Light Circuit Installation Explained | Wiring Lights in Metal Garage

Light circuits in the home are explained using depictions and visual aids using real Romex wire, breakers, switches and lights. I wire the light fixtures in my metal garage office and air compressor room.

The man has an "air compressor room". This man is my kind of man.

You should be a teacher in 2 minutes and 49 seconds of this video you explained to me what I couldn't understand in over 20 years of trying to understand electricity you are on point so far with this video and I appreciate this video very much because when my husband left me we were in the process of wiring the house and whatever he did s*** was blowing up in the backyard and catching on fire and I'm having to finish the wiring myself now so you have no idea how much your video has helped me just in the first 2 minutes of it thank you so much you took something that was so difficult for everyone to explain to me and made it very simple for me to understand

[@antony49991]

The first 2 minutes everything clicked as to why everything is wired this way. The explanation that I didn't think I really needed. Like the below comment, you should be a teacher! Changed my way of thinking

[@erikahaley7914]

I have watched 30(ish) different videos on wiring a switch and yours was the only 1 that made actual sense of the whole process. Thank you!

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

oh my wow thank you soooo much for this video! I know how to hook up several lights to one switch, but for some reason my brain couldnt comprehend how to hook up multiple swtiches to multiple lights. Ive actually put off wiring my lights to make sure I understood it all first. This video is great!!

[@Evonito]

I've watched a few of your videos Brett and as a engineering student studying the electrical field I wana say thanks for the content, its great homework for me. 💯

[@TrackVibesJA]

I did Electrical Engineering back then and never had anything like this. This is better than 4 year of my schooling 😅

[@philgrey4893]

Brett - few people explain electricity / wiring basics better than you. I’m in the process of wiring my shop in TN. Thank you for the education and guidance. Phil

[@surumaantipas2376]

Love this practical staff. Tired of getting on with theories in classrooms. Great lesson sir.

[@thistles]

The video I’ve been waiting for, even though I didn’t know I was waiting for it ❤ thank you! I now have the confidence to wire my house.

[@vickreyc]

dude ! these videos are so helpful... theres lots of vids on KZbin and i watch youtube religiously... but you have nailed down explaining it ! thank you

[@harinat]

I wish I have more than one like button .Respect

[@DA-qj1ib]

Absolutely love this channel!! I’ve learned so much! Really feeling confident to start tackling things around the house.

[@chasgrabs6757]

This video helped a lot! Currently going through my Electrical Pre-Apprenticeship Thank you!

[@bamaverick8740]

Simplified , Great Job!

[@yeshuadvargas5552]

God bless you man. You're a lifesaver.

[@richardsongreat8209]

Very cool, very clear for e- beginner. Thanks

[@dilshersingh9220]

Excellent information

[@edwinobando320]

Good video it helped me a lot

[@bwhite1234]

Great job explaining. New subscriber

[@stevenmyers1289]

Bro- you showed everything but the one thing I needed! Where the wires go on the light housing!

[@brettleybuilt]

There should be a ground screw or a green pigtail attached to the light housing. Attach the ground wire of the light to either one available, and then connect your hot and neutral wires to the lights hot and neutral wires.

[@deluxxe8753]

Gotta remember to install it in this order Ground , neutral, hot

[@alexishigdon8465]

Really good explanaanktion on wiring. Best I've seen. Thank you!!

[@vanstromi7810]

It would have been nice to see what you did with the lights.

[@brettleybuilt]

I have a few electrical videos that you can select in the description of the video.

[@user-zw7zd6ew3h]

Thank you for this great video. I have a question, I know it is ac voltage and it keeps changing polarity ( sin signal), but I am still stressed about when it is to wire a light fixture let's say, some light fixtures like LED lights, doesn't show which one connects to hot (black) and which one to neutral (white). Would you please explain if it is matters or not whether flipping the hot with neutral.

[@brettleybuilt]

There should be some type of indicator on the wires. Some wires have writing or a line on them to differentiate which wire is which.

[@jessiemartinez7681]

question: is installing a fan with a light the same concept? Also, can you use the same gauge of wire and amp breaker as you use with lights?

[@jessiemartinez7681]

never mind, I just found your ceiling fan install!

[@henny1387]

hello Brett love your videos brother very helpful however I am very confused about wiring the first switch in the diagram you showed 3 different romex wire and you showed black and netural getting pigtaled with 3 different wires but when you wired the switch there were only 2 black and 2 netural wires no pig tale

[@brettleybuilt]

I watched the video trying to find the exact spot you are talking about. Where in the video did you see this? I definitely want to make sure I understand what you are asking so I can verify everything for you.

[@user-mr9sj1do4h]

I have a question that bothers me. Do we have to hook the ground wire to the switch box each time before joining them to a sword putting them in a pigtail to tie them together?

[@user-mr9sj1do4h]

Switch not sword
