    There’s several of these instructional videos on UA-cam, and yours is absolutely the easiest to follow, for me. Thank you for posting this! I’ll be using it this week to replace all my CFLs.

    but you did not disconnect the power from the ballast that you eliminated, therefore there is voltage at the output and you only put them in the box without isolating them

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 3 місяці тому

      there’s absolutely no power in the ballast if you follow my instructions

    Sir, in most videos I see, they only use one red and one blue wire, but you are joining the two blues together and the two reds together. Can you explain why? Thx

    Good video that will live on for many years. I do suggest removing the ballast wires from the junction box, never good to have bare ends floating around in there. Also consider removing one of the blue and red wires as unnecessary. Again, excellent tutorial.

    @ltai0001 10 місяців тому

    Very clear but why did you connect 2 blue with white and 2 red with black. Why not just 1 blue and 1 red. What’s the extra wires doing ?

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 10 місяців тому

      just making it heavier gauge by combining the thinner wires together, it’s not necessary, only optional

    • @ltai0001
      @ltai0001 10 місяців тому

      I believe they are 18 AWG. In my case they are. Are they potentially a fire hazard when not doubled like the way you did?

  • @brioshah-ty2sl
    @brioshah-ty2sl Рік тому

    Instead of opening any cutting all the wires, why can't connect your LED lights white wire to 2 CFL blue wires and LED lights Black wire to 2 CFL red wires? Please advice.

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 Рік тому

      because the ballast will not allow the correct amount of power to go to the led light, the ballast is put there specifically for the cfl lights

      @@charlietv625 Thanks! I also tried with I said above (2 blue wires to LED's white wire and 2 red wires to LED's black wire) and you are correct, power was not enough and light blinked for a second and then went off. Thanks for posting this video and explaining all the steps in details. I successfully changed all my CFL lights to LED now and long due project is completed! Thanks once again!

    You dont have to turn the breaker off?

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 Рік тому

      I don't, but if you feel safer doing so then please do it, the light switch acts like a breaker, it cuts off power when you switch it off, that's how your lights go on and off, but if you have children running around and you're afraid that they might accidently switch the light on while you're doing this procedure then you should definitely turn the breaker off

    Thanks so much. I just did three successful conversions. I really appreciate your self effacing humor about leaving your light in the ceiling. Being a DIY we all screw up and in retrospect it's often funny. And in being persistent we end up succeeding.

    Yes hello : yes, well, by changing your ceiling lights, there is a chandelier next to it with three cups ? When do you turn on the light ? I would like to know if the chandelier also turns on at the same time with your LED ceiling lights and when you turn off your ceiling lights does the chandelier also turn off ? I would like to know if the chandelier also goes out at the same time as the new ceiling lights please thank you. So, well would it be nice to re-shoot the video to show it to me please ? Thanks.

    • @charlietv625
      @charlietv625 Рік тому

      the chandelier is on a different light switch, it’s completely independent of the recessed LED lights

      Hello, well okay. The candlesticks walk apart??? And then I would like to know why do you change the old ceiling lights recessed by LEDs??? And then the ceiling lamps compact fluorescent bulbs and the compact fluorescent bulbs are we still making them??? See you soon.
