I watched 3 or 4 videos before going to install my Ring floodlight and this was by far the most helpful. Thank you very much for the video. I'll definitely be subscribing!

I have a double gang light switch feeding the old floodlight above the rear entry... I'm tempted to just keep using the switch but have to basically keep it in the on position all the time hahaha ...

You can do that or 1. You can take the 2 wires off the switch, wire nut them together to have constant power & put the existing switchback as a “dummy switch” 2. You can take the 2 wires off the switch, wire nut them together to have constant power & remove the old switch install a blank on the existing cover.

@sparky_izzy thank you for the ideas that would be a better solution

Good video. I enjoyed the long form. Not gonna be a cabron pero, mijo. Dos cosas 1. From what i noticed, you either didnt( or didnt explain) removing the wire from the recep that you initially cut when resplicing the wires in the attic. Harry homeowner wont even bother and have hot exposed connections sticking out the back of his outlet and wonder why his shit keeps tripping or blasting him 2. You used the orange wire nuts that came with the light. Sure theyre UL listed and fine but might as well just use tans or your red tans. On any job ive ever been on, the orange nuts immediately go in the trash. Unless were using em to cap a dead circuit or just grounds. Wasnt shitting on you or nitpicking too hard, as i enjoyed coming along for the ride in this video. And your "apprentice" seemed helpful, but green ha. Good shit, compa. Im subbing and gonna keep an eye out for more vids Sorry for the novel. Be safe out there

Hi Sparky Izzy, great video. I'm about to install a Ring Spotlight Pro (wired) at my mom's house. Rather than use the outdoor outlet, I'd like to pick-up power from an existing porch light about 15' away. From what I've read, it seems as though I should use that 14/2 Romex and run it behind the siding, obviously waterproof. Thoughts, am I on the right track? Thanks!

@sparky_izzy 4 ай бұрын

I wouldn’t recommend this. If you connect to the existing porch light, everytime the porch light gets turned off …. The Ring Spotlight Pro camera will turn off. You want all security cameras to have constant power, no switches.

@spea111 4 ай бұрын

@@sparky_izzy I should have been more clear. I plan to switch the porch light bulb to a smart bulb on a scheduled on/off. The switch will always remain in the ON position providing constant power to the security device but the bulb will toggle on/off based on the times that I establish within the app.

@sparky_izzy 4 ай бұрын

@spea111 okay then you should be fine. When you say behind the siding, I would imagine you mean behind the wall in between the wall studs. If so, you are on the correct path 👍🏽

@spea111 4 ай бұрын

@@sparky_izzy Hello ... behind the exterior siding. Between the siding and plywood on the outside of the house. Not on the inside, between studs.

@sparky_izzy 4 ай бұрын

@spea111 yeah that’s not up to code: It would need to be behind the wall or over the siding installed in conduit.

Question, how do I know if I have a 15 or 20 Amp? I'm installing to my garage door outlet.

@sparky_izzy 2 ай бұрын

If the circuit is on a 15amp breaker you want to use 14awg romex. (14/2 - white romex) If you have a 20amp breaker you want to use 12awg wire. (12/2 - yellow romex)

don't you love that the Ring base is bigger than the outdoor box you should have put a seal tight connector on the back side of the box and seal those screw plugs up

Took about thirty minutes to install on my separate shop building. But....my son spent an hour trying to connect to the Ring app. He finally gave up. Now I have spent at least two hours trying to get thru the Ring hoops. Sending the wrong verification code, timing out etc. Finally, it tells me I have to buy a Ring chime to get the weak signal from my house to the shop. Grrrrr.
