    I can’t believe it took me 3 years to find this video. I had CFL fixtures I’ve been needing to replace for years. This video was the perfect amount of detail I needed to do this replacement myself. I told my wife I was so close to hiring a handyman to do this for me since I don’t like to mess with electrical, especially in the ceiling. Thank you so much for posting this!!

    How about the light bulb? Is it built into the housing? Because I didn’t see him screwing it on.

    Great video. I did my first one today and I followed your steps exactly. It worked like a charm and was pretty easy to do. I've got others in my house to do now. Thanks for showing me the way.

    but you did not disconnect the power from the ballast that you eliminated, therefore there is voltage at the output and you only put them in the box without isolating them

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 6 месяцев назад

      there’s absolutely no power in the ballast if you follow my instructions

      @@charlietv625First of all thank you for the video. I just finished up doing it thanks to you. But, I think he’s right. There’s still power going to the ballast. I found out with a little “shock” from the blue and red wires remaining from the ballast. It’s because you didn’t disconnect the white/black wires from the ballast. Unless I’m missing something, I’m pretty sure I followed your instructions perfectly. Just a heads up for those who do it and see this in the future.

    Sir, in most videos I see, they only use one red and one blue wire, but you are joining the two blues together and the two reds together. Can you explain why? Thx

    Good video that will live on for many years. I do suggest removing the ballast wires from the junction box, never good to have bare ends floating around in there. Also consider removing one of the blue and red wires as unnecessary. Again, excellent tutorial.

    Very clear but why did you connect 2 blue with white and 2 red with black. Why not just 1 blue and 1 red. What’s the extra wires doing ?

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 Год назад

      just making it heavier gauge by combining the thinner wires together, it’s not necessary, only optional

    • @ltai0001
      @ltai0001 Год назад

      I believe they are 18 AWG. In my case they are. Are they potentially a fire hazard when not doubled like the way you did?

      Hi, I got this bluetooth speaker flashlight combo about 6 years s ago, i don’t know if it still exists but i’m sure you can find something similar, this one is a InnoCreek 3-in-1 Multifunctional Waterproof Outdoor Wireless bluetooth flashlight speaker combo, it was about $20, I hope this helps

  • @brioshah-ty2sl
    @brioshah-ty2sl Год назад

    Instead of opening any cutting all the wires, why can't connect your LED lights white wire to 2 CFL blue wires and LED lights Black wire to 2 CFL red wires? Please advice.

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 Год назад

      because the ballast will not allow the correct amount of power to go to the led light, the ballast is put there specifically for the cfl lights

      @@charlietv625 Thanks! I also tried with I said above (2 blue wires to LED's white wire and 2 red wires to LED's black wire) and you are correct, power was not enough and light blinked for a second and then went off. Thanks for posting this video and explaining all the steps in details. I successfully changed all my CFL lights to LED now and long due project is completed! Thanks once again!

    You dont have to turn the breaker off?

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 Год назад

      I don't, but if you feel safer doing so then please do it, the light switch acts like a breaker, it cuts off power when you switch it off, that's how your lights go on and off, but if you have children running around and you're afraid that they might accidently switch the light on while you're doing this procedure then you should definitely turn the breaker off

    Thanks so much. I just did three successful conversions. I really appreciate your self effacing humor about leaving your light in the ceiling. Being a DIY we all screw up and in retrospect it's often funny. And in being persistent we end up succeeding.

    Yes hello : yes, well, by changing your ceiling lights, there is a chandelier next to it with three cups ? When do you turn on the light ? I would like to know if the chandelier also turns on at the same time with your LED ceiling lights and when you turn off your ceiling lights does the chandelier also turn off ? I would like to know if the chandelier also goes out at the same time as the new ceiling lights please thank you. So, well would it be nice to re-shoot the video to show it to me please ? Thanks.

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 2 года назад

      the chandelier is on a different light switch, it’s completely independent of the recessed LED lights

      @guiluka 2 года назад

      Hello, well okay. The candlesticks walk apart??? And then I would like to know why do you change the old ceiling lights recessed by LEDs??? And then the ceiling lamps compact fluorescent bulbs and the compact fluorescent bulbs are we still making them??? See you soon.
