  • No earth-shaking content here. I just decided to share the in-process photos I took while adapting and installing some LED light fixtures, replacing a single naked incandescent light bulb (plus the lights in the garage door opener). Maybe something I show here will be of use to somebody.

    Nice garage you have, it is hard to use the metallic conduit, here we often use green plastic conduit or orange flexible conduit also plastic, congrats nice Job..!!

      egyrmexia1, where is "here"?
      Lots of places in "America" (meaning the United States) allow plastic cased AC "Mains" wiring in residential structures; it is often given names such as "Romex".
      But in the Greater "Chicagoland" area, it is common for municipalities to require that all mains power (permanent installations) be encased in steel, either conduit or flexible steel jacket ("BX", etc) [ALSO there is a local-regional requirement for the drinking water supply to be in copper pipe rather than PVC or other plastic pipe]. In my garage wiring shown in this video, I probably violated local electrical codes by using such long runs of BX in an accessible area where regular conduit could have been used. A few decades ago I would have bent conduit, or used straight sections plus elbows, but these days it was all I could manage to spend a few hours standing on a ladder installing it the way I did....regular conduit would have at least doubled the effort and time. It won't be a problem unless an inspector looks at it, which I don't foresee happening.

      @@youtuuba I'm at México, southeast but every were in Mexico in all residential electric installations, plastic conduit is allowed, but not at industrial electric installation..
      A lot of efforts are required to use metallic conduit, also it is expensive..

      Kfrierson, from the way you wrote your comment, I can't tell if you are complementing me on my garage or saying your next project is to organize your own garage.
      In the photos in my video here, my garage does not look very organized, because I dragged a lot of things around to make room for my ladder, so the place is something of a mess.

      Sorry about the misunderstanding...I was complementing on your garage...I also watch a lot your tech videos and was amazed of all the meters and scopes you have...You are a very good explaining the topic you are talking about. Hope this makes sense.
