How to Install Spotlights | Change Pendant to Downlights

[@stephenjacob8473]

Best video by a country mile on how to fit these lights. I feel so much more confident in giving it a go myself. Top job mate

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. Glad it has helped you.

[@d3vilzstorm144]

Brilliant video, every possible question answered without needing to be asked by a DIY'er. I was going to cave and pay £500+ to get mine done but knew I'd be more than capable to do it myself thanks to your video mate. Cheers 👍.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

That's great, good luck to you 👍

[@ef7480]

Did you test Zs and Ze? No good if the automatic disconnection device doesn't work if there's a fault..just 'FYI in' ya..

[@Benzknees]

@@ef7480 - Why would you need an earth loop impedance test for fittings with no earth?

[@paulsymonds8496]

just like magic...after my last question about lack of access above my ceiling..... Your video pops-up with your video on "How to Install Down Lights with No Access" Thanks again... you're a star.

[@alabbadi]

I love way you explained everything , the paper diagram to the actual fitting. super clear and very informative. gives me confidence to tackle this myself.

[@jonathanhall3823]

You no your stuff, I’ve learnt a lot. I’ve wired a new light from a pendant to a new led light.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Great, well done

[@malom513]

Brilliant vid, just fitted 10 spots and this no nonsense vid was excellent for completing the job.

[@johnmcdonald9977]

I could become addicted to your videos. They are so well organised as a step by step guide- thank you!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you like them!

[@16monkeyman16]

Might be an older video but this just saved me paying to get this job done! Really clear and straight forward instructions. Thanks!

[@Skilluminati92]

[@KatherinePolley-d7g]

I'm new to electrical side of diy, and this was super helpful and easy to follow. Thank you

[@RossJenkins1]

Great video mate. I've had downlights waiting to be installed for 3 years in an en suite that was done out 3 years ago but never got the lights done. Have managed to do them myself within 2 days of watching your video. Top man.

[@ceriwilliams5111]

Thank you. I'm swapping tube lights to spotlights in my garage soon and this explains everything very clearly. Cheers.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks! Glad it helped you.

[@brrymcgolly]

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks

[@MadDog_Rules]

Thanks!

[@MadDog_Rules]

Sorry to be one of those people. But i'm upgrading from 6 halogen downlight fittings to G10 led bulbs. Do i need transformers for each fitting? I'm confused from Googling it as some say yes, will need transformers and others say the G10 bulbs have built in transformers. Appreciate any feed back.

[@user-SHBlackie1969]

Clear well explained video. I'll let you know how it goes when I do mine in the next week or so!

[@thelancashirecarper]

Outstanding video, need to do this in my kitchen. I was very unsure how it was done and thought it would be very complicated and expensive but this will save me hundreds of £’s thank you!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alemtarekegn7747]

Thank you sir now i understood easly,you are very helpful!!!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad to hear that

[@chrislow123]

Been looking for a video like this for a while! Going to have a go at converting my hallway rose for just 3 spotlights to begin with 👍🏻

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Go for it 😊

[@fatimaebrahim4130]

Well explained thank u sir God bless u

[@xx.1.]

Fantastic video as everyone said answered alot of questions. I will be adding 2 more lights to my existing 6 downlights and feel confident to do this myself after watching your video!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Fantastic!

[@masa4936]

I’ve never a video like this in such simple detail ! Thank you very much ….following 👍

[@TheDIYGuy1]

I'm glad you found it useful! Welcome

[@hongkevin4544]

Great video mate. Thank you for showing me the nice work. top job.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

No problem 👍

[@Alex24248]

Hi DIYGUY, just fitted a set of 3 downlights into my bathroom (IP Rated of course) to replace my old ceiling rose. Had a slight bit of figuring out to do when I got to the rose and discovered 5 cables coming out of it. Worked out they were the shaver socket feed and the extractor fan. Couldn’t have done it without your video, saved myself a lot of money and the bathroom looks much better. Thankyou mate 👍🏼

[@TheDIYGuy1]

That's what this channel is all about

[@Mels1705]

Extremely detailed, useful and well illustrated! Thank you mate!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JonnyFrancey]

Great video. U made what can be a tricky job look easy.I was waiting for all the negative sparkie expert comments 😂. Earth's still have to be connected. Wago box needs sealed with tie wrap. Wago box needs secured to beam.

[@badhackers]

Best demo on KZbin. Thanks I’m gonna give it a go

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Go for it!

[@Mansviews]

Really good, mate. Helped a lot..

[@steveclouston7515]

Thanks for the video, every detail covered and I'm sure you've saved us all a few hundred quid each.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad it was a help

[@lukaszjastrzebski2410]

Life saviour!!! Well done buddy ;) the way you describe everything there is no questions left. Over the moon with this video. THANK YOU! 👏👌👌👌

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you like the video, cheers 👍

[@cpchris2]

Great video.. love those connectors.. I’m a sparky from Australia and we have those here too .. they are awesome

[@imDanielWood]

Amazing, think I might give this a go in my daughters bedroom, thank you.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Anytime 👍

[@sleepingbeauty0000]

Thank you for the wonderful step by step video. I know nothing about lighting at all. I only know how to change a light bulb 😅 Still, good to know the concept of it. P. S. Love your tat. Super cool.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks a lot 😁

[@Peezcrop]

I owe you a beer mate, your videos have saved me fortunes. Always well done and easy to follow. Cheers DIY guy!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Guinness please 😉

[@tiborkh]

Great video! Clear instructions and very well recorded! I’ll try to follow and will let you know how it goes.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Go for it👍

[@jayjohal6892]

HANDY TIP: When cutting holes in ceiling (messy job) attach a plastic tray between hole cutter and drill to collect all the mess! I cut out the bottom of a popcorn bucket about 2” high ! Trust me , you’ll thank me later! 😊

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Good little tip that

[@andrewtomkins2485]

Or use a dade 😜

[@jameseabonn2674]

I wish I had read this comment 10 minutes ago!!! Plasterboard dust everywhere.

[@MarQR999]

That's a brilliant idea ..... Maybe a KFC bucket will work as well 😋

[@TeeRMN]

Great work my friend!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks a lot!

[@selvajeganathan4013]

Really helpful !

[@benjaminhuthwaitevlog913]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

[@kierenhudson6331]

I did my own kitchen rewire as a sparky. We ripped full kitchen ceiling down and the first joist bay was 300mm then 470mm then 400mm. Safe to say we just marked the top of the walls below ceiling height

[@rav1970]

Great video, very clear and simple to understand 👏

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks 👍

[@jerrymccarthy1924]

Great vid,kept it simple,go to guy!!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

[@jinksyboy]

[@TourUK]

Amazing job done buddy’

[@harpandking2765]

Another great video. Fantastic!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

[@AutoAbsolute]

[@FraserMartinEwell]

[@Maryus89star]

[@stefedwards2934]

That was a superb video👍 Thankyou🇬🇧

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Anytime 👍

[@sa4540]

Great video, as always. Can you also daisy chain an extractor fan to this sort of system?

[@CloakedFrequencySeekersSociety]

What colour is on that wall behind you at the end please? Great video!

[@fitness1ststeps]

Hi mate, will these lights be OK for a bathroom? Thanks for the great vids 👍

[@em8969]

Excellent video buddy

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks 👍

[@timveres8914]

Easy job, try ground floor, ceiling into floor void,

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Yep it’s certainly more difficult but can be done with the right approach.

[@thomasmann9175]

Thanks a million. Is this wiring "in parallel" that means if one spot does the others keep working? Thanks

[@paradad999]

You laid the cables over the insulation and moved the insulation from around each light fitting. Is that deliberate? A great video and exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Firstly it is for the purpose of giving the viewer a good visual representation but also I applied covers over the spotlights so had to do this for that reason too

[@ashvanbro9329]

Amazing work mate well done

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks 👍

[@bram7659]

Superb video! 👍🏻

[@markrowley16]

[@shanebh007]

Hello great video, How long did this take you from start to finish as a professional, say if you wasn't filming content how fast could you get this done. Thanks in advance

[@mohammedqadeer6690]

Very good informative video, thanks for sharing

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Your welcome 👍

[@PaulEvans-ct6rh]

Fantastic video thankyou

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@800Viffer]

Great video with excellent presentation (content and pace) Subbed

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Cheers for the sub

[@ALKUKES]

Was wondering if this spot lights are any good for kitchen, what sort of brand is this? Was looking for some good quality spot lights any idea? Cheers great video keep up

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Hi, thanks. Yes fine for a kitchen. They are LAP.

[@darragh3407]

Could you use 1.5 flex cable as well for the job ?

[@naqiabbas160]

Great Video! Very easily explained, can u add as many spotlights as u want so there is nothing to do with load

[@thedigitalemotion]

That was bloody brilliant! I just need to confidence to give it a go! :D

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Go for it 👍

[@bartosznadrowski4915]

As everyone above, greate video! Question of the day is...... What should you do with the blue wire coming out from the light switch ? As my spot lights are like yours (2 in - 2 out).

[@alexwarner2647]

excellent videos, thanks. With the electrics do you need to be qualified or get the work certified?

[@AH-qt4dp]

Great video do do have one if u need multiple rooms

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. Not yet.

[@hcdwinter6482]

I would use a Hole saw centring device to enlarge holes in the ceiling, quick and easy tool to use , Lots of video’s on KZbin 👍🏻

[@TheDIYGuy1]

👍

[@davesmith729]

Amazing bro well explained thank you

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Your welcome 👍

[@rocha2333]

Thanks for this useful video! Are these spotlights more energy efficient than a single one?

[@Adam-xc8lv]

Excellent!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Many thanks!

[@deanopenn]

Hi mate, great videos. Instead of the wago boxes could you use connector strips?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Hi, thanks. I would advise the use of wagos due to the maintenance free nature

[@johnjones1514]

Brilliant Video

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks 👍

[@bruceaylward2126]

Great video, really helpful, my only question would be if this is being done downstairs how do you install or change the rose i was under the impression it has to be accessible, this i difficult downstairs due to the available access from above or below? thanks for any help

[@preyashdesai]

Fanstatic video. Cant thank enough. What is the rule of thumb for number of spotlight you use for a given size room ? (just a rough estimate)

[@denisconor648]

Great stuff.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DjGiluk]

Great job - very useful video 👍🏻

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks for your comment. Glad you find it useful

[@ManosBSkyB]

Really helpful! What if the room I want to fit the spotlights is in the ground floor? Once I open the holes, how do I fit the cables and do the connections at the end?

[@jcs3330]

Great clear video. But my question is, is this still possible if you have no access from the rooms above, ie the floors?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Yes, I have a video called - How to install downlights with no access above

[@paullefur6213]

Got a few of these from Screwfix the bezel's come in diffent finishes i.e chrome, stainless steel, brushed nickel and more but like in the vlog so easy to fit

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Absolutely 😁

[@MW-vs1sx]

Hi - Really good video. Can I just ask if the same method can be used for 2 way switching of spotlights utilising the Wago boxes (3 plate method with 3 cables coming in to the ceiling rose) - 1.Power, 2. Switch from kitchen back door, 3. Switch at hall entrance to kitchen)? Thanks

[@tomosborn17]

So helpful!! Keep up your the good work- Please!!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks, glad it was helpful

[@ratchriat1716]

You mad it so easy and simple thanks for sharing

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Any other stuff you'd like to see?

[@mpollofabrice1325]

Great stuff Sir. I second the comments below to say that i was impressed about how clear your explanations were for simple minds like us. Quick question. If i wanted to still keep using the initial hole and install a Windlight. Would that still be possible? Thanks in advance.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad it was helpful!. Thanks
