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. 💯
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!!
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
dude ! these videos are so helpful... theres lots of vids on UA-cam and i watch youtube religiously... but you have nailed down explaining it ! thank you
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
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
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.
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.
So if my living room and porch lights share the same switch- I would need to get two switches. I would have two neutrals, 2 grounds and 2 hots. I would connect the 3 wires to each switch. How do I know which cord I would need? Just a 14/2 because of the two switches?
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
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.
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?
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!
Me too lol
Soooo informative and clear. Thank you dad 🤘🏽
The man has an "air compressor room". This man is my kind of man.
My air compressor is in my shop bathroom . . . .a good compromise.
Thank you very much for explaining how the electricity flows. This video actually makes sense and explains how wiring a switch works.
Thank you for this, spent ages looking for this exact tutorial. Too many others were just showing and end of run or middle of run and that’s it.
Helpful - I wired my shed using this information. Did a test on it before I put it through the actual breaker downstairs, yeah, everything works!
I wish I have more than one like button .Respect

I did Electrical Engineering back then and never had anything like this. This is better than 4 year of my schooling 😅
Electrical engineering and residential electric are COMPLETELY different.

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

I really appreciate the simple visual example, your video was alot easier to understand, thank you so much!
Thank you for this explanation. Really helped me with wiring my cabin! I appreciate your help!
dude ! these videos are so helpful... theres lots of vids on UA-cam and i watch youtube religiously... but you have nailed down explaining it ! thank you
Very cool, very clear for e- beginner. Thanks
God bless you man. You're a lifesaver.

Nice video many thanks
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.
Very much appreciated im researching how to wire up my garage and this helps.

Thanks for this video, man! Explained pretty straight forward, very helpful (:
This video helped a lot! Currently going through my Electrical Pre-Apprenticeship Thank you!
Absolutely love this channel!! I’ve learned so much! Really feeling confident to start tackling things around the house.
Bro- you showed everything but the one thing I needed! Where the wires go on the light housing!
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.
Gotta remember to install it in this order
Ground , neutral, hot
I have been looking for this explanation. . .thank you
Good video it helped me a lot
Excellent information
Simplified , Great Job!
Great job explaining. New subscriber
Really good explanaanktion on wiring. Best I've seen. Thank you!!
It would have been nice to see what you did with the lights.
I have a few electrical videos that you can select in the description of the video.
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?
never mind, I just found your ceiling fan install!

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.
So if my living room and porch lights share the same switch- I would need to get two switches. I would have two neutrals, 2 grounds and 2 hots. I would connect the 3 wires to each switch. How do I know which cord I would need? Just a 14/2 because of the two switches?

Switch not sword
