This was the most useful video I've come across on this type of lighting. I searched for this type of lighting trying to figure how to change the bulbs but now find out that ut doesn't use one. Impressive
I bought these at COSTCO , put on in my walking closet, the laundry room and putting 2 in the kitchen . Guess you can tell I like them, LOL
Thank you for sharing. I bought the same flush mount at Costco couple of months ago and until now my husband has not installed it. Watching your video really help me boost my confidence to do this myself. Again, thank you.
I’m glad it was helpful. Thank you!
that is so funny, i almost buy it yesterday at Costco, i am renting and my place has NO lights in the center of any room except for "track lights" not good, i might go get it now...lol, i have been learning a lot here in RUclips on how to do everything...jejeje
Thanks! My dad installed a similar light about 3 years ago and it's been flickering really badly this summer. I was looking for a video to remind me of what steps he took, in case we need to replace it, and this was perfect. :)
So glad it was helpful. Thanks 😊!
I just installed the same one thanks to you. Cheers!!!
Thank you
Was a great help
Thank you so much. The perfect video I have been looking for. I have a green wire instead of red.
Very good explanation! Thank you! Changing fixture in my closet today!
Awesome! Good luck with the install. Thanks!
Connecting the wires are professional skill, the others are easy enough . Thank you.
Thank you!
This video was very helpful, thank you !
I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks!
Great video, thanks for sharing. Can you share what influenced the decision to place the outlets and lights on the same circuit?
Thank you your video was really helpful.
Thanks, I’m glad it was helpful. Happy New Year!
Nice job, thank you
Thanks!
Great video. Explanation was so simple and clear as it should be. Thanks brother.
Thank you! I’m glad the video was helpful. Take care!
@@diypotentials So after watching your video last night, I decided to remove my existing ceiling light and discovered that it only has two wires (color coding is not super clear on these but I assume one is black (hot) and the other one white (neutral). However, what do I do with the ground wire attached to my new light? Do I just put some tape on it and leave it alone? The old light was also housed in some sort of large metal enclosure in the ceiling so I am also confused what to do there since I was expecting a normal junction box that I could screw the new light into.
@@sunnysingh786 Sounds like they didn't ground the old fixture.You can attach the ground wire the existing metal casing if you like or leave it out altogether. For the old junction box, I would try to find if their are existing screw holes that would align with the my new mounting plate. If you can't find them, you might have to drill new ones or replace the box with a modern one, depending on your situation. Check out my floodlight installation video. That might offer other ideas for mounting the fixture...Be careful and good luck!
did you use the mounting screw that came with the light??? a lot of COSTCO reviews said they were 2 short, I used the ones that was holding the fixture that I took down that were a little longer and worked fine. Adding this, the one I put in the kitchen I used the screws that came with the light and they worked fine in mounting the light.
awesome. thanks
Glad it was helpful. Thanks!
Thank you so much
Thank you my friend!
Could the red wire be used as a three way light switch?
What if the LED fixture has two white wires? Does polarity matter? And what if it's an older house with no ground screw?
Very good video sir and i need your opinion i want to use the same led fixture from costco in my kitchen right now i have 3 fluorescent fixtures with 6 t8 tube lights should i use 3 of these led fixtures or is it too much light my kitchen is only 12 x 10 and thank you for all the information👍
With 12 x 10 room, I think one light fixture is more than plenty. The fixture is very bright. Thanks!
How long do they last? Was thinking about changing out lights in house, but concerned when they finally go out, I'd need to replace the whole fixture, correct? So did you buy extras, in case you have that issue? Thanks
Can’t tell you how long they will last, but no problem at all since I have them a year ago. I replaced all my ceiling fixtures with these LED ones-they are bright and energy efficient. Once they go out, you replace them with new ones. I don’t anticipate these will go out the next couple of years, if they do, there are more of them in the market. Thanks!
I have a house that has wiring that must be older and they are missing the housing bar that the ground attaches to. I bought this light for a remodel in a bedroom I have finished everything else but I cannot figure out my wiring so I'm hoping to have to pay someone to come out 😒 so I hope I am happy with this light, I bought this same one from costco
Thanks for sharing. I’m happy with the light and I have no regret. Good luck with the rewiring project.
Thanks, video was super helpful. Had the dreadful 4 wires and wouldn't fixture wouldn't turn on after installed. Think my red and black need to be switched since they are both hot.
Thanks for the nice word. Glad it was helpful. Stay safe...
thanx for the video. Do you know if this fixture can use a DIMMER SWITCH to turn on and off, and dims the brightness if needs to? if so, is it a special dimmer or any led dimmer will work? Much appreciated.
I think if the dimmer switch is LED compatible, it should work. Thanks.
Where do you get the green wire used at 7:20? My light fixture only came with white and black. If I go to home Depot, what do I look for? What is it called?
The green wire is called the ground wire...Thanks!
You can use a ground wire pigtail. They're sold at Home Depot :D
I just bought the same light. I am trying to replace a 2 bulb light fixture. I assume I need to cutoff one set of wires. The problem is the current fixture black wires are connected to yellow. And the blacks wires covered White to white as expected. Does that mean the yellow is live also? There is no ground I believe.
Hello, for safety purposes I cannot give you advice. It sounds like the previous installer treated the yellow wire as a black wire and the 2 bulb light fixture worked in the past…be careful. Thanks!
So I installed a smaller LED lamp which required pretty much the same steps you did but now it turns off on its own every few minutes, it turns back on on its own for a while and then back off... For a moment I thought it had motion sensor but that doesn't seem to be the case... Could it simply be busted?
Sorry to hear. It might be a faulty LED lamp, but can't tell for sure. Thanks!
Mine does the same thing every day. Sometimes it's fast and doesn't fix itself so I just turn it off for a bit and back on. I hate it so much and it was there when I moved in
I've the same sort of 4 wires, I tried with your suggestion (leaving the red wire), but the light is on always, we could not control the light with switch, I mean to say that we could not switch off or switch on. The light is on always. Please suggest on how to come over it.
I’m not familiar with your electrical set up to give advice. But it sounds like the black wire is not connected to the switch. Maybe the red one is.
I connected the red wire to the 2 black wires. This way, I can utilize the dimmer switch.
Could the red wire be connect to a three way light switch?
Hello, the red wire was not set up for a three way switch. Here is a good video on 3-way switch...ruclips.net/video/xBEi_fYDMJw/видео.html
how can i adjust the light?
can i connect 2 lines, black and neutral only, without connecting ground? some house only black and neutral.
If the house doesn’t come with the ground, I think that would be okay to connect the 2 lines. Be careful. Thanks!
@@diypotentials happy new year, thanks
If the led dimmable stops working how to replace only the led?
You'd have to replace the entire fixture if for some reason the LEDs stopped working.
So I installed this to a van ceiling and I have no idea how to turn the brightness on. It's super dim
Hello, I’m not sure if the van runs on 120V AC. It might be running on 12V DC. That might be why it is super dim.
I bought a dimmable led ceiling light. On the light, there is 3 wires(bronze, white, black). Should I connect them all COLOR to COLOR ?
On the ceiling, there is Green/yellow wire with a tiny round connector at the end of the wire, bronze wire, 2 White wires connected connected together, 2 black wires connected together, 1 red wire.
what I have done is : connect white to white, black to black, leave the bronze wire freely, hook up the green/yellow from the ceiling to the light pannel with a mini screw driver.
i'm able to turn on/off with the remote and all features work. However, the switch on/off on the wall is useless, it has no effect. So in order words, I MUST use remote to turn on/off the light.
any help please? Thanks
Hey Jimmy,
Thanks for asking. I’m not familiar with your electrical set up to give advice. I'm not sure why the ceiling has 2 black and 2 white wires coming of one single switch. It sounds like these wires are connected to another load. The light being always on sounds like the black line is not connected to the switch or if connected to the switch, the black line from the circuit breaker and the black line from the switch to the LED light fixture are touching even if you turn the switch off. You might want to get it checked out. Also, the one single red wire on the ceiling is also a live wire. If that wire is connected to the switch, that might work. In that case, I would connect the black wire of the LED to the red wire instead. Please be careful. This is only my opinion. Good luck.
I did what you suggested and it worked (connecting the black wire of the LED to the single RED wire of the ceiling). Thanks again! :)
Awesome!!! Glad to hear! Thanks!
I have two white wires to coming out of mine
Buy a tester
Well i fucked up so i have no lamp
Too much explanation
Just get to the point next time
lol, you want the video to skip over the steps explaining how not to electrocute yourself
@@chriskurtz3274 you mean the common sense part?
@@outlaw441 i think it's more common sense to know how to fast forward a video in my humble opinion
