    Thank goodness! Thank you so much! Someone FINALLY showed me how to remove that pesky light fixture! Do you know How Many tutorials I had to watch to find you??? A Lot. And Not One if them actually showed me how to remove the light fixture... which is where I was stuck. Just three little screws (or four in my case). Who knew? You are the best! Thank you so much, and I will look for you first from now on 😁.

    and thats providing the fan can actually be upgraded.... the new units come with the light attached already! so, if you don't like it, you have to change out the whole fan! oh, and I would have taken the wires from the OLD light kit and spliced them onto the new kit... that way, the plug-in feature would still be available.

    Thanks for the video! I want to change my light fixture in my ceiling fan, it's lovely but I don't use all 3 bulbs. It's just aesthetically pleasing if I just change the 3 bulbs to a globe.

    • @ryanravencaller
      @ryanravencaller 4 года назад

      Honestly the globe can provide just as much light, where as the 3 or 4 bulb kits work best with at least 2 or 3 bulbs so you dont have dark corners, way cheaper to go the globe route anyways and cheaper on lightbulbs especially if you're upgrading to the smart wifi lightbulbs to use with Alexa, google home or apple homepod, you only need to buy one of those expensive bulbs for a fan with a globe!

    Do you think taping the wire cap onto the wires with electric tape would reduce the risk of arcing?

    • @WAEMIDIV
      @WAEMIDIV  3 года назад +1

      Yes, many electricians do this as an extra precaution and safety measure.
      Taping the cap on not only prevents arching to other wires/ a ground, it also keeps water out of it in the event the fixture becomes victim of water damage.

  • @Gymby
    @Gymby 3 года назад +2

    turning off the breaker/junction box helps if you're installing a ceiling fan. if you don't turn off junction box, electric shock.

    Hi. I have a question. Can the light fixture kit from a ceiling fan work alone if the ceiling fan is removed?

    • @WAEMIDIV
      @WAEMIDIV  3 года назад

      Not usually, no. Although the wiring would certainly function, ceiling fan lights often have unique mounting hardware that only allows them to be mounted to ceiling fans, so if you could find some way to mount it, then yes! But it won't be easy.

      @@HHH_3 Well anything is possible with enough work. I don't really know what your goal is, but if you're not afraid to poke around and experiment with it then go ahead and try.
      I don't know what brand or type of fixture you're working with, I don't even know what country you're in, so with no context I can't help with much. But good luck!

    • @WAEMIDIV
      @WAEMIDIV  3 года назад +2

      Light kits are pretty universal unless they're specifically labeled for a certain brand. For example a universal kit probably won't work on a Hunter fan, and a Hunter light kit might not work on a Hampton Bay fan. Universal ones will more than likely adapt to common brands like Patriot lighting, Casablanca, Harbor Breeze, etc
