Im only half way through 5:34 and this is the best out of 8 videos i had had to watch, it was worth it to get to this one. cant wait until the next video.
I'm glad you liked the video! And I hope your project goes well. The only thing I didnt show in the video was splicing into an existing wire. But I've got another video that goes over that if your interested in seeing it. Just go to my channel and look for the ceiling fan installation video.
Your lights are wired in parallel. If they were wired in series, they wouldn’t work properly. You have them daisy-chained together. Loads are almost always wired in parallel to keep the voltage the same across the loads.
You certainly can do that, it would definitely look better than leaving a gap. But keep in mind if you ever need to work on the light for what ever reason it will make it that much harder to take out. With that being said, it's really up to you which works best on your situation.
I am not clear where I am hooking into power there is no attic light and the closest outlet is in the garage . I want lights around the entire perimeter of the home. Guess a drawing is what I need.
I did have to drill through the wooden soffit actually, there wasn't enough clearance for the lights to swivel to the position I wanted them. If you have more clearance then you could get away with just drilling a hole big enough for the wire.

Nice - I've been wanting to install soffit lights around the perimeter of the house - you make it look easy!

Romex connectors are the plastic clamps. Great video!
Thanks! I always forget the names of those lol. I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for the comment!
Hiya I don’t have any room for a recess for my soffit lights is there any alternatives
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Do you caulk the holes left behind from an unlevel mounting surface?
You certainly can do that, it would definitely look better than leaving a gap. But keep in mind if you ever need to work on the light for what ever reason it will make it that much harder to take out. With that being said, it's really up to you which works best on your situation.
Any idea of what is used for the Gable Peak lights? I see them on a lot of houses and they look like spot lights pointing down from each peak.
I apologize for the delay in response, But I personally haven't looked into the gable peak lighting so unfortunately cant help you there.
Was that vinyl soffit or aluminum just wanted to know if the vinyl supported the light.
Its vinyl, and its holding up just fine
what distance from the wall do you install soffit lights?
Honestly I feel like that's up to personal preference, I like to go right in the middle of the soffit.
Could you daisy-chain existing recessed lights from a garage to your soffit light, or is it best to just create a new switch?
I'm dont see why you couldn't, but I'm not a licensed electrician so I can't say for certain that it would be up to code.
How do you protect or mount the wires between each light in the soffit? Are they just loose up there?
Sounds like tom hanks
Ill take that as a compliment lol
😀

there called grommets
dont think you need to drill right through the wood part above soffits that big!! leaves nice rat mice and squirrel entry points

And that’s all I have to say about that 🤣🤣🤣
