I've completed projects that I previously would never have attempted with the help of these videos. The instructions are simplified and easy to understand. In the last month, I have taken a bare storage room, and constructed a wall, drywalled, mudded, hung a door, put down laminate flooring, baseboard and casing, put up a suspended ceiling, and wired in lighting. Every step followed Shannon's instructions. It turned out great. Thank you.
Welcome to the world where you need to be self sufficient. This used to be common for people until they got weak
This is the best electrical (basic wiring) video I have seen for wiring lights. Your mock setup should leave even an electricity novice with no questions. Every wiring video should be this detailed.
I am in the process of changing my kitchen lights right above kitchen sink with two recessed lights. Your video is of "how to" is exactly what i need to do the job. Thank you Sir for your video, simple explanation and easy to understand.
Thank you, you saved me a small fortune on drywall repair, I was very close to opening the wall.
Thanks Shannon for taking the time to do your videos correctly (ie. producing the video). Makes a HUGE difference for those watching/learning from your videos. Great job.
Shannon, I've been a subscriber for 10 years. I can't thank you enough for all the information you've provided. Awesome channel.
You are so welcome!
The wall example with boxes and lights were a clear, to the point demonstration. Good Job.
This guy is the greatest teacher! Every lesson, electrical, woodworking, etc is perfect! Always easy to understand but still getting the important aspects of the trade or skill. Thanks Shannon
You are assessing this from a position of ignorance. Only qualified people can comment on the correctness of what he is showing. You are not that person. BTW, the ground on newly installed switches must be connected if the junction box is non-metallic, which is usually the case in residential. NEC 404.9(B) You're welcome.
@@DiffEQeasy to critique from the stands.. make a video
Thank you Shannon,
You helped me fix a wiring problem I've had for years. I'm glad you showed how to wire in both directions.
Are great you are great teacher man I got more in style and trying to watch a film that stuff and you've been lonely wanted and showed it when you talked around through the right way Man thumbs up
Great tutorial! wanted to learn more about the uses of 14-3 and this was a perfect example. Thank you.
This should be the tutorial on how to make an instruction video. thank you for making it clear and concise.
By far the best presented and explained demonstration I've viewed on this.
Thank you
Nice work. Great explanation. Now I finally understand why there might be 3 wires in a wire bundle and the use of the red wire.
I been asking several individuals including two electricians what is wrong with my switch. I explained that I only have one Romax 14/2 Running to the switch, how do I make it work? Then this video understood me, the second example is what I was attempting to do and all I needed was to run a 14/3 to the switch. Thank you so much 😊
This was spot on...had "help" taking down old lights and had to figure out how to re-wire the mess they made
Great video! I live in a older home with very few light switches and receptacles and have been really needing to add more switches. I think I can do it myself now and save some money!
Your explanation was very clear and concise and now my kids have extra lights in the basement so they can see! Thank you for this!
Thank you Shannon; I've watched this video over and over and you are indeed the best teacher!
This is one of the better electrical videos I've seen. Clear and concise, very well explained throughout and, for me at least, the use of an instructional or 'example' board really brings home the instruction (I'm more of a visual learner). Thanks and kudos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Helped me solve my "smart switch" to "dumb switch" wiring issue! Smart switches usually require the neutral wire, so I couldn't figure out what to do with it as it tripped the breaker. Dumb switches apparently do not need that wire . Thanks!
Thank you very much. Simple, precise and clear. Just what I needed after searching through numerous other videos.
Thank you for taking the time to post such a helpful video. You explain and show everything in a way that anyone should be able to understand and follow. This goes for most all of your videos that I have seen. You Rock!
Shannon is the man!!!
Now I understand when I need to use a 14 / 3 or a 14/2 wire prong...thank you
Shannon, thank you for your thorough explanations. you helped me solve an electrical issue that had me banging my head up against a wall. Can't thank you enough.
Good video. Electricity still scares the hell out of me, but your explanation is very easy to follow.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CONNECTIONS.
STEP BY STEP,ONE AT A TIME.
WE FEAR WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW. GATHER AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU CAN.YOU'LL BE FINE!
This video is way simple then others thank you
Everyone else made this so confusing, SMH, I just needed to refresh my memory, just to be safe. Thank you si much for your videos.
What a good video. I wasn’t aware the 2 blacks had to go on the switch. I assumed the white and black had to go to the switch and so on
Just learning the basics and I appreciate the instructions.
Hi Shannon, thank you for the vid, well explained as I am getting ready to do some electrical work, have a good day!
Thanks again, excellent instructions. Wiring my shed,just finished installing 3 windows via your video. They are level and look great
you're awesome dude! you just saved me hundreds with this video. God bless you.
thank you for your clear & detailed explanations. I used them to setup my workshop lights. This was my first attempt & can't be happier with the outcome. thanks again.
best so far for wiring, just did a home rewiring for the exterior lamps
Helped me a lot today with a new light and switch install on a remodel! Thank you, you are very skilled!
This was fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to do this video!!
Awesome,
I was always asking my self, what about if the switch is in the opposite side,
Thank you so much again, younare the man
Another great video. I watch a lot of your videos and I find them easy to follow. Thank you!
The best video hands down
thanks you showed me what i needed to know it really help out now i have a safe place to work and i can what i am doing
Thank you for making this video, just helped me out a ton .bless you
Very informational videos. Does a great job and explains very well step by step. Definitely the best how to instructor
Learning a lot from you keep up the good work
I have a bathroom with two light fixtures and a single switch and one of the lights stopped working after the switch got replaced. I'm betting that the switch didn't get wired properly when it was installed. At least I know what to look for now. Thank you for posting this video.
This is the only thing that helped me. Thank you very much.
You are very good at explaining and teaching. You should have a Udemy course on this stuff! I'd take it. Thank you for putting this on youtube.
Thanks for the video. I'm adding some switched outlets to my storage shed to run some florescent lights and I forgot to run pigtails to ground the boxes. I have the outlets grounded, just not to the boxes. Keep up the great job!!
Great clean commentary
We’ll worded
Yo this was really good for me as far as refining what I know. Thanks a lot for the lesson
Thanks, I have several books on wiring, but none showed the bottom circuit I needed.
Great vid. Helped a lot. Nice and simple. Thanks.
Canadian Tire cabinet lol. You just saved me a lot of work
Great video! Just an addition 14/2 is for 15 amp circuits which are pretty standard in the US, but 20 amp is also pretty common which would require 12/2. Make sure you know the amperage of the circuit you are working for (typically listed on the breaker that’s powering it) and what wire gauge/type is required.
Yes absolutely, you generally would not use 20 amp for a lighting circuit but it could be that way.
You do a great job explaining
I appreciate that!
i have learned a lot from you and your videos always easy to understand.
Great job my friend, thank you for sharing, keep safe
A Great Video. Thank you for explaining the two different light setup's very clearly.
Amazing, Information and visual is very helpful, thank you very much
Thanks to you I did my install thank you god bless you
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to do this. You make it all look so easy!
Thank you. You just saved me a few hundred dollars.
You are welcome!
Awesome video, simple and to the point. Good jobs..
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I took an electrical class in the past, and the instructor used boards like what you have here. He has since passed, but I have fond memories of going through the boards to truly understand the hows and whys of electrical. Today I was replacing a switch that had a mystery set of wires coming into the box, and thanks to you, I was able to figure out which black wire was coming in and that one of the outgoing wires was going to a box that had been disabled years ago. I really appreciate that you put this out there...this was the refresher I needed. Thank you so much!
you need your own show on HGTV!
Best video I have found, thanks.
Best explanation thank you for the video
Dude you have taught me so much, thank you
Great video man thank you for sharing
This is a good video. I'm not certain of why the red wire would be necessary in the bottom example. However, it looks like it is needed so the black and white wires in each box can be tapped into to power other things.
Great explanation, thanks.
Thanks for this awesome video!
Outstanding - thank you!
easy to understand, thanks
finally a great tutorial....thanks...
In my area, when running the line to the light and then to the switch, 2-wire is used, with the incoming black connected to the white (of the line that runs to the switch) and then the power coming back to the light via the black. So what this means is that the white that runs from the light to the switch is in fact hot.
You sir, have made my day.
This makes sense. Did this 25 years ago for a light switch that controls marker lights in my shop...had forgotten how I did it. Just went and looked. I'd done exactly what you're talking about but in bx, 14/2. Guess I could have tagged the neutral with black tape up in the junction box...but it's easy to follow and I'm not an elastician!
Great examples ... thank-you for your efforts
Great video thanks a lot, very helpful, definitely a life saver
thank you brother! you helped me tremendously!
So simple!!! A fuse went out on me because i wired it wrong. after seeing your video it looks soo simple😂 rematch tomorrow with that fkn switch😂
Thanks for such great video
Always good to have a simple refresher, thx!
Love

Uusucx,
Great video, thank you!
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks! I need help trying to figure out a "no power situation" to switches. Here's the scenario: In the same circuit, all of the outlets have power and good wired-connections, but none the light/fan switches have power. No GFCI outlet fault or tripped circuit breaker.
Please post in my forum and we can help you from there easier. www.house-improvements.com/forums/
Love your videos.
Just wanted to thank you for all of your videos. I built a barn this past summer, and I consulted your videos quite a bit. I really appreciate what you do.
This guy rocks!!!
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks! I need help trying to figure out a "no power situation" to switches. Here's the scenario: In the same circuit, all of the outlets have good wired-connections & have power, but most of the light/fan switches are not due to no power. No GFCI outlet fault or tripped circuit breaker.
One small comment, The lower center bulb should be a red wire not black, no big deal, also some of the wire nuts dont have a twist like the others - Good video.
Best instructions. Thank you sir.
I like how shannon explains everything in detail and makes it easy to understand. Even like watching the videos when i already know how to do something, but I will say he has taught me alot too.
I've viewed many videos and you are the best by far. thanks so much for your help.
Totally agree!
You done a great job on this video,very helpful , thank you very much.
Wonderful video
Thanks for the detailed tutorials - you're awesome!
I can't watch any other DIY videos besides this channel anymore since the people never talk enough about what they're doing. You rock these. More electrical videos please! Install grounded receptacle where there is no ground, timer switch, dimmer switch, install 2 gang box,
good suggestions, thanks
Thank you sir!
great work as usual!
Great way to explain it..
Glad you think so!
Really good teacher. Thank you!
