Great video. Can you link to part 2? I can't find it. Don't need an install from scratch, so want to understand how to install following the can removal.
2:34 a recommendation is that you checks something alive before check something dead. And if you are really careful check something alive again. This verifies that it is working.
You can take off the can housing from inside the can, there’s 5/8 screws holding the can to the mount, they are designed so you don’t have to caut ceilings open to access the connections
I want to install pot lights in my kitchen , I have the can and light bulb screw in there. Is it ok to keep the can there and install the pack lights inside the can, So no need to go in attic ?
@@FixThisHouse Okay so here's the story I currently have I believe Can Lights (the lights that screw in and get tucked in the can) and I want to change them all to some Peteme brand LED Recessed lighting that change color. And I'm worried I don't want to screw anything up cause I can't afford to replace one and can't afford an electrician
@@FixThisHouse Hi this is great information. I would love to get your input and more detail video on replacing such can light with ultra thin recessed lighting. Removing can is bit of extra work for non-professionals so I am inclined to just use retrofit recessed light. What would you recommend? any pros and cons between those two options?
What if you have these and have a cathedral ceiling? I’m wanting to change mine to canless leds, and not use the kind that screw in where the bulb was because none of those look like the rest in my house and cheap
@@Mark-bh8zonot really. Looks like I’m going to be cutting the Sheetrock around them and removing my old cans and then I’m going with the halo kind that are adjustable up to a 12/12. My living room ceiling is a 10/12, the lights from one side light up the other if that makes sense, and that’s why I’m going with the adjustable. Check them out. They’re super nice
I need you help bro, I have halow light in my kitchen which I was able to remove but I cant able to remove the round assembly of can light. On the other hand when I tried to go in attic it's almost impossible to reach there. The frame is actually going through bottom of one of the stud
It's safer (and I think required by code) to put the terminated cables in a junction box that is mounted somewhere in the attic. It's dangerous to leave those wires terminated with just a wire nut. Someone could walk by and step on that wire and the wire nut comes off, and now it's an exposed wire that could be hot and electrocute someone. Especially with insulation, you could end up with those wires buried in insulation and a person up there wouldn't even see the wires.
Awesome that you went full beast mode on the second can light!
Thank yu, I have been searching for just how to disconnect the covering so I kan reuse the light fixture. Thank yu again.
Great video! I'm going to check out the pot lights video now, Thanks!
❤ the safety! I’ve seen the repercussions for such a mistake!
No access above...now what. What you did was EASY and common sense.
Thanks alot🎉

Hi! I can make a part 2 on how to install can lighting if you wish? 🙏🏽👍🏽😊
@@FixThisHouseThis video’s title includes “Part 1”, suggesting that a Part 2 exists or will be made.

Can we get a link to part two?
Thank you for this. I just did it for my outside patio. I wasn’t as lucky. I had to take off the porch ceiling to remove the box.
Thank you! Glad I could help! 🙏🏽👍🏽😊

@@JeffPenaify awesome! I was afraid that I was going to have to tear up my ceiling in order to convert my pot lights!

Can u cap one off and leave one out of the circuit?
Dude where's part 2 I've been looking for it this whole time
Hi! Do you need can lights replacement or pot lights?

Did you find a solution? I'm in the same boat as you.

I need to remove can but have no attic. How do I get the can out?
Me toooo, how to do that if I don't have attic access?
Make a hole I guess
There are screws inside the can. If you remove it, it will slip out
Were you can lights connected to 20amp circuit? You were using 12/2 romex that's why I thought maybe your connected to 20amp.
nice bro!!
Considering it’s it 10000 degrees in attic for 365 days a year, I’m never gonna change my lights
I'm doing same thing. I want to upgrade my old cans with pod lights and add more pod lights
What if bo attic access ? How do u remove can ?
Wondering the same thing
Unfortunately, I have 16 inches of fresh blown-in insulation in the attic. Can't see anything, including where to place my feet.😢

I don't know code, but do agree 100% on the safety aspect...
He said he was gonna use the wires soon to install new lights but if you’re not using it then put it in a jbox. He literally said that
Oh brother - what if you dont have access to?
Shit I was hoping not to get up in Attic above my kitchen it’s about a 16 ft drop😰
Bro what’s up with the million commercials
I didn’t see one, but I have premium
