[@jerrieeverett]

Of all the videos I watched-you’re the only one that showed me what I needed-how to address the chain and wires. Thank you!

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

You are welcome! Thank you for watching and doing your research enough to find my video haha. Best of luck with the project!

[@JodiJames]

Oh thank God. Succinct and comprehensive. Finally. Thank you for not filling this video with irrelevant bs. I appreciate you.

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Jodi, I do these videos for you! Haha Thanks for watching and commenting! And glad you like the short videos.

Perfect video. You explained every aspect needed for a successful re installation. Especially the part where you mentioned, hold the weight of the chandelier. (Or control it). Thank you.

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

You're so welcome! I'm glad this helped and I appreciate you watching and commenting. :)

That looks so updated now! Especially removing the shades gives a modern look🙂

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

It does huh?! It looks good! Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting!

[@rebecaventriere1606]

I watched several videos on the same topic and your’s by far was the most detailed and informative:)

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Thanks Rebeca!!! I appreciate the comment and you watching! Did you get the project done like you needed to?

[@rebecaventriere1606]

Unfortunately no. We’re in the beginning stages of repainting most of the interior of our house. Ceiling, walls and trim. 😅

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Well hopefully it goes well when you get to that point. Best of luck!

Excellent, lots of detail, the chandelier looks great!

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

[@carolinalopez3648]

At last ... very informative spot on video. Thank you.

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Thanks Carolina Lopez!! Appreciate the comment and watching!

This actually helped me with exactly what I wanted besides painting it.

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Nice! Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad this helped!

I was wondering if I can just put some good looking bulbs in the similar light fixture and leave it just like this! And that’s exactly what you did, just wanted to make sure it’s safe is it?

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

For sure! Not all light fixtures need a cover for the bulb. It all depends on the look you're going for. This is going to be out of the way so people won't be touching it as they walk under it. Nowadays there are so many different kinds of bulbs that doing this is totally safe.

What spray paint did you use? Is this a matte black?? Great work!

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

I used a matte black spray paint from home depot I believe. But I know you can get it shipped to you also from Amazon. Check the link in the description. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

[@margaretdenison7533]

What spray paint did you use?

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

I used this one: amzn.to/3kEeu66 you can do Amazon or its also available at home depot. Not sure about Lowe's

[@amandatrayes5272]

You really need some candle bulbs in there.

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

That would look better for sure... good suggestion

[@mindy1835]

What if the wires are white color?

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Good question. You can use a voltage tester to see which one is "hot" or the black. What you do is flip the breaker to then disassemble everything. Leave the 3 wires exposed but the ends should NOT be touching. Flip the breaker back on, grab a voltage tester (can use a voltage pen) and touch the end of each wire. Here's what will happen: the ground should be an exposed copper wire, no beeping. The neutral will also have no beeping. The hot will beep like crazy when you test it. Once you have tested, take a piece of tape that you can write on. Write "hot" on it and tape it somewhere on the non exposed portion of the wire. Flip the breaker back of to reduce any chance of touching it while taping. Now you know and can proceed to wire correctly :)

[@fourpawstwofeet]

I think the person meant about painting them? Can you spray paint the wire?
