Earlier today, I successfully replaced an old chandelier fixture in our dining area with a new one. I'm a senior citizen who never did anything like that in my life, but watching your well done video enabled me to do that rather than paying someone else to do it. Thank you for showing this!

[@joesannicandro9910]

I just hung three pendants in my kitchen, and this video was incredibly helpful! Best DIY content I’ve seen.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Happy Father's Day! The trailer is a throwback to a Father's Day promo I filmed with my son a few years ago. Wow they grow up quick. I'll see you all in the live chat! Cheers

Hey Jeff! Have you done a garage compressor install with anti-vibration feet?

[@CowleyStudentJ]

I have an old gouse where the light fixtures upstairs are along the walls (they stick out pretty far from the wall). Do you have a video showing how to update those types of lights to something newer?

SO much praise Jeff to your teaching style and humor, so easy to follow and understand. Watched another electrical video and within 2 min I was lost with all the technical acronyms being thrown around with no explanation. Keep it up, you are helping alot of people!

[@kimstewart2894]

I just subscribed to your channel, because you remind me of my Dad. He was an electrician for almost 40 years before he passed. And his absolute annoyance when working was when previous work was done ‘half assed’. He’d come home and share all of his stories, and I was lucky enough to be shown how to do so many electrical jobs myself.

[@griffithlanecreations7572]

This video gave me the confidence to try doing it myself instead of hiring a handyman. Thank you so much!

I know most of this information, but I'll always watch Jeff's new videos because he'll always tell me something I didn't know before.

[@certainlyitis]

Half way through the video and I've already learned two great tips outside of wiring new fixtures - 1) twist pendant lighting to ease excess wires up into the can. Brilliant! 2) wear gloves when touching flat paint on ceiling so as to not leave oily spots that attract dirt. Great video. Thanks!

[@tdowd439]

Love the way you teach! Also the best videos with none of th loud goofy music in the background. ❤ keep up the good work!

[@MinecraftPro97k]

Even though I already know how to work with light fixtures, this video is very helpful for those that don't know how to work with them. However, I recommend using a voltage tester before working with electrical.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

especially in older houses where the power goes to the box first and then to the switch. Cheers!

[@robertgiresi9515]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I've learned this the hard way in my house when I tried to install motion detector switches in rooms I frequently forget to turn off and found out they can't be installed because there's no ground wire going into the switch. In those situations, but the black and white wires are both hot, hence, no neutral... so the motion detector can't be wired to it.

[@quinnkemp3654]

outstanding video! very thorough. most other pendant lighting videos completely skipped past showing how to cut the excess wire and thread back into the fixture. Thank you for not skipping steps, my friend :)

[@KuromiJade]

Thank you. You make doing these things myself seem less scary ❤

[@cybermad64]

Thanks a lot for that video, I was having the same issue and I was about to mode the whole electric box instead of having the hook + chain + wire solution. This make so much more sense.

[@korniciacc18now]

I dont ever comment. So I am a super beginner when it comes to diys I am the type of person that would pay someone than to do it muself. His video was the MOST HELPFUL VIDEO EVER! I removed my old pendant lighting ans installed the new one.

[@Jayefx]

Thanks mate. Your a legend, I had to change a fixed ceiling light with pendant, as well as changing the same UFO lighting in this video. I got quoted $80 per fixture, and call out of $150 so in total $310 savings.

[@aiselam1]

Thanks a bunch. Your videos are always helpful. I installed 2 pendant lights today thanks to your video.

You're videos are so informative and easy to follow, really appreciate it!

[@rjt135]

Also, a fun fact about those porcelain sockets, they sell replacements. I fixed several in my house where the contacts had worn down and started to fail. Great way to add life to an old fixture.

[@troyg1337]

I watch so many of your videos, they've become my new favourite thing to watch every night catching up on old videos you've made, i love DIY but I have none of these jobs in my near future but you're a very likeable guy and the videos are very interesting and informative, keep up the good work man

Happy Father’s Day Jeff! I truly love you and your channel. I’ve learned so much, but I think most impressive is how much you dominate the algorithm. No matter what video topics I start with, you pop up within 3 videos and then it’s just You for the next 3-5 videos. Don’t get me wrong, love your videos, but I’m definitely not in the mood to watch or listen to how to build a shed, for the 4th time, when I was trying to watch a completely different topic. Not disgruntled, in fact I find it hilarious, give a thumbs up(if I haven’t already) and just pick something else. But wanted to share my observation that you’re as good at you tube as you are construction. ;)

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Not sure how this happens, but thanks for letting me know! Cheers!

[@wmk3953]

Look for the stripes on the lamp zip cord and hook it to the WHITE or neutral side. This wire generally is connected to the threaded shell of the socket. The black can connect to the lamp chord that does NOT have stripes. This makes changing a burned out lightbulb much safer. If the shell threads are live and you touch the lightbulb threads your more likely to get shocked. This has been pretty standard for twenty to thirty years or more in North America.

[@lancedoyle5026]

Totally agree. Another tip, black is death, the black wire is the hot one.

[@lcook0825]

Great video Jeff and extremely informative. Thanks.

[@robertgiresi9515]

In my early days of home ownership I didn't create projects for ceiling light fixtures, ceiling light fixtures created projects for me! 1957 house with old wiring and old fixtures. First project I ever did when I first moved in, I painted the master bedroom. I pulled down the light fixture to paint around it and the wiring insulation was so brittle it shorted out the breaker and all lighting going upstairs. Luckily I was able to call my dad and had a multimeter handy and was able to test the wiring and retape where the insulation cracked off. A few years later I was down in my decades old finished basement and needed to change a bulb in my recessed ceiling fixture. The old fixture was so worn out, when I was screwing in the replacement bulb, instead of screwing the bulb, I was screwing the entire fixture until the wires wrapped around so many times that I again shorted out the entire circuit. Found out the short didn't blow the breaker but luckily traced the short to the light switch which somehow blew before the breaker did. Well that fixture and light switch were both garbage. The fixture was decades old style, so I not only had to replace that ruined fixture, but every fixture in the basement because the newer ones did not match the old one. I also had to learn how to remove the 12x12 ceiling tiles and re-patch them, since the tiles were also older style and the newer tiles they sold didn't match the old style. Didn't want to spend the time, money and effort to re-tile the entire ceiling. I learned real quick about the hazards of being a newbie buying and older style house... and those issues happened in the days before youtube and had to learn on the fly and on my own. Somehow I learned it and survived. Now I got youtube and great teachers like Jeff and I'm loving it!

[@AZVIDS]

Best DIY videos made are from this man👍👍👍

[@Foodofthesoul]

You just earned yourself another subscriber. I do underground and service plumbing by trade. Your ability to provide knowledge in a thorough and easy to understand format allows me to branch out of my trade and tackle easy projects around the house with confidence. Would i have hired an electrician to come update my old chandelier to an led dome light? Probably not... but would I have had a thought in the back of my head that i might be waking up to fire in the night...? Possibly. I appreciate that your videos provide the understanding of the whole picture so i can apply it to my own situation not just copy what i see and hope its the same for me as it was for you. Thanks again!

[@surimaribo24]

[@eleanoreagly4844]

Helpful, will save me $256. that was the handy person's estimate to do the work to do four flush mount LED fixtures.

[@SL-fu7sh]

That cost is insane! I was quoted over $300 to replace a 7 by 4 fixture! Not! I can do this myself!

[@jimmychang8238]

At 26 to 28, did you remove the original ground wire from the ground screw? At 26:05, it looked like you wrapped it around the screw. But at 28:10, it doesn't look like it is there anymore.

[@budenify]

I was confused about this as well. I thought the light fixture ground has to connect to the green hex screw and then connect that to the ceiling ground

[@ryansnyder7444]

Jeff dewalt makes a driver bit set that comes with a silver bullet looking thing, it is a magnet so you can prevent screws from falling down. They have an older yellow version or the same thing in the craftsman red.

[@stephane184]

I usually wrap the light fixture wire around the box wire and then marette them together. I also usually marette the ground from fixture to ground in box but I guess if mounting plate has a ground screw that is good enough provided they metal box is grounded already.

[@lancedoyle5026]

If you leave the insulation on the wire after partially stripping, you can twist the strands tight a lot easier than just using your fingers. Works great!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers I'll try that!

[@dominiqueh6287]

This is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for this video. I bought a new construction home, but wasn't allowed to choose any of my light fixtures (or anything else, for that matter). The builder mixed the finishes and I HATE them. I have those terrible globe lights with brass, white, bronze, any type of finish you name it, along with an old school chandelier with those glass globes that look like flowers. Terrible! I have a couple of questions for you, because I couldn't find your tools you were using in the video in the links. Where did you get your tool that allows you to strip and cut the wire, and what is it called? Also, what do you call the long extension piece attached to your drill and where did you get it? Thank you again for all of your help. I sincerely appreciate you, and if I missed these somehow, I apologize.

Hi there! I am curious if this light was connected to the same light switch of the ones behind it? I am trying to hang 2 pendants with their own light switch. I have 4 recessed lights in the kitchen. Can I use one of the recessed lights wiring and then split it from the original switch and create a new one for the 2 pendants? I would also have to split the wires to power both of the new pendants. thanks!

[@unsulliedsickness8979]

I was an electrician for several years. From the mid 90's to the early 2000's.I did the electrical in many new homes under construction as well as commercial and service call work. It's not a big deal but you said every home has 14 gauge wire. I can tell you with absolute certainty that isn't always true. I never used a single inch of 14 gauge wire when wiring a new home. Not once ever. Strictly 12 gauge. 12/2 on recepticals and lighting.12/3 on lighting with multiple switches. I also worked on custom design homes where every recepticle had it's own 20 Amp breaker. For dedicated home theaters, work shops, etc. $1,000,000+ homes with 10 200 Amp breaker panels. I'm not sure if that was just the way my company did things. But 14 gauge 15 Amp is something I learned about much later after I stopped doing electrical work. At the time I just assumed that everyone did it the way we did.

[@JustinL614]

It's funny you say that because I've done homes in the past that are worth between $350,000-$3,000,000. I would say that most of the more expensive homes use 12awg and up. Some even wanted metal clad everything and conduit in their homes when they only required romex. Instead of PVC and pex they wanted black pipe and copper. Only the cheaper smaller homes had 14awg 15A. Now I work on skycrapers in NYC and you will never see a 14awg wire.

[@10catapiller]

If you were working on bigger homes 12 gauge would be used because of voltage drop, typically every 100ft is a step up in wire size

[@johnstewartrichards5922]

14/2 Vs 12/2. Jeff is in Canada. Most all residential wiring in Canada is 14/2 wired to a 15 Amp Circuit Breakers. In USA most all residential wiring is 12/2 wired to a 20 Amp Circuit Breakers. For 14/2 15Amp wiring is just fine for most homes. In Canada if you have longer runs say beyond 70 feet, you might go up to 12/2 but still use a 15 Amp breaker. In Calgary due to older influence of US oil companies, sometimes US standards followed. Chicago used to have different building codes. Blame Mrs O'Leary's Cow (still? = dunno ; )

[@JustinL614]

@@10catapiller Well even though you are right about upsizing the wire in this case it would not apply. If the reason was voltage drop there would be 14awg circuits closer to the panel even in the larger homes because anyone who knew what they were doing would not waste money for voltage drop in places they didn't need to. He said he never saw any 12awg circuits at all. What you are saying is a factor but it's not the reason for why that is in homes. Now as I do skyscrapers in NYC now we do calculate for voltage drop every day as sometimes we have to pull risers that are hundreds of feet long. In the large homes I worked in money was not an issue and the owners wanted all 20A circuits even though I offered a cheaper price for 15A circuits. Most of the time these wires were way oversized.

[@JustinL614]

@@johnstewartrichards5922 Makes sense except I'm not sure about 20A 12awg wiring in most of the US. In New Jersey it's mostly 14 wire. In New York City it's mostly 12 wire. Not sure about other states.

[@hoot2416]

You're not kidding about the labor shortage. I just bought an older 1951 house and was looking for electricians to do some work. The 4 I found in the area were all booked 3-4 weeks out. I called one in the next town over and they were booked 3 weeks out. I guess I'll have to do it myself.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Yup, pretty much everything you need to do is going to be DIY from now on unless you are willing to pay the outrageous prices. Cheers!

[@sopauljauck4163]

Always love your diy vids. Just to confirm I am asking a dumb question. I do not have to turn off the switch on the breaker? All I need is to keep the wires from crossing and the light switch off? It's been so hard for me to find help on replacing my ceiling lights that I am about to give it a try myself.

[@FauxiFox]

Happy Fathers day to you and all the dads learning how to reno their own homes! I love your videos so much. I just bought my first home and I am very excited to do the work on it to make it my own. It was built back in 1968 and is located in northern texas. Where would you suggest starting on what may possibly be a complete rebuild? I already know the windows need a major upgrade, but Im not set that I wont redo the layout eventually. Im just a little overwhelmed on the mass of projects that are in my future. What would you suggest is the best way of going about this issue? Where would you start as a seasoned builder/renovator?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I would start upstairs if it is a 2 story. if it is a 1 level house then start with the main bedroom and ensuite bath. having a great place to retreat too at the end of renovating is the key to enjoying the process. Cheers Allison!

I love your channel... Keep up the great work brother... I'm stealing power from a receptacle to feed 2 LED lights... I went from the receptacle up to the first light, then to the 2nd light, then to the switch... I'm not sure if the switch is faulty because I have constant power to the light now and the motion sensor/dimmer switch won't turn the light off and the lights are constantly on now... Should I have went from the receptacle, to the the switch, and then to the the 2 lights instead? Does it matter what order?

Just got some kitchen pendants for my new build and noticed when I took the cover plate off that the box isn't flush with the drywall, so my ceiling plate and canopy don't line up at the screws to attach. Should I get the metal piece you use here instead, or is there something else that I should do?
