    Excellent! I hope now I can replace my old ceiling light with a sensor down light. Thanks so much for the video.

    Excellent video! Do you think you can do a video on installing a ceiling fan?

    Your videos are great. Perhaps another video on the installation of multiple downlights to the same switch?

    • @allelectricalau

      It's exactly the same mate. You just join another cable at the plug base and daisy chain across to more lights and follow the same process. Just need to mark them out and not drill into anything 🤣

      @allelectricalau so the daisy chain creates a connection in series? No need to connect in parallel? Haha yes, check before the drill.

    • @allelectricalau

      @BingOztube no the connections are parallel A-N-E earth join at each light and the end light will only have one cable

      Cable in and cable out

    Hi, I replaced a blown downlight globe with another, and it didn't work even though it had correct wattage and correct pin type and was the same bulb any reason why it wouldn't work? So I bought the exact same brand globe next time and it worked? could that be something to do with the transformer ?

    I may not be alone here - but I have no idea what hard active and switched active mean mate. Us DIYers looking this stuff up on RUclips aren't electricians in our spare time so many of us don't know the lingo of the trade. Cheers

    Was your hole drill size larger than the actual Downlight? 90mm Downlight, 92mm drill bit?

    • @allelectricalau
      @allelectricalau  7 месяцев назад

      92mm hole saw the actual face of the downlight is like 110mm but the cut out required is 90mm

    My down lights are the plug in type so i just get a new one and swap them. My old house was hard wired like these. When they died i just left them until enough of them burnt out it warranted paying an electrician to come out and replace the dead ones but doing that meant that the next time they go.... They all go..

    You selected cool white and said You can always change it later? Maybe we could have a video on how? We would never select cool white

      With the new tri-colour downlights there is just a little dip switch on top where you can change the colour temperature

    Electricians and tradies get paid MORE than medical specialists like brain surgeons. Most get cash in hand in Australia too so avoid contributing to society through tax.
    I certainly can't afford an electrician to come in and replace over 24 standard lights in my place with 24 downlights. It will be exoberant. It cost $450 to replace 5 lights with downlights 6 years ago. Ah, god knows how much a large job will cost nowadays... doubtless over a grand and a half! Ill do it myself thank you, and thanks to your video. Im already on struggle street..

      Lol in America, the UK DIY electrical is ok if you know what you're doing. I learned how to wire a plug in the UK because you're expected to know these things. The problem in Australia isn't that people are DIY'ing stuff it's because there is 0 education and your electrical standards cost hundreds of dollars behind a damn paywall. Stop blaming DIYers for a problem that could be solved with better education.

    Is it must to use surface socket to connect the down light in Australia?
    Can I just use wire connector connect the 3 wire ( A,N,E ) to the down light?

    • @allelectricalau
      @allelectricalau  7 месяцев назад +1

      You can hardwire if you prefer. Just easier to replace in the future if it just plugs in. And you don't need to be an electrician to change either.
