[@warrensmith1005]

Brother, you saved my life and you saved me between $75-$150 .Im so glad I did not have to hire an electrician. Many blessing to you!

[@stanleymichaelramirez4265]

Good job doing it yourself

[@mikeschafer7379]

Thank you so much. It's embarrassing not knowing how to do easy repairs. You made it so easy.

[@bluefan651]

Thank you, The guy at the store showed me everything but didn't assume I wouldn't have a mounting bracket. So glad I watched!

[@kittytails3361]

Thanks for all the help! I followed your instructions step by step and everything worked! You are the best and my bathroom thanks you. This is the first light that I have ever installed and with your help it was super easy

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Kitty Tails glad to help any time :D

[@kadeportz7123]

I’m 13 and did this thanks this was helpful

[@dananeal2745]

Thank you so much. I just installed a light fixture for the first time. I was really intimidated but this video helped immensely :)

[@Cowellini]

you made it look easy sir and im still scared though but im excited to do it. ill keep u guys updated

[@redhotsweetpotatoe]

Good info and well done. Of course, me being kinda old fashioned, I like the old lights the best lol.

[@MsMindyLuv]

Thanks for making this super easy to follow tutorial! Definitely going to be changing the fixtures in both bathrooms very soon!!!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Glad to help Melinda Goodwin :D

[@eastslide6996]

Haha I like the "most replayed" time stamp. You already know lol

[@poopsiepop3860]

*Me watching in 2021 actually wanting that fixture from the 80's*

[@katiejo1095]

Do you connect both ground wires together? There is one in the wall and one on the lamp.... also, if you have a double sconce with two white and two black do you just connect all three whites and all three black wires?

[@Kube_Dog]

The instructional part is from 1:38-5:17 and pretty good.

[@fangjian]

What about the ground wire from the wall?

[@NorthAmericaTENClosedCaptions]

What about the ground that comes out of the box???

[@keeysgaming]

Thanks so much for making this, I had no clue what I was doing , great break down you made it easy🙏

[@gillianlove6759]

Why didn’t you attach the two ground wires together ?

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

😂is it sad that your un cool old lighting is what I've been trying to buy? lol you just made me feel so uncool dude. still a good video.👏

[@kwasis3221]

Helped a lot. We needed help installing the somewhat of a similar fixture and this video is very helpful. Thank you for making this video.

[@rachelgrunewald7004]

Thank you so much! Easy peasy! I appreciate your sweet, fun attitude! I love a little humor always!

[@edwardtravis4003]

Let the

[@tjfleischh]

Thanks!

[@petercho5291]

What do you do if the light fixture you’re trying to install does not have a copper ground cable? Is it still safe to install without a ground?

[@FabbiRosario]

Thanks so much for the video. Much better explanation than others that I have been seeing this morning. Now I am confident to do this. BTW, my lamp is from Lowe's too ;)

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Thanks Fabby Rosario. I know you can do this project. Let me know how it turns out :)

[@FabbiRosario]

It worked perfectly! :) Thanks so much!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Awesome Fabby Rosario !!! Glad to hear the good news

[@syedaayeshasadeeqa217]

This is beautiful way. Thankyou fr giving the super easy idea

[@L8NiteCoffeeSips]

Well explained and detailed! Thank you

[@user-nm8nf7jk2z]

Worked very well.

[@TouchofShunshine]

Thanks for the upload.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Thanks redhotseetpotatoe. I hear ya with regard to the old lights, the 80s just aren't my style. But that said, some older models are really cool :)

[@Tanya-vt1sf]

Thank you much! Video was extremely helpful.

[@swordmasterB]

Crossbars I have do not have the screw and slot for fixing the part that holds the screws for the fitting vertical. Lowes do not have these either!

[@MrHank3rocks]

My sconce fell a half inch and cant get it to screw up tight again . Any solutions ?

[@kopdad5229]

How did you hold the light while rewiring it?

[@amymosbacher7130]

Maybe it's regional but I believe what you're calling a sconce is actually the shade. A sconce is a light that usually hangs next to the mirror instead of over the top, or just what a light that hangs on the wall instead of the ceiling is called. It's the name for the entire fixture.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

No, you're right Amy Mosbacher - it was truly a mistake on my part. I record these videos and edit them at about 4 am. So sometimes my brain is still only half powered up, lol.

[@SunnyMoonModalities]

thanks, helped our home repair

[@filler36]

what's up with that thick copper wire that no one seems to say anything about . I guess it just gets tucked in behind with all the wires but no connection ?

[@tailzzzzz]

The box in my wall doesn't have those 2 brackets, only the circular plate. My shoddy builder installed a 3-light, heavy vanity light that I'd bought, and it was sagging. Is this why? The absence of those 2 brackets? I bought a 2-light, less 'weighty' fixture this time and plan on installing it myself. I'm hoping it doesn't sag.

[@manuelramirez3063]

Thx for your help Boss!!! 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Manuel Ramirez glad you liked the video :D

[@DearBibian]

Hello & help!!!!.:. While installing a new bathroom light fixture I lost power in the laundry and hallway.. 😞 I checked the power box, all the breakers are on. Obviously I finished installation of the fixture and it doesn’t turn on although the outlet in the bathroom is working. What’s going on???

[@ninapanton6340]

Thank you for the video! I was wondering if I would be able to do this on my own (hubby is deployed) or if I'd need to hire someone. After seeing the video, I feel confident that I can do it on my own! Thanks :)

[@HomeRepairTutor]

I know you can do it Nina Panton. Many thanks to you and your husband for your service to our country. I hope he comes home safe and sound. You're my inspiration to keep going, it's easy compared to what you do :)

[@timrice5910]

I have a black, white, and RED wire coming out of the wall box, as well as a ground wire. The old fixture had a built in outlet.... is that what the red would have gone to? Should I just cap the red off since the new light doesn't have that?

[@JessyJ318]

Mine is wobbly?!

[@darwinsape9901]

Steam punk it.... :0) MAKE SURE you use the correct screw in the correct screw hole.... If you find your mounting screws are too short.. you've probably used them in the wrong part of the set up... see 3:57 Put Green protective sheathing on your exposed Ground wire AND your exposed luminaire Ground wire...

[@TheLilZeus]

Whats the ground screw connected to

[@Nelson1Mary]

thank you you make look so easy : )

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Glad to help Mary Lou

[@denise1home]

Thanks Jeff, I think I can do this!

[@HomeRepairTutor]

I bet you can tigerlilysandiego :)

[@denise1home]

Jeff Patterson Actual time to complete 18 min from the time I shut off the electricity until I turned on my new light--This is my 3rd home and 3rd bathroom remodel but I've always been afraid to tackle the light--thanks again!

[@bluwng]

No ground wire?

[@brandonkelly3272]

How do i remove a light fixture that doesnt have mounting nuts?

[@dr.margbwell2035]

The wires coming from the wall have two white and two black, but the fixture has only one white and one black wire. Do I put all three black together in one nut, or do I attach just one black from the wall with the black from the fixture, then the white wires the same way, and cap the extra wires?

[@Lonewolf3165]

If you have 2 Black and 2 white wires from the wall then chances are that they feed to or from another outlet or fixture on the same breaker. In that case just connect the 3 black wires together with the appropriate size wire nut and do the same with the white wires.

[@adamsdailydriveway]

What's up with that pink wall tho? Ever think of updating that??!

[@TheMetroDetroiter]

@adam husien I was thinking the SAME thing! lol

[@ms.marvelousblessed3245]

adam husien Lol

[@IAMHe777]

Who cares !!!! He showing us how to fix a light not paint a damn wall!

[@ms.ladietoyou8672]

lmao.

[@MrFrozenCanuck]

I took my light off yesterday and there was no junction box.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+Frozen Canuck Patrick James sometimes that happens. I've asked my electrician about it and it's pretty common

[@nicsmith77]

Replaced out light fixture, but the junction box is not properly mounted and is too loose. Now new light fixture is too loose against wall and moves. How too fix?

[@HomeRepairTutor]

Nic, they have new boxes with tabs that secure to the drywall. I'd recommend looking into one if your code allows it.

[@NumberOneDragon]

My wiring has three wires in addition to the ground wire....I'm out of ideas. The fixture is in the middle of the circuit which is making it more confusing. I can match black, white and ground to the correct location but what happens with the fourth wire?

[@staceylrogers]

+NumberOneDragon Do two separate switches go to the fixture?

[@madisonmarshall9704]

What do we do if all we have coming out from our wall is wires? (no box, just a wall with a small hole with wires coming out of it)

[@blackwolfgaming1975]

Madison Davis their should be timbers behind the plasterboard / dry wall to screw straight into :)

[@kevinbittman7255]

Where did you get that mounting bracket? I can't find a swivel crossbar with a locking screw anywhere. I need one of these for a home project.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

it came with the light but you can find one at a lighting store

[@Kube_Dog]

I just want to echo that. Yes, the things that you need are at the store.

[@ecgodsmack86]

What if my light fixture came with 1 bare ground and 2 black wires

[@Maxspeed7Dab]

for some reason my power source only has 2 wires

[@AFHUSC]

do you have any advice for the 'nut or collar' that screws on the ceramic screw to install the globe, or shade. We have managed to screw on all but 1. it seems the ceramic "screw" may have a cut in it and we cant seem to get the nut past that.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+Amy Fletcher no trick that I know of, I'd call the light company and request another screw. They'll probably send it to you for free

[@bardinkurtis]

my new fixture im installing doesnt have a back and white wire so how can i tell which wire goes to what? i mean which is hot and which is neutral on the fixture itself?? plz help

[@ps-yk8su]

Voltage tester?

[@staceylrogers]

Informative video, but the text with the black background blocks half the video. It makes it tough to see.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

+Stacey Rogers thanks. Videos now lack that text :)

[@ajcruzer92]

Okay so i did all of this and tested the new lights. Everything looks good, except that the light switch in my bathroom wont work. (i flip the switch up and down but nothing happens) the light stays on regardless. What do you think is the cause?

[@HomeRepairTutor]

So you have constant power going to the light? And didn't change out the switch?

[@ajcruzer92]

Yes, exactly.

[@HomeRepairTutor]

I know this sounds nuts but there's a possibility the switch is broken. If you wired the new light exactly how it was before and the wires are solidly attached then it might not hurt changing out switch. Make sure to take a picture of the existing wiring setup before you remove the wires and always turn off the power. We recently had a switch go bad and that caused lights to flicker!!

[@xavariusquest4603]

ajcruzer92 Would be interested to know if you figured out the problem.

[@e.j.2578]

This is replacement, not installation. Not what I'm looking for. I only have wires.

[@ephesian2894]

Not so easy.. You did not show how one can squeeze his hand into they small globe to get the nut screwed up that hold the globe...PLEASE show that.

[@retroryan838]

Why did you replace it anyway? The old light looks fancy and looks high value. The new light has a sad color and looks tacky. People today don’t make sense anymore. I still have original and older lights throughout my house and they work fine. I hope this weird phase of new tacky things ends soon.

[@christiane.wurstjr.2266]

totally useless
