I am so happy you posted this. I finally have changed four of our LED parts for bulbs. Kits come with everything you need. I was surprised how fast you can install the bulb parts. I still have two more to do but I am so happy. I can use colored bulbs in these now for the Holidays. I was always kind of bummed I couldn't use them. I truly appreciate your showing this video. I had not thought of this. My husband is happy too, he didn't have to do it!😅. Thank you! I also just left the photocell working. I just left it as is. We have 6 lights, four on the front of our shop and these save us having to go out there and turn them on and off every night. They do not have to be disabled. I am thrilled about that!

Thanks for posting this! Mine started flashing and I replaced the driver.. Then another problem.. Fortunately I bought two of the Altairs at Costco, so I had a reserve. Next time, I will be doing this. This is somewhat similar to what I did inside my house - replacing CFL can lights which had ballasts die with standard socket cans and LED bulbs. Thanks again!

went to Costco and picked up an $8 carriage light swapped out the lamp /light parts and wired it to to the dusk light sensor it to 15 minutes including drilling a large hole for the wiring and done. Inexpensive fix..

Altair lighting now has a repair kit for $ 16.00 includes a new plate with built in driver and a new sensor. Easy install

If you call Altair directly, they sell the cheaper kit. I haven't heard if they last a bit longer, I have two (out of three)of these lights bad now, and I'm trying to figure out the best solution.

Hi can you convert the costco lantern in to light bulb just like you did but leave the photo sensor connected so it works like it first did when new

Hey there, great video. In your description, you have two product links. Does the one for the ceramic fixture come complete with everything needed for this conversion?
@ChevyGuy-kx7im
@ChevyGuy-kx7im 2 ай бұрын
the ceramic fixtures are just the fixture and wiring. You will also need the lamp rods (Amazon and big box stores) and lightbulbs

You have to replace the sensor with the 120V sensor. The one that come with the fixture is a low voltage DC sensor.

Hi Chevy guy. I loves this video. The only problem I have is that I can't find the light socket with the nipple that you used. Can you tell me where you got it or what is the proper name. Steven

Sure, here is the link for light sockets from Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083918KSB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the threaded nipples www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083918KSB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The light bulbs are also from Amazon and easy to find elsewhere. Good luck with your project

I have 3 out of the total 5 flashing! I need a fix to this. There is no way to retain the photocell feature, correct ?

I think you could just connect the photocell wires to the power wires? He took it out because he said he didn’t need the feature anymore but he didn’t say you couldn’t use it
@jasonlin5214
@jasonlin5214 Жыл бұрын
Did you try hooking it up like the other guys mentioned? Did it work? It should work if the photocell was rated for 120vac since in the new configuration, it's tied directly to power. Otherwise, would just need to buy another photocell that's compatible with 120vac and replace that too
@Neukids
@Neukids Жыл бұрын
So, the new ones don't have a separate wiring for the photocell feature. I was able to correct them later, without difficulty.

The sensor that comes with the fixture is a low voltage DC sensor. Tou need to replace it with the 120V sensor.

@ChevyGuy-kx7im
@ChevyGuy-kx7im 8 ай бұрын
I disconnected the sensor when I bought the lights, so if you want a light sensor, you will need to swap it for a 120V since the original is 12 volts

I have about 8 or 10 of these and several of them failed due to sub-standard drivers. So I decided to eliminate the drivers and led. Now they are working fine.

I did that on all 6 of our lights two years ago, they all failed in two years. Changing to bulbs is so easy, I used LED Edison bulbs in each. They look so nice! I can use different colored bulbs in them now for the Holidays. But I keep the automatic on feature on each. Works great!

Thank you for detailed video… I did this but left in the sensor, was hoping it would work… unfortunately now when I turn on the lights… they flicker… makes a clicking sound like a blinker in a car… (weird) no matter what type of bulb I use… the only difference in mine is I left the sensor in…🥲😢 guess I will try one more time to see if I can fix this. Darn was hoping this would be the fix… any suggestions???
