Can you show how it looks in the dark with the light on?

[@beachbums2008]

It would have be nice to see the solar light lit up at night to see how bright or dim it was.

Haha … you crack me up in every video or live stream. It’s just another positive part of your character. Charming guy . Thx for all your help over the past two plus years. From the first drywall video I saw I’ve learned to keep it simple.

This is the perfect video for me!! I have a broken post in my lawn like that... Attempted to replace the bulb only to have some odd buzzing noise come out. I honestly don't even know where the switch would be, it has never worked since we purchased the house. THIS is the perfect fix and will be my next small home project! Thank you!!!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Glad it helped!

I had an old gas lamp post in my front yard that probably hadn't worked for decades. It was well-built and all, but more than showing it's age. I didn't want to replace it with a solar version that would work like 2 hours into the winter evenings. So I bought an electric post light, but instead of running 120v to it, I ran low voltage landscape power to it (with six path lights along the wire) and put a low voltage A19 bulb in the socket. It all runs from a dusk to dawn sensing inverter that I have on a timer and it's like a grand total of 10 watts. You do have the added bit of landscape wiring, but because it's low voltage it can be just under the surface. Oh and as far as price, if you exclude the path lights, standard lamp posts are ~$60 and the inverter and 100' of wire was $150, so in total it's about the cost of the solar lamp. Low voltage path lights are about the same cost as good solar lights so it's kind of a wash, but you gain the advantage of having them on whenever you want and not having to keep them in sunlight.

Now that you mentioned Red Green... stuck! Can't unhear it now! 😅🤣😂

[@flyingswallow3586]

When do we get one of the q&a’s with an electrician?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

really soon. I will post a schedule for the next month on the community tab.

[@xamargalber8088]

I loved !! 🥰

[@wadebarnett2542]

Jeff, was the top part made of plastic? Does the light stay on all night? Do you have enough insulation in the top of the mobile home? It doesn't look like there's much room for it.

[@vickigonya9432]

Love it!!! Looks easy enough!!

LEDs degrade due to Environmental heat. They do not have to be on to degrade. Outdoor Luminaires often need special air vents to allow air pressure to equalize & not allow water in. In mornings when luminaires turn off interior air pressure can reduce bringing in morning dew moisture. High IP ratings are needed. It is all about what you want to see and how you want to see it. It if looks like what you want then great, but be aware you might not get the service life you expect.

would have been nice to see it actually work at night to see the brightness of it.

[@cinnabarsin4288]

Someone wiring a live wire to a ground on a single pole switch in my kitchen has 100% reinforced my already existing presumption to just turn off the mains every time.

“This is not D.I.Y. This is D.I. disgusting” 😂😂

[@easypainterslondon]

Look cool

[@crimsonleo2675]

I'm brand new to this world and watched a few of your videos. You often break things down well, but I feel a bit confused at times. Is there any group of videos you have that are for super beginners?

[@denisegaylord382]

Go dig back through his videos. Back to where he was doing projects in others homes. He was much thinner then, 😉. He has a vast library of videos. Many are very simple projects that any one new can tackle. His A to Z videos are great, as are his beginners videos. I have learned so much from him. He shows you his process, but the big thing is his mantra of know the end from the beginning, have everything on site, and if you aren't happy with a result, stop and fix it so you are. Do one small project at a time to build your confidence. A lot of this is not difficult, but its complex. Doing things in order is crucial for the end result.

[@curtisimo032]

You probably should have taped off the solar panels and given that entire light fixture a shot of the spray paint. That plastic is going to fade insanely fast

[@tomclore2085]

Did I miss the part where you installed the lamp post?

[@kristineolver3268]

We didn't even get to see it lit

[@CalebGibbsAvenue]

The title tricked me for a second. How to install solar...lol No way

[@Czechbound]

I spent the first bit of that video wondering if the water tower fell over, would it demolish the house. I think it just might escape :)

[@lmars5933]

You got a permit for that change out lol lol lol Jeff, looks great my friend 🌴😎

[@Dingle1234]

I used to work with a guy on the waterfront who wore coveralls covered with duct tape. I guess he couldn't bear to spend on new ones.

[@grandmaraps]

Shouldn't the the title be How to replace a broken electric lamp with a solar lamp on a post.

[@zacprunty]

And now I can’t unhear red green…

[@mrupholsteryman]

Same! 😅🤣😂

[@jill552]

Not much of a video. I did learn I wish I could use spray paint on myself go from old and ugly to brand new and sexy.

[@jmorv8866]

I always thought you sounded a bit like Rowlf the Dog, from the Muppets. :D

[@robd.4319]

save your Bacon. love it haha

[@chrislnflorida5192]

I live here and these 55+ over communities are hard to live with.

[@publicmail2]

And for a real usable light run electric...

[@theapocilip]

I have learned the hard way to always try to avoid buying from amazon. The quality is just not there and It will always disappoint. At the very least stick to brand names that you know very well but even then its risky.
