Install of LED Ceiling Mount Light
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 мар 2017
- Removed old fixture and installed a new LED ceiling mount light.
1.First, find and turn off the breaker that supplies power to the light.
2.Verify the new fixture has all its parts before taking the old down.
3.Remove the old fixture, make a note of how the wires were connected to it before you disconnect them. This will help you connect the new fixture correctly, and worst case, allow you to put the old fixture back in service if needed, maybe new one didn't have all the parts(step 2) or something like that.
4. Temporarily connect the frame that comes with the new LED fixture to the junction box and mark locations in ceiling where anchors need to go. Then remove frame and install the anchors on your marks.
5. Attach frame loosely to junction box, get screws that attach frame to anchors started. Slowly tighten everything up until frame is secured to j-box and ceiling.
6. Reconnect wires to the new LED and carefully tuck them into the j-box. Then carefully push the LED part of the fixture into frame and give it a slight turn and it will lock into place.
7. Turn on the breaker, flip the switch and check out your new LED fixture.

My favorite fixture on RUclips. Simple and modern. I wish there were more videos on this
Thanks for watching
Your video helped me, gave me confidence...thx. I watched it a couple of times just to make sure I could do this...and yep, I was able to change a few hallway lights to this same kind of LED you have in this video. I appreciate your teaching.
Glad it helped and thanks for watching
I just installed my light using your video. Thanks!
Glad it helped and thanks for watching!
Thanks for efficient nice video.
Every one please like it!
At very end when light turned on !You forgot to say: Thank you God that I finished well and healthy with no incident 😁thank you for a beautiful and efficient video!
I said it but I don't usually put that camera. And as usual I also had to ask forgiveness for some other things i may have said during the course of the video when things go bad. Now that part starts out on camera but careful editing and music cleans that up.:) I also want to thank you for watching and commenting
I think the same thing. No smoke. Let’s wait a second to make sure.
The onlybquestion I wanted to ask is , Do I need to drill a hole (not screwhole but big one for upper fixture) on my concrete ceiling or just ordinary wires are required to install this light ?
Are you wanting to drill a hole through your concrete ceiling big enough to get only the wire through and not put an electrical box? This fixture mounts flush to the ceiling and needs to have an electrical box to mount it to and to have room for the connectors. They make boxes that are very shallow and you could possibly chisel out concrete to get the box flush with the ceiling. Maybe some watching has a better solution.
the only real human information video on utube, about this types of lights. Thank you! well done. btw how many watts is the lamp?
12.5 watts. Thanks for watching!
@@HWDsouthDIY thank you
Nice video!
Thanks for watching
Haha no smoke. Thanks very much, now I can do mine :)))
:) Thanks for watching
I have a similar light fixture that is larger. When we hung it I could not figure out how to open it for cleaning and thought I would not ever have to do that. Now there are little dead flies in there that I have to clean out. Do you know if that is possible with integrated LED fixtures?
No trouble yet with mine. It does look like there are some screws that could be removed to open the light but you would have to take it down to try it. Yours may have a different setup. Anyway it looks like it might be possible but also looks like it would be a pain...
And when I wanted led ceiling lights, I just bought some led light bulbs to put in my existing fixtures. Gee, I could have done extra work instead.
The existing light was a fixture that hung over a table that we removed. It had to go anyway. Thanks for watching.
noob question here but what happens if you swap the black and white wires? so it's black on white and white on black. Will this connection have any future negative effects, e.g. over-heating maybe?
I've never done that with this type of light. I'd guess that it could cause problems, maybe much quicker than having to wait for it to overheat... It would depend on how its wired internally. Maybe someone who has done it or knows more about it will comment.
Thanks for your video. Getting ready to change my fixtures to flush mount LEDs. Since its been 4 years since you installed how is the lamp doing. Is it still working?
Still working fine. I think I mentioned in the video that somewhere on the packaging it said it would last 45 years. I hope I'm still around then to tell if it did... :) Thanks for watching
looking good! can you please provide a link for the same product but from ebay? I want to buy it too^_^
thank you!
Best I can do is tell you I got it at Home Depot and at the beginning of the video I show the box it came in. It has manufacture and model number on it which should help you find one. Thanks for watching.
Curious how long this took to install. I have three to install, an electrician quoted me 1.5 hours.
If I wasn't videoing and didn't have to look all over the garage for my tools, I'd say 30 minutes. An electrician that does it every day and knows where his tools are would be most likely be quicker, but there may be surprises when he removes the old fixture that he has to deal with so he has a little cushion. If I was paying someone I would be ok with that quote.
Thanks for watching
@@HWDsouthDIY I guess you mean 30 minutes per light fixture?
Yes, per fixture.
"cool, no smoke" literally me
Anyone knows what the problem:
I just bought it a year ago. And now it's not working. And just lightly flicking
Question how was the light in the room at night? Was it bright enough or did you need to add additional lamps to the room? Thanks
I have 2 of these in the room, rarely ever have them both on. There were 2 in the room already so I replaced both. 1 centered in a room will do a pretty good job. If it was centered in this room 1 would have been plenty. Let me get back to you with how big the room is, I could guess but would rather give you accurate info.
15' X 15'
I am new to light stuff. Is there no bulb on these lights? I have one of these in a house i recently purchased and am trying to figure out how to remove it so i can replace the bulb.
No, at least not on mine. It claims to last for 45 years but if it fails it's a throw away.
Can you tell me the watts of the light and the color temperature? 5000k?
12 watts, 4000K
Ours started flickering and flashing then it turns off after dimming, what might be the problem? Can it be repaired or we need a new one?
I think you need to check if the light you got is made for dimming first. If it is check if your using the right dimmer switch. I had some trouble with mine when I hooked up the dimmer. I went through verifying with the manufacturer that the dimmer I was using was ok for my fixture. Then as a last resort I read the instructions that came with the dimmer. I can't clearly remember now but somewhere on the dimmer was an adjustment that limits the range you can dim the light. Once I played around with that I was able to get mine to work. I think I limited the dimming to something like 20% on low end. This kept mine from going into that flashing weirdness. Does it work with no dimming applied? If it does start to dim it very slowly and see where it starts to flicker, then if you have an adjustment on your dimmer you can try it. Mine behaved just like yours, I could dim it but it did not like being super dimmed.
I hope this helps I know I rambled on a bit. :)
@@HWDsouthDIY okay thanks I'll do as you have suggested
Is it difficult to change the bulb?
What about other complaints about this bulb?
The box says it will last 45 years, or 50,000 hours of continuous use. It will most likely outlast me before it needs replacing. I have no complaints with it so far.
Thanks
It doesn't have or require bulbs, the LEDs are integrated.
I moved into my new home 6 months ago. New house and the light does not come on in the closet.
Hopefully everything else is working?
Omg first 5 seconds….next video
You only gave me 5 seconds? Wow, YouTubin ain't easy :) Anyway, thanks for watching those 5 seconds!
Some plastic fixture has no ground wire to connect. So what do I do with the ground wire from the ceiling? Is it safe?
If there is no ground wire from the fixture you sometimes may find a ground screw on the fixture or the hardware used to mount it to connect your ground wire. If you have no where to connect then the manufacture of the fixture must have designed it that way and considered it safe. I have seen them like this, but if you are concerned the best bet is to contact the manufacture of the fixture.
@@HWDsouthDIY what's ground for if the whole fixture is plastic besides the mounting bracket
If your asking about the ground wire in your ceiling, and your talking about a residential application, it's there because one day you may decide to change to a fixture that does require a ground connection, and its required by code.
@@HWDsouthDIY just found out the current fluorescent ring bulb of my old fixture is only 30W..canceling that order because I don't wanna bear any risk
What if the LED fixture has two white wires and a ground? Does polarity matter on these LEDs? And what if it's an older house with no ground screw? Should I screw it to the box somewhere or just cap it?
Two white wires is strange. On the fixture I installed they were very specific about connecting hot to hot and neutral to neutral, so at least for mine it seems polarity mattered.
Do you have a ground wire in the box? Is the box metal or plastic?
You may want to check the documentation for the fixture if you have it or look it up on line.
@@HWDsouthDIY Yep I'm going to have to post a pic somewhere. As far as the ground the light fixture has a ground wire but it's an old house so I don't know if it's better to attach the ground wire from the light to the junction box somewhere or just cap it.
I don't know, if the box is not grounded it won't do much if somehow the frame of the light gets energized...
What is the lifespan on these type of lights?
They claim 45 years.
@@HWDsouthDIY mine not working after only 6 months? any idea what to check,, do they have warrenty,, builder put it in so i dont have no warrenty and i left it as is, and now its over a year,, so not covered under builder no more,, any tip please what to check if its not working.
With these type of lights I don't think there is much you can do other than verify that power is getting to the light. The may be a component or 2 that can be checked if you have some electrical skills or know someone who does. First step is to verify power is getting to the light. Again you need someone familiar with checking electrical circuits and who has the tools to do this. The builder wouldn't help?
I also touch the metal and see if I get a shock!! from loose wiring
Yes, I figure if I installed it I don't want someone else to get shocked so I better find out now. Thanks for watching
I've just installed an LED ceiling light, it was a fiddly job involving lots of small screws. my problem is it doesn't appear to work. The circuit is attached to a dimmer switch- is this the problem ( the LED light comes with its own remote control for power on/off and light settings). The wiring is ok as the house wiring was working with the previous fitting. The instructions are useless (what there is of them!) Can anyone help?
If the dimmer was for the old light that may be the problem. Can you or whoever does your electrical work replace the dimmer switch with a standard on/off switch? If that works you can use your remote to control it and just leave the switch on. If you don't change the settings much, set it where you like it with the remote and use the switch to turn it off and on (if the light maintains it's settings when powered off). These are all guesses since without knowing the light manufacturer and model that's all I can do.
@@HWDsouthDIY Hi thanks for taking time to reply. I figure that the dimmer is the problem. I'm going to change it this weekend.
Playback X2 to save u time
Are you calling the yellow wire a bare ground wire?
Nope, but I should have said the yellow wire with the green tracer on it is the fixture ground wire. This wire connects to the bare ground wire in the junction box in this video.
@@HWDsouthDIY OK Thks...
No problem. Thank you for watching
you lost me at the start- when you said you connectd the frame to the jbox??? t
The white circular ring (I called a frame) that attaches to the junction box.

I don’t want bright azzz lights overhead......it makes my face look weird. #wtf
Funny you should say that, I added a dimmer a short while later because it was so bright. Thanks for watching.
