Thanks again Terry I installed these Aiboo lights and what a difference on the appearance of the new granite counter tops now I need to finish the 3 by 12 tile that will be the back splash on entire walls! 👍🏼☝🏼🎉
I appreciate seeing your solution. Thanks for making this video.
Glad to help!
Very good that you emphasized the legalities and the general permitting process.
Most DIY video’s fail to mention it.
FACT BASED thanks for watching!
Nice work thanks for the ideas !
how do you run the light wires if you don't have continuous cabinets, i.e. a window interrupting your cabinets?
great description ... I've subscribed!
Greetings; I came to this video from your GFCI video posted
March 2018 just so I could give a comment you will see lol
First let me say what a great video it is. You explained everything more than well enough for your average homeowner can understand it.
Then I went to your channel and looked at all the videos you have already posted and am rather impressed. Your channel is one of the best I’ve come across on RUclips ever. Thank you for doing what you do and please keep it up.
I plan on going through and watching all of your videos as a kind of refresher course on basic electrical.
Right now I’m trying to fix the electrical in a travel trailer I just purchased and your videos are a big help
Do you have a patreon account or some other way to support your channel? I would gladly make a donation to keep the videos coming lol. Again thank you
I’ll be referring back to your videos as I progress on my project and probably asking a few questions as well lol
Cheers mate
Thanks Prepperjon! Just this last week I started to set up a Patreon account, but haven't finished it up yet. I appreciate your support, and soon I will have something in place. I have a great resource to help you out, Learn the basics of Household Wiring at Udemy.com If you use this promo code ELECTRICAL-ONLINE you can get it for $11.99, a $199.00 value.
I have two sets of cabinets separated by a pantry. Each set of cabinets has an electrical outlet along the top edge. The outlets were put there anticipating the future installation of lights along the top of the cabinets. So that I do not have to run wires through the pantry, I am think of using two sets of the AIBOO lights. My question is this, will a single remote control both sets of the AIBOO puck lights? If so, this would provide the appearance of a single system of lights.
are PUCK lights any better or worse that the STRIP lights? The differences?
Thank you
Joe
I use these lights all the time on my media walls, recently on the lower brightness they start to flicker? Any ideas? They are run off plugs rather than hard wired. Seems if I connect just 3 rather than 6 it stops flickering 🤔
Hi Terry, I have hardwired low voltage halogen puck lights under my kitchen cabinets. Is it possible to change those out to led utilizing the existing wiring?
It should be Frank, just have to make sure all the existing wiring meets the voltage ratings of the LED system that you choose. I would need more information to advise with confidence. You could send me an email at: terry@electrical-online.com
Is there any delay turning on these lights? We have ours plugged into an outlet controlled by a switch and there's an annoying two second delay turning them on
I installed some LED strip lights in my home in Costa Rica. They are plug-in transformers, all plugged into switched receptacles, 3 in total to do the entire L-shaped sections of cabinets. All the same brand, purchased the same time, yet the middle section also has that annoying delay! I've accepted the annoyance, but you could try changing the transformer / driver that is acting in this manner?
@@theinternetelectrician I think I'll just live with it because these lights are a lot better than the old halogens we had in there
Why didn’t you use double gang box for switches
What is the name of that wire channel system so I can look it up on Amazon, please? I would love it if you had the link to it.
This was from Legrand. Cord cover / cord hider, or any surface-run wireway system will do.
Is there a reason for not using a double gang old work box instead of two single gang boxes?
No, just less change of having drywall patching to contend with by doing what I did. Either way would have been fine.
thanks, this is helpful !
i would have put the junction box in the top of the lower cabinets. No space taken up.
Good point.
Awesome. Clutch video
Great video. Thanks. Did you know that Aiboo used some of your video for their own video on the Amazon listing? Hope they got your permission.
Thanks! Yes, this was sanctioned but thanks for the observation!
great job...I wish I knew the 'electrical jargon' you were using,,,I am in market for under cabinet lights, I do have existing halogen puck lights that I want to replace. Currently, I use on/off switch to turn these light on or off. Do you think I can use same switch to control my new LED puck lights?
I didnt see u install the actual lights, do u just stick them under the cabinets with adhesive? Thx
Yes, you can use the adhesive tape provided, or fasten them with short wood screws, or both. I never have much luck with adhesive tape alone so I did both.
@@theinternetelectrician thx, so theyre not recessed then?
@@malawigold747 no, this installation they are not.
Hey Terry 👋🏻 Unrelated question for you, sir:
I have a switch that controls a single exterior light in my courtyard. I’m looking to replace the existing light with two led (Lowe’s item number: 1238472) canless downlights. I’m also looking to install between both new lights a ceiling fan that does not have a light fixture.
How would I go about wiring the fan (constant hot) so it operates by chain and the new lights remain controlled by existing switch. All shared power from same source.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Well that depends on how the cables are pulled in that circuit. Give me the details of what cables and splices are in the switch box, and the light outlets and I'll be able to tell you if this is going to be possible without fishing new cables in.
I ordered some puck lights with aluminum instead or copper wiring by accident. Look out. Aluminum isn't as good a conductor. I'll still use them because I'm running less than 12v dc.
It should be OK if you're careful with your connections. Are the light fixtures approved?
Is this temporary? Would have looked much cleaner if you had run the wiring through the inside of the cabinets and poked out through the bottom at each light. I definitely don't want to see those wires
thank you Terry!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Jorge Cardelli thanks!
Only in Canada do you have a 1:30 min bit about permits, permission, inspections and fees.
It's called CYA.
It’s not just Canada. Also in New York lots of red tape BS.
@@theinternetelectrician no it's called over regulation and being the subject of a nanny state, of which Canadians just voted to keep going. Nice work
@@uknowwho613 Not this Canadian. Very disappointed in our election results.
A permit? For under cabinet lights? Lol!
Young Gunz would most people get one, no. Should they, yes (technically it’s adding to the electrical system). Should I cover my @$$ by mentioning it, yes!
Ey Terry why is my ac/dc adapter blinking when hardwired ???????please help asap
$100 for a set of $79 puck lights, and then recommending a contractor installation? This is exactly why we DIY.
nice job. he chose cold color led instead of warm tho.
Cold is pretty common for a kitchen application.
Could you please add subtitle on your video for non-native English speaker? thank you so much
Turned out nice but it looks like you damaged the paper laminate when you drill though the bottom. Now, about that permit thing... where I live, that's called paying more taxes. What is the fine for getting caught upgrading your house without this permit thingy?
can u use any AC/DC Adapter that will take 120 v to 12v dc ?
I know that there is legal reasons for getting a permit. But I just find it hilarious. Changing a light switch? Electrical permit. Changing a lighting fixture? Electrical permit. Nothing says “don’t fix anything” like charging home owners money to update their homes. Legal? Sure, ridiculous? Absolutely. xD
The rule of thumb, if it is a replacement in kind, (changing a light switch or a receptacle, etc) then no permit is required. Any additions to the electrical system technically needs a permit in most jurisdictions. Does it always happen? I'd say maybe 5% of the time?
Too many ads
Sorry! I have to get paid somehow! RUclips decides when and where to place the ads and then I get a couple cents!
What's next a permit to take a shit?
Just think what a crappy job being the inspector would be!
@theinternetelectrician not a job I would sign up for
I was uncomfortable of you chopping 1/3 so off the 2x4. I’m never sure if that is an important stud or not. So I always assume that it’s important. You were unsure of the stud. Never saw the insulation of the pucks. Never understood why the boxes weren’t positioned up top instead of taking up space in the cabinet. You could have used the box the the microwave is on. That would eliminate a box . This is the only video I’ve watched of your projects. So we’ll see a few more before I decide to hit that subscribe button.
A $100 permit to install under cabinet lighting? Seriously? This would be why I don't live in Canada eh?
