2:21 Since the wires in this light fixture are not color coded, the hot wire should be the smooth one and the neutral wire should be the one that has raised ridges on it (you can feel these ridges with your fingers). If the fixture wires are incorrectly connected to the ceiling box wires (i.e. reversed), then the entire light bulb socket will be energized (potential shock hazard when installing or replacing light bulbs).

“Attached into the same holes used for the cover plate” All the people in the UK like me watching and crying at the prospect of drilling through old lath and plaster, finding a joist, nogging between them if one isn’t directly above, and fitting a bracket.

Only thing different in mine is I have the copper wire for grounding thats short only to connect to that horizontal bracket with two screwholes. In some cases I see a naked copper wire come up from the fixtures but mine had only 2 wires come out from the fixture. Should I just connect that to the copper wire from the bunch of wires for ground provided. Rest is just Black to black, white to white.

How do you install a chandelier with a 3” downrod on a sloped ceiling? Please help me?
@gregj34197 жыл бұрын
Save yourself a headache and make sure you adjust the hang nut first, so that when you put the ceiling cover in place, the threads are about half way through the ceiling cover. Eyeball this before you hang the strap. If you try to adjust the length afterwards, the wires will twist up inside the junction box or twist around the hang nut and possibly cause a short.

UGH! THAT CAP! That's why I'm here. I can't figure out how to secure the cap with the nut with the wires in the way 😡😓
@kcflygirl293 ай бұрын
This is what I am afraid of. You have to twist the screw into the ceiling pretty tightly as that is what holds the top cover plate in place. I have put the chandelier together and my daughter is going to hold it while I connect the wires, but won’t they twist up while screwing it in to the ceiling?

Michael, I purchased a second hand hanging light and, of course, want to hang it. But before I do, I want to test the light to make sure it really works. How do I hook it up to an electrical outlet to test it? Can I just splice an electrical extension cord onto the light wiring and plug it in? Thank you for your response. Bruce

So weird. I wanted to refresh my memory and figure out if the ground wire goes all the way up the chain, and to my surprise this video has the exact light fixture. I got it for $20 at the Restore store, but I had to buy a chain and wire. If these guys paid $46 for a new one, I didn't get such a good deal.

The wires in the actual chandelier light fixture were marked ALTHOUGH not colour coded . The wires coming out of the ceiling junction box are generally white for neutral , and black ( or red ) for the hot wire .

Not once did this guy mention using an insulated ladder,safety glasses or gloves. You guys need to stop discrediting the electrical trade that takes 4800 hours of apprenticeship before you could even take & aquire a c10 license so Please mr handy man tell me how you turn watts in to amperes off the top of your head without googling it, or what phase 1,phase 2,phase 3, symbolize, or please what does bonding mean in the electrical trade.

As an Electrical Contractor for the last 16 years, you should never hire a handy man to do electrical work. In most states you must be a licensed electrician to do electrical work for someone else. Many of the techniques shown in this video are wrong.

+bensonelectricinc I can't tell which is the hot wire because the fixture was given away by a friend. There is one wire coved in plastic (that can be split in two) and one uncovered. How do I find out which side of the plastic covered wire I connect to the hot wire? Please help. I would love to use the chandelier.
@bensonelectricinc8 жыл бұрын
+malu brochado the wire you have is probably zip cord. One of the leads should have ridges on it. That wire goes to the white wire in the electrical box. The other insulated lead is the hot wire. That lead should go to the black wire. The bare copper wire should go to the green or bare copper wire.

This is a “Hey look who I know & what he can do” video. Not educational at all. Poor camera work & editing doesn’t show how to connect the wires very clearly. Guess it was meant to show the cool graphics & force viewers to constantly rematch with no pay off 👎👎👎👎
