Kyle. Watching you and Greg work together is a joy. The camaraderie you two share is enviable! Love the channel. Merry Christmas to you, Greg and your families!

[@ronlovell5374]

With the driver boxes on the lights, many people make the mistake of mounting them. Best practice is just run wires to locations where holes will be cut leaving slack, after finishes are applied, cut holes remove wires, install drivers, and just shove them up into the hole before connecting and installing the lights. This makes the connections fully accessible. Also add, push in style connectors are notorious for going bad and causing issues. I usually throw em in the trash and use wire nuts. You be surprised the number of service calls I get, at least 9 out of 10 for this style light from people using the poorly manufactured supplied push-in connectors.

BRING BACK TOOLSDAY!!!! Please. Awesome channel!

[@jeffreyevans2947]

I have installed hundreds of those LED fixtures. They work great but some do fail and you need to rep[lace the driver unit. We would always leave a 18" loop at the driver and loosely fasten it so it could be brought down through the hole for replacement. Just something to think about because i do not see any service loop at your driver units.

[@Ty1on3twelve]

Good suggestion.

[@MikeKow80]

They suck, just say it. Definitely want to keep them loose. Been there, done that. Buy and store a few extra of that light too cause they damn sure won't sell the same light or driver when one goes bad.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

Wago wire connectors are awesome. It does matter which ones you use, so I understand how someone might question their ability to stand up to the amperes, but in Oklahoma, almost all lighting fixtures come with the Wago wire connectors and some inspectors will not pass an inspection if they are removed and replaced with wire nuts and that is a fact! The fixture came with them and you better use them! Personally, I like using them! Really, they provide a more secure make up than a wire nut! It's those lose neutral connections in light fixtures that are responsible for new homes burning down! That's a fact! Lose a neutral from the panel to a receptacle that has electronics plugged into it and watch it burn up the electronics also! Make sure you connections are all good, Kyle!

[@ronlovell5374]

I don't think they were Wagos, looked like cheap push-in connectors, maybe the ones came supplied with the light. That's why they had an issue with one being loose. 1:09:53

[@jeffshipman2656]

100% agree with the discussion on the jack-shaft type garage door openers. I have some regret using that type on my garage doors, as they still hang down 4-ish inches below the upper frame/trim work. Wish I would have come across some kind of discussion of that disadvantage before I bought them.

[@paulglass6840]

Love watching your channel. I know you don’t get into electrical that often but you would love the Milwaukee romex stapler. Model # 2448-20. Saves so much time and is great for tight spots! Try it out!

[@ronbelldvm]

Enjoyed the video. Took a couple days to watch it, though, 20-30 min at a time. Looking forward to seeing more progress on the shop.

[@mattatkinson9096]

if you ever have to replace a burnt out driver you will have to cut into your ceiling. you should leave the boxes loose so they can be pulled out of the ceiling through the pot light hole. much better to run your wire long and wire up the boxes later.

[@N9OE]

I agree. It not if they fail, it's when they fail. The drive is just an AC to DC converter/power supply. They all go bad eventually. Just like a phone charger does.

[@stuartstephens]

When you locate a receptacle for that 4000" TV, don't forget to include a box for the signal connection too. 🙂

[@seandever2289]

Kyle, don’t mount your puck light boxes! When they fail, it will require Sheetrock work. Just leave loop of wire up there at each hole. And Wago work just fine.

[@garydevine7787]

Where I live, CA, the electrocal code specifies that wall to outlet box is 18" between the floor and box.

[@tomp538]

I see you added another box at the top of the stairs... good job! Electrical outlets are like Kopectate; better to have it and not need it; than to need it and not have it!

[@Overpar73]

Very nice guys!

[@benjaminpeters2518]

Kyle take a moment to think over your installation. I'm a retired electrician with 35 years of experience in the Electrical trade. The cover will be covered by the sheetrock, and there will be no way to open the cover plate. If you dropped the ceiling 6 inches and located the cover above the light cutout, you could access each of the connection boxes to fix any problems that will show up in the future. talk to an electrician before you cover or you will have problems in the future.

[@xoxo2008oxox]

And why metal boxes if not doing MC/BX? (I use WAGO connectors. I've had good luck but one time I was showing them off and forgot to close one of the neutrals all the way...my sparky still makes fun of me to this day!)

[@MaynardSchrinerJr]

I was going to say the same thing. Everything goes bad eventually and needs replaced. I think he should have ran the wire and left it where he needed. Drilled out for lights and then placed boxes so everything is serviceable. It looks like the way he has it you would need to cut out the drywall over the light box to get to it and repair or replace it.

[@brianpedersen3439]

totally agree with you, I am electrician in Denmark, and this installation is illegal here, every junction has to be accessible, and a driver has to be able to be replaced, wire nuts is also illegal here, we use wago all the time, and we allso don't use 5k light, 4k at commercial, and 3k or even 2700 in recidential, we like warm colors, and about 30-40 years ago we stopped using metal boxes..

[@zeepysea]

@@brianpedersen3439 the boxes will be illegal in the USA as well, can not bury junction boxes. Won't say nothing about wago/wire nuts as thats all personal opinion. As for the light color, put it on what the owner says or 4k if not stated.

[@EthanMatlack]

@@zeepyseaMaster electrician here. Burying the junctions for those wafers is legal in the US, although it’s a big part of the reason that I hate wafers. The rules regarding accessibility of junctions do not apply to the junction boxes of the wafer lights because that’s all one listed assembly.

I like how precisely you build all this stuff you are a really good carpenter, but as a european, i always smile when i see that everything is built from wood and how crappie even the better doors and windows are compared to our stuff.

[@JeffKeyeux]

You could have used pot light frames to ensure laser accuracy and then use a rotozip to cut out the holes. I've tried the "hide and seek" method only to learn resilient channel was placed over the hole then the hole saw tears into the channel popping drywall screws and sometimes causing the hole saw to rip the hole making an imperfect opening that is difficult to repair. I'm an electrical contractor and have found the frames to be the best option.

[@JeffKeyeux]

You can also clip your led "pucks" into the frames and use them for temporary lights removing them one by one when you need to install the drywall then back up to provide light for taping sanding and painting. You can hang the pucks on the tips of their clips to keep them off the ceiling.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

there's nothing wrong with the Wago wire connectors; the installer just needs to pay attention and make sure the wire is pushed in all the way. Make sure they are all in completely, Kyle! It can be a source of overheating and cause an electrical fire! If you have the wire pushed into the connectors all the way, they are an excellent option for wire make up! Probably more secure than a wire nut that can easily have a wire not get twisted together into the make up! Just pay attention. I would hate to see a lose connection cause your new RR HQ 2.0 to burn down!
