We Used a CHAINSAW to Install NEW LIGHTS

Hey Gang. First, we want to disclaim this video by saying you DO NOT need a pole saw to install these lights. They are extremely user friendly! But as you guys know, real world isn't perfect, and sometimes you have to adapt to a situation! We had a lot of fun on this one and want to thank Cooper Lighting for partnering with us. Thanks for the support and we'll see ya in the next one.

TIP: when you use the screwdriver to put a small locator hole in the ceiling use that swivel driver that you use on the plates. You can easily spin it sideways to feel for the joists of obstructions. It keeps the hole small. Good thought process in the lighting layout. Nice install!

Since I've actually had to cut boards with one of those pole saws, I about lost it when you pulled that out to get the job done lol.. That's a real contractor being resourceful and getting the job done..

[@SikSensei]

From Louisiana here, MUCH Respect for the Attic work right now!!! Its CRAZY HOT Lately!

[@StudPack]

Say that again! 🥵🥵

[@joeh4408]

Stud Pack is like a modern version of This Old House but not so modern that it's over produced. Just the perfect balance to get my nostalgia fix.

[@TexasTimelapse]

I can personally vouch for Cooper lighting. I've installed dozens of their fixtures. My favorite things about them is selectable light color (customer loves it too) and easy installation.

[@StudPack]

They're awesome! We've been using their stuff for years! So partnering with them is super exciting for us

[@tomcarrington572]

with regards to your better hole cutting tool, most any competent machinist should be able to make the bits that you need. I suspect they were carbide, as they would be far less susceptible to wear from the drywall and breaking when it strikes a beam. A tool steel answer would probably be pretty good, just requiring some honing from time to time. Hopefully you found the real source. Great video and probably the best promotion of a lighting product of its kind.

[@madmodifier]

I think the are High Speed Steel (HSS) not carbide. 1/4" or 3/8" HSS sharpen on a bench grinder to the needed shape. It is basically a trepanning tool for sheetrock.

[@redrollins8346]

We haven't used a can style recessed light in years. The flat LED style makes worrying about rafters obsolete. They're only 1/2" thick and can clear rafters 95% of the time.

[@lauralee2248]

Hilariously resourceful!! Perfect out come for not having your skillsaw or reciprocating saw available... you two are so witty and funny while getting a fantastic result, I always look forward to your next creative endeavor!!

[@jessicahites871]

So much brighter!! Fantastic work guys!!

[@texasqueso5506]

Hey guys! Love the videos! Here’s an extra tip when you poke the hole in the drywall to check if you’re clear. Take any wire the size of the hole you punch with the screw driver, and bend it into a 90 degree elbow. Make sure the wire is slightly longer than the radius of the light, and stick that end up through the hole. Take the remaining side and twist the wire around 360 degrees. If there’s something in the way, the wire in the attic will hit that object and let you know where it is. May save a trip up in the attic!

[@skipduld3630]

I LIKE THAT WHERE U CAN ADJUST THE ANGLE. HALO LIGHTING LOOKS REALLY GREAT

[@jenniferade3918]

I am all about symmetry and love how much detail you put into laying out these lights! Paul, I gotta say, I love watching your videos and how well you explain and educate viewers. You make a great teacher! Now Jordan just needs to do more work😉

[@T.E.P.]

here ya go guys!!!! this channel is blowin' up and very happy and excited for you guys!!!!!!!!

[@borys444]

Hell yeah!!! This was a great video. Jordan kicking ass on drilling those holes. Get’em boys!!!

[@StudPack]

Thx Nicholas 👊

[@SpringRubber]

I was already a subscriber but happened to be on the Cooper Lighting website researching some Halo fixtures and saw a link to this video. Great job, guys, all around! fyi to anyone looking at Halo fixtures for residential -- I've bought a few different canless versions for my home and the least expensive model didn't come with the integrated NM cable clamps mounted on the box as shown in this vid. So I needed to use the knockouts and supply my own clamps. Also, that particular model I bought came with wire nuts, not the push-in connectors. Sorta minor, I know, but might help some DIYer understand what they're getting.

[@jimfavata9718]

You guys are absolutely amazing! Great Father & Son Team Happy Father's Day Paul!

[@StudPack]

Thx Jim 👍💪

[@clemsontastic]

Hey, here's an interesting tip for ya. I work at an HVAC company that focuses a lot on air quality and air flow throughout the home. One of the biggest heat and AC losses comes from those holes in the ceiling for lights. If you seal them by caulking or with closed cell foam, it will save the home owner a lot in lowered energy bills. Another big one is the holes you cut in top and bottom plates for electrical wiring. It basically creates an airflow stack effect that shoots a bunch of heat out through your attic in the winter, or allows a lot of heat to come into the house in the summer from the attic. Anyway, I love the level of craftsmanship you strive for, and thought you might appreciate this. Also, I live in Washington right near where you worked on your future son-in-law's home :)

[@StudPack]

Awesome thx Jack 👍💪

[@mikez4132]

Great as always. You know its a good channel when I watch you do what I do all the time and still enjoy it. Never boring, never outlandish. Just good and smart.

[@JUDDLILIHA]

LOVE IT GUYS... THANKS FOR THE SHOW

[@hobtink]

I really like those Cooper Lighting Halo light packs! I’m 65 now, don’t know how much more mid summer attic work I have in me(respiratory and cardiovascular issues), but I’ve done my share of DIY electrical, HVAC, etc. I usually will place a box fan in the attic opening to either pull or blow cooler(ha when it’s 100 outside and 130+ in the attic it’s still cooler air) through the attic space. A dry clean dust brush, paint brush or even a soft bristle broom sweep will fill the drywall dust halo around where the less expensive cutter left the mess. If you still have at least one complete cutter for the better drywall circular cutting rig stop by a couple of local welding and machine shops to see how much they’ll charge to make you some extra cutter heads. Nice job. And, as for the pole saw, sometimes you just gotta do what you have to do thought I was a bit concerned on one of the cuts shown where the chain saw blade was so close to your Romex. You would have been sick and aggravated with yourself had you cut it.

[@StudPack]

Good tips thx Mitch 👊

[@HardHeadMilitary]

The wafer can lights are nice, i prefer the ones with the batwing attachment to the rock…. None the less, they have made remodels so much better than old work can lights

[@htownblue11]

Paul, for a recessed light I’ve used a very cheap long screw driver which I bent at a 90 degree with a 4inch length…..insert into ceiling, push up with handle parallel to ceiling then push handle perpendicular to ceiling with the 4 inch 90 then running parallel to ceiling on back side of ceiling…..then and rotate 360 degrees and if you don’t hit anything you know you’re good to drill a 5 inch up to 8 inch hole etc. Great tutorial and better results. Talk about a “make it work” obstacle to be overcome……pole saw, hand saw, band saw, man saw, don’t matter y’all….cause StudPack gonna get the job done.

[@StudPack]

Great tip thx TJ 👍👊

My school was always recording me cause I was doing a huge project for them. Eventually i got wise and did all the hard stuff before they turned the cameras on

[@wm79198]

Good job on the lighting, and your explanation of where to locate cans. Im an electrician, mostly residential service work, and I have that conversation with customers a few times a week. Put the light where you need it!!! That’s what cans are meant for. Check out the Rack-a-tiers dust bowl for catching the dust.

I have an issue with Cooper Lighting. We installed 41 of their COB LED lamps and drivers. Ten years later they are beginning to fail and the driver and LED's have been discontinued and I cannot for the life of me find a replacement that will work. Neither Platt nor GraybaR could find anything other than residential model LED's that can't be fitted with flexible conduit. I'm glad they comped you the lights which appear of good quality. Thanks for the great channel Paul.

[@StudPack]

Thx David. F1 engines were tested in Mississippi just north of I-10 at Stennis Space Center. The I-10 bridge over the Pearl River is so high so that the barges carrying the F-1s could get under it 😳

[@detroitbob58]

Go to Amazon (of course) put in drywall hole cutter and 15 or more cutters come up. Many are built just like yours with a bearing sleeve in the plastic cover. Priced from $19 to $100. Most with replacement blades available.

[@astikennel]

Three words: Radiant Barrier Foil - makes a world of difference and would be so easy-peasy on that attic! Another great video in da can LOL!

[@StudPack]

Thx Cathie👍

[@toddosty]

Yes, 3000k for lights! Too many people set these lights to 4000k+ and it makes everything look awful. 3000k is a good compromise between daylight and soft white.

[@tedlahm5740]

2400K. Guy still.

[@mr.g937]

I used to be in the 3000k club, but now I'm in the 2700k club. Warmer colors make houses look more inviting, more comfortable, and just all-around better.

[@toddosty]

@@mr.g937 I've been in the 2700k club for a while, but remodeling my kitchen to a white/grey color scheme made 3000k work much better. Still, when I can't get 3000k (like Philips Edison-style bulbs for my island pendants), I'll choose 2700k over 4000k any day. Even better, white-tunable smart bulbs that can automatically adjust from 2000K to 6500k.

[@joebinion1]

WOW another great video I love how you think outside of the box that's how it goes in construction I have been there many times myself i get so excited when I see that you have another video out keep up the great work and as always GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 GUYS

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Measure the cutter bits for that thing and post them up. I have some tool steel from a lathe I had sitting in a drawer. If I have some that is the same size, then I'll send them to you. Fifteen minutes in front of a bench grinder with the old one as a sample should net you a usable bit.

[@twolfe4295]

good stuff BTW milwaukee makes a mini chain saw...you might need it next time

[@rsmith7292]

Great Video! Seems like whatever tool or fastener you think you won't need (and leave at home or on another job site) is the one you will need! I've used a pencil through the loop (on the little spring on the housing) to install the can light moulding.

[@y00h0011]

Lighting lay-outs for recessed cans could be such a pain in the ass. Wafers make installs 1000% nicer. Not only in ease of lay-outs,but, you can often wire without crawling all through the attic. The world of LED makes concerns about lighting loads a minimum now days. Paul.. another great vid on general lighting and so glad that you took the time to emphasize terminology such as IC and AT ratings. Looking forwars to when you outline CRI and how the the Kelvin scale applies to paint scheming and tints.

[@StudPack]

Thx 👊💪

[@hanksnowden5288]

[@StudPack]

Thx Mark 👍👊

[@kelstra1997]

As you suggest, proper layout is critical and obviously time well spent. Having said that, it always seems that the perfect position for a fitting corresponds with a ceiling joist. Battens can be worked around but not so easy for joists.

[@johnhastings1874]

You guys are amazing! Thanks again.

[@ValdoxGaming]

Get a lil bit of steel / wire like a brick tie bend it into an L shape, stick it up in the center hole and spin it around also push it up and spin it around. I would easily install atleast 100 a week using this method.

[@StudPack]

👍👊

[@numbnut5]

You can save time going into the ceiling/attic by bending a piece of wire to the size of half the diameter (radius) of your hole saw and then poke that into your hole and twist it around while moving it up and down to see if it hits any noggins/beams/trusses

[@javiergalvan242]

[@einfussganger]

Love the Halo lights - such a well-engineered product. Question: after my contractor left, I went to adjust the color temp on the lights to a warmer setting. I found one box loose just sitting on the ceiling drywall (there's a second floor above, so no insulation). Is that a concern? They don't seem to run hot and it would be a PITA to try to attach it to the joist througha 4" hole.

[@dereksellars]

Another Great video !!! I do stuff like this on the side from my regular job and I just love watching you guys !! Thanks !! It is relaxing to watch :):):) Thanks again :):):)

[@nhbilly]

I love these easy installed lights. I agree with you usability versus aesthetic and the balance between them. Be nice just to have a vacuum to suck up the dust too otherwise it will set off the smoke detectors. Don't ask me how I know.

[@1packatak]

I wish you would have done the recessed light setup in my kitchen☹️. Brand new build last year. And all the can lights are set so far back that they basically just light up the tops of my cabinets. Thank goodness I have under cabinet lights.

It looks like it might be Amartisan Hole Cutter is the brand of ceiling hole cutter. the set is $64 on Amazon.$10 for set of replacement blades.

There are lighting softwares or the manufacture could help with fixture selections regarding mounting height, spacing, accent, task or general, comfort level, color, etc. Some of the track lighting are out of sight, the one with two wire catenary hanging fixtures for night clubs or high end homes. Custom lighting paired with an interior designer is like walking into a different world ready for parties or just relaxing.
