just remember the beam on LED is more direct over a traditional bulbs.
It would be nice to see it lit up .... after all it's a video on installing a light
Wow what a nice improvement, you did a great job
Thanks for watching!
You may want to turn off the power to a room before you go touching live wires : /
Thanks for watching!
You may want to get a better understand electrical circuits before commenting.
Right? Do that during the day time and let in sunlight, Sheesh!!
@@AB-sr6ncCreator may have an excellent understanding, but if you’re putting a tutorial on TH-cam chances are your viewers do not. Turning off the power or at least adding a safety note for viewers is a reasonable expectation.
I recently did something similar - although my LED light was a batten. It gave off a very nice light (4000k) but the disappointment, was that most of the light goes straight downward... A fluorescent sends light in all directions, so lights up the ceiling and the walls. But the LED batten meant that in my rather square kitchen, the floor in the middle of the room was brightly lit, but the work surfaces were not very well lit at all! I've sence returned the batten light and have gone with LED spotlights.
I love that kitchen light
I had a fluorescent fixture that did not work. I just replaced the ballast for $25 and it works like new. Eventually will be replacing with an LED fixture though.
Not enough narrative and you didn't show the actual wiring. Less helpful than I expected.
Wiring a ceiling light is pretty self explanatory. Black to black, white to white. Words can hurt, Tom... Words can hurt!
Tanner Tipping words can hurt...? Tom didn't say anything hurtful. And as far as an instructional video, it should include anything necessary. So, in this case, a few more words can't hurt, ya know.
I think of it was supposed to be more and a demo video... that's just me though.
@@Domino44Gs doesn't say anywhere that it's instructional. He's just swapping a light.
Words won't hurt as much as electrical shock will.
great job and very entertaining. wish I could have seen it lit for more that 1/2 second before the ta da.
I have the same old lighting in the box and thinking of replacing it with track or recessed lighting.
On saving money and not hiring an electrician, I am handy enough to do track lighting in the box myself.
What do you guys recommend?
To me electrical isn't that hard. Just takes some patience and a few extra safety measure like ensuring there is no live power.
thanks for sharing this. I am guessing you screwed right into the drywall? surprised it's strong enough to support a big light.
This light is surprisingly lightweight. Also our house is 75 years old and is mostly comprised of lath and plaster. The lath is stronger than drywall and is what the majority of the screws are attached to it. I also used the plastic inserts which are intended for drywall application.
Thank you for your help
Is this new LED fixture can be use like camera to control inside your kitchen by The appartment honor?Please let me know?
Cool hair. I feel like I'm looking at me. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching!
Local hardware store almost had a broken/damaged Hampton Bay ceiling light returned to them, I didn't do it! LOL
I know this is pretty old, but do you feel like the light you put up is enough light for the area?
It is significantly brighter in the kitchen. If I were to guess I would say 2x as bright as it was previously. My wife is content but personally I’d still like to add extra light over the stove and sink.
Thanks. This is just what I'm looking for
3 minutes plus in and you haven’t warned us to kill power to the fitting!
good work
Thanks!
Did I miss the wiring or did you not show it? Was it as simple as black to black, white to white? Was there a green wire match too?
5:30 strip wires, 5:39 connecting wires. Yes, black to black and white to white. Home was built in 1940s and therefore doesn't have a ground wire through ought. Most outlets are only 2 prong. Thanks for watching 4score1957.
Who cares about the light installation? This guy teleports at 3:28.
Haha!
Would have been nice if you had explained what your were doing, ...like the 4 drill holes in the ceiling..
What did you do with purple and grey?
Technologic I just left them be. I don't have a dimmer switch nor wires from the switch to the fixture. Just left the pigtail the way they came. They are optional anyways.
Purple and grey are for dimmers
I just bought this light at home depot. How is it holding up?
Check out my more recent LED driver replacement video.
I would have liked to see you connect the wiring.
You have to be a licensed electrician to see the wiring connection.
Good morning or good evening. Yes, why are you changing your ceiling light from fluorescent tubes? And you put in another new, oval ceiling light? Where are you going to put the old fluorescent tube ceiling light? Finally the ruler?
I just need to know how to do the actual wiring.
ulisses1833 black to black. White to white. And green wire screwed to the green screw in the mounting box.
i held my breath after you almost dropped it, lol
Did you throw the old one away
I installed the old fluorescent in my garage.
How'd they turned out?
Junk! Check out my LED Driver Replacement video. I’ve installed several of these China LED lights and they have all had issues down the road. Not sure if there is a good LED option.
Yea but what happened to the first guy from the beginning of the video? Where did he go?
How come there isn't a video to replace the led lights is a question
Purple and grey are actually for special dimming systems meant for LED fixtures.
Whats the cost of this light? thanks
Cost is currently about $150. There is an Amazon link in the description. This is also available locally at Home Depot.
How do you replace the LED lights
You don’t.
Wish you would of shown how it lights up a room. Why would you not show a "light" NOT lit up?
You didn’t show the connecting of the wires.
3:27 Got me confused for a moment
Missed the finish?
dude wtf you spent the whole video installing and only get 1 second to look at it light up.
purple gray are for dimming I thought everyone knew this
David Alexander except for him
I did not know this. I'm a novice.
I guarantee she was standing at the light switch for the last thirty seconds.
I would of liked to see the lighting it gives off but you shut off too quick
My apologies. It was definitely much brighter than the florescent. We had a small kitchen and it was on the edge of being too bright for the space. Although corners such as the sink and stove could have benefitted from done additional light, this installation certainly helped.
The most important part is the wiring. Wish I had read the comments BEFORE I watched this.
Sorry to disappoint. I do have a newer video showing the driver repair which shows the wiring prices better.
it would be great if you could talk us through what you are doing. it's hard to see. your video is dark.
Thanks for your input. This is an older video and I'll admit my filming has improved. I'll have to plan a new light fixture install for a future video.
You skipped the main part
What's that? The wiring? I have a newer LED light video which should be better and show more. You decide.
I wanted to see the light when you turned it on you got to much stuff blocking the light really
Watch our "Hampton Bay LED Driver Replacement" video.
I do not use LED in my house, that driver is not durable.
All that and no light before after gezze.
Sorry this is an older video from when I was a newbie at filming. I have a newer video with a nearly identical light fixture.
I am really not sure why you made this. A lot of dead air. If you do not feel like talking, you can put text up on the screen. Not very helpful at all.
This fixture is garbage! It went out on me and won't turn back on, after 1.5 years of normal use. It also looks like thousands of people are running into the same problem. This fixture states that is good for over 50,000 hours of use, That's BS.
Check out my LED Driver Replacement video. You can call Home Depot’s warranty they should warranty it. In my case I didn’t have a receipt on record (paid cash) but they gave me the driver for free.
Hi,
Can you send me a link. I'm having trouble finding the driver Replacement video.
Thanks

worthless!
I’m surprised to hear that. If your looking for a more in depth how to for install check out our more recent video with a similar light. I also have a few videos on the LED driver that failed and was replaced.
