How to install POTS light in an insulated ceiling | No attic access

Adding POTS lights is a great way to brighten up any space and with these new LED slim lights is easier then ever. In this video I am going to show you how to easily wire in new POTS light using the existing wiring in just a few hours. These directional lights can be used in pretty much any space and you can easily adjust the brightness with just a flip of a switch. Let me know what you think of the video in the comment section below.

Good video except for the Longhorns t-shirt. Gig 'em! LOL

[@gamma1rza]

no fire safety concerns between light heat and insulation touching?

[@pauljamieson7417]

What about cold to warm air vapour barrier issues 🤔

[@gordonfongg]

You are missing the junction connectors. Without this, you run the risk of having the cables cut by the edges of the boxes.

[@1doug62]

You better pull it all down and install cable connectors on the boxes, it's a fire hazzard. And with this video the insurance company has all the proof not to pay. And 14/2 is fine, 12/2 is overkill for four 11 watt led lights.

[@HomeRepairHub]

I appreciate the feedback. I will update the video and the lights. The reason I went with 12/2 vs 14/2 is because that is what already run back to the main panel.

You forgot to put cable clamps where the NM cable is entering each junction box

[@jonathanbarnes5569]

What about the vapour barrier?

[@gilbertramirez4294]

How do you replace the LED if it goes out? it's not like a light bulbs replacement. Do i have to buy a whole new unit?

[@HomeRepairHub]

I apologize for the delayed response. Yes, you would need to buy a replacement. That being said, they say LED's will last around 50,000 hours. So unless they are on all the time you should get a few years out of them. You would need to check the box on whatever you choose to install for how long they last.

[@keeper64]

all that work and it wouldn't be certified because of no junction box connectors

Vapor barrier? Can you touch on that please?

[@HomeRepairHub]

So a vapor barrier is usually just a plastic sheet that would go between the ceiling and the insulation. This is just a way to stop any moisture from getting into the insulation, there are other reasons too. Is there any specific you have a question about.
