How to Convert a Hardwired Chandelier to a Plug In for Backdrops

[@ingridakerblom7577]

I love that all the search result shows women doing this kind of tutorials! 💪

[@BreeC-q1m]

Your video was SO helpful! I have had this chandelier in a closet for probably 8 years because I didn't want the permanence & cost of an electrician to re wire it. It looks perfect. You're amazing!

Yeaaaa, THANK YOU, I'm sooooo happy you said "black smooth" "white ridged"!!

[@Elle.Webb11]

Girrrrrrl, i followed this today, specifically looking for your video, and it worked! Thank you so much! You just upgraded my kitchen BIG TIME

[@suzyq690]

“This may be my last time on video” 😂😂😂❤️❤️ Adorable! Tks to you my sweet lady, I am confident to try this!!

[@theposhacademy]

Hey Suzanne! I did this video so long ago. Amazon now carry these already corded.

[@nellie8192]

Great simple instructions! Thought I needed more equipment or accessories but you really made sense just had to strip an extension cord. Thank you so much as I hv been procrastinating for 2 yrs .

[@theposhacademy]

Thanks for watching. Amazon now sell these corded now.

[@tamiet1069]

Oh my goodness... yes!!! Doing this on 4 chandeliers for my nieces wedding! Thank you thank you. Wish I had your energy at 1 in the morning!!!

Hi! Loved your video. Just a note that removing the plastic from the wire is “stripping” and wire strippers are very helpful. What you’re calling attaching wire is actually splicing. Great video though; I loved your total joy when it worked; I think we all can relate.👍

[@SazzadAli-u1g]

Your thought process is so comfy to follow.

[@theposhacademy]

Thank you so much!

[@quanstephens3875]

Thank u because thos was the most easy to follow hard wired to plug in tutorial.

[@DeShawnHatcher]

You just made me so brave, Im going to try this myself. Bless your dad for showing you. Thanks!!!!

[@theposhacademy]

Thanks for watching! Anything you'd like to see me add to the channel?

[@on.pupose4christ]

Been wanting to do this for years with a chandelier I've had to take down each time I moved....now that I know it can actually be done I'm just as excited as you are Sis! AWESOME JOB!

[@angie00718]

Finally a good converting video! Thank you, can't wait to do this

[@Vivajeste]

Hi, just a short note. Those little white caps are twist on and twist off. I don't think they need to be squeezed. Just twist tight to be secure. And the green wire that's not used doesn't need to be clipepd. Just put another wire nut on it (the little cap), and you're good to go! Otherwise, great video! Didn't realize I didn't need to buy a swag kit if I already have a chain, but it did have a switch included, and that is helpful! Thanks!

[@fromhgwaii]

Hi from Canada Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! I have watched several and yours is the most helpful in how you show closeups of each step. My dad (gone 25 years now) was a handyman too and I know he’d be proud of me learning this. I bet yours would too .

[@theposhacademy]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@MariasMaryMagdalene]

You are awesome. I have this exact chandelier to convert. Great instructions. I already purchased a swag kit, but you have made it so simple. Right there with ya on late night inspiration 😂 Thank you!! 💟

[@mommyanddaughterseries6135]

Thank you so much!!! Because of your video I was able to do my daughter ball chandler for her room. Blessings and thank you so very much!

[@theposhacademy]

Great job! Happy to help.

[@svingysvingy]

I appreciate you so much for explaining and demonstrating this so clearly! After watching many videos on how to do this, I was still confused. But after your tutorial here, I am ready to go!!!

[@theposhacademy]

Glad it helped! thanks for watching

[@GertieBirdieJems]

Leave it to a Philly girl! Thanks! Appreciate the video!

[@theposhacademy]

Nice vid! I found this video by searching for how to install a chandelier with power cable. I'm connecting my IKEA PS 2014 pendant lamp to the cealing in my apartment that doesn't have a connection in ceiling. From what I've came up with, I can use two toggle bolts to attach the chandelier to ceiling using the included plate. From the comments in vid, looks like I need to keep the ground wire instead of just capping it. But, with that being said, can I just splice a 3 prong extension cord (to connect the ground along with the other two) and connect it?

[@Brandon-me7sn]

[@jacobsumner8421]

does this work with any mountable ceiling lights? i've been looking at some flush ceiling lights for my apartment because my apartment is so poorly lit. would i also be able to do this with several small ceiling lights if i have enough outlets?

[@theposhacademy]

I only do this with chandeliers, I would suggest to proceed with caution!

[@bramberdon]

Girl! Thank you!!!

[@theposhacademy]

You are so welcome!

[@clk1231000]

You're super cute, lol! I love your enthusiasm and can definitely tell what part of the country you are from in your accent. Love your video... thanks so much! Fellow daddy's girl here...

[@richw456]

Would still have connected the ground as the chandelier is made of metal and would offer protection from electric shocks

[@richw456]

No problem. I’d always advise connecting the ground(earth) wire up to anything electrical that has metal parts particularly if they’re exposed because in the event of a fault the electricity takes the quickest route to ground and without the ground wire connected to try and route it to ground your body becomes the quickest way for it to pass and that’s how you get shocked or worse electrocuted

[@mommyj6586]

@@theposhacademy Great Video! Thank You. The outlet you will be plugging this into as all outlets these days are grounded already. I do not believe you need to connect the ground wire in this case. Great Job : )

[@kennethfarringtonjr6887]

Nice

[@theposhacademy]

Thanks

[@robintomczak1090]

I was just wondering if you had someone off screen when you were doing this? because as you talked about your father… two things on the table, that you weren’t touching, rolled in a little circle

[@lm-rz9fq]

Really girlfriend.....no research...you’re real handy dandy if you know what I mean.....yet I wished for simplicity and clear instructions

[@Mike_Greene]

'high voltage" ?? lol. Now im scared lol jk

[@Mike_Greene]

smooth vs rigid Is the one you've connected to the black, the smooth one, NOT rigid?? lol again. Dont hate me for pointing this out, its you being fake trying to use words you dont usually use and obviously dont know what mean

[@theposhacademy]

Your absolutely right. But I swear alot so I was trying to refrain from doing it just like I am trying now. Thank God for growth! Have a nice day on me, it's free!

[@jaydenmarrero6350]

No ground=house fire do not do what this video shows

[@kellih.8327]

Thanks. I keep seeing people commenting this on all these videos, but no one ever actually offers as an example of how to properly ground it when I ask. Can you offer some actual direction in how to do that, then?

[@RealCheeseOnly]

@@kellih.8327 lol I am seeing the same, with no solution! If you find one, let me know.

[@vickiechandler3112]

aren't most outlets that it will be plugged into already grounded

[@theposhacademy]

There is no need since these are now sold with the plug in option. Check Amazon.
