if you make the frame smaller and your main board bigger you can add uplighting which will light up across your ceiling too so you can alternate lighting options
It is dangerous, there are nowhere near enough fixings in the ceiling. I've seen some very nasty accidents happen when inexperienced trades use the wrong fixings and too few of them. That light box could fall on a child's head.
Messenger Rising says the American. I guess we need some (union sponsored) laws to keep people from doing this themselves. Get the government involved, pay them to issue a permit before any diy projects are performed.
Zach B. is right !! !! Lets keep all aspects of our life in the hands of profiteers, and vicious, zelles controllers. I also want to add: " DON'T SEAT ON THE TOILET IF ITS INSTALLED BY YOURSELF but U can still watch it,... and wait for UNION and GOVERNMENT to come in and inspect those few bolts. Don't forget to PAY like $300 for the "inspection of Honorary Inspector and of course for Honorary Certificate!! ... until than go to McDONALD :))
Girl,wow,💪I'm so proud of you.i want something like this,it doesn't look too complicated but I know in my country they a going to charge me like I'm building a mansion🙆♀️.
All I have to say is that this lady is FIERCE! She is GIVING it to me. You better install that dropped light box and show the boys how it is done! Oh...and just to add I am being told it can't be done. I can't wait to show my builders that it can!
Anyone watching this please put more fixings in the ceiling. Those fixings are too small and there's nowhere near enough of them. Unless you want a big, heavy light box to fall on a child's head I suggest you ignore all advice from this inexperienced woman. Tradesman of 25 years here and director of a construction company.
Yeah I wild put a few more and probably bigger screws the few there don't look like they would hold much weight. What does hold a lot of weight though is my reputation of deadly roof ninja
@ unclassified Who says it's in a house? This could easily be in an apartment in a building somewhere on the 5th floor where concrete ceilings are standard. Hence the major reason why they don't fly into the air or crumble down when a hurricane passes by. Oh and here is some more knowledge for you: there is a big difference between concrete and cement. Use google to know what it is. Furthermore, there is a layer of plaster over the concrete, because not everyone likes the raw concrete look. Hence why she can protrude the tips of the screws into the ceiling. Even a 10 year old would have figured that one out. SMDH So, how does that burn feels like, wiseguy?
looks good in the end but this is not the right way. plastic anchors, not used any scrim tape to avoid cracks in future and etc. also you need to advise the people where exactly to put any screws because if the construction is fixed on plasterboard only it will colapse ;)
No need for scrim tape as the main board is medium and won't crack. The sealant between the medium board and the side plasterboard is acrylic and won't crack neither. The construction is less than 10kg and the screw plug can support more than 50kg each, the ceiling is not plasterboard as one can see at the beginning of the video the drilling is in bricks. not a chance of collapse.
It's clear to see your cable powering your down lights but I can't understand how you got a cable to your LEDs without punching a hole through the side walls of your box?
A little hatch was created on the side to put the transformer and connect the LED strip. Details at www.kinook.biz/howto-build-dropped-ceiling-light-box#astuces
5.21... little confused as to how screws going in ..i mean that it look like you drilling the screw into the metal frame sounds silly question but is it secure? Also what material are you using for the board? it look like mdmf? I ask as I have tried things like a 3.5 mm plywood and it always sags and bows. Also want to know if it mdmf as that is a pain to screw into. ALSO WHAT IS THE WIGHT OF THE METAL FRAME on average for something like you have done here thanks would appreciate a reply :)
I can’t imagine doing this on anything less than a 9’ ceiling. Judging by the height of the top of the closet door and curtains, the room appears to be a standard 8’ ceiling and the dropped box will make the space seem closed-in.
So glad that I found your video! Nicely done! Instructions are very clear and well documented along the way. I have a question. Did you add strip lights along the edge? Or is all of the light coming from the 4 recessed lights only? Again, nice job!
Are all ceilings strong enough to hold something like this? I know when mounting a tv to the wall you gotta look for the right place to drill behind the wall
I can’t imagine the structure of the new ceiling fixture weighing any more than 20 lbs. It’s only a few short pieces of metal stud, a small panel of Sheetrock, and those plastic connector things. So I think it’s safe to assume that a few drywall wall anchors (the plastic pieces she inserted into the ceiling at the beginning) would hold this up. Most wall anchors hold at least 10 lbs each, and it looks like she used at least 8. My biggest concern is that she had wire just dangling out of the ceiling. Electric wire, unless low voltage, needs to be run into and connected in a rated electrical box. Additionally, a box cannot be hidden behind drywall. An electric box in a wall or ceiling can only sit behind an appliance, such as a light fixture, switch, or receptacle (outlet). If the wire for the lighting is line voltage, this project is both a major national code violation and a fire hazard. However, If it’s only low voltage wire, it should be okay (unless her local building code says different).
@@matthewbaken7669in the UK we have wires which form the lighting circuit hanging from the ceiling at the point(s) where the light pendant or recessed downlights are to be fitted
thank you so much for sharing ! My kitchen has 3 fluorescent bulbs and if anyone could help with the electrical part I would greatly appreciate cz I want to start this project like....now! Thank you!
Hey, your video is fabulous. I am about to move into a new house and am planning to install something similar in my kitchen. Those plastic corner elements work amazing. Where do buy and what are they called? I definitely want them!! Thanks.
first I would like to thank you so so much....I was looking for lighting box for my room and I want to do it with my self although I'm zero experience in doing this . I watched your video and did the same with different materials as this metal structures and joints are not available here in Egypt. I would like to send you the pictures if you like and thank you at least for your brilliant ideas.
if you make the frame smaller and your main board bigger you can add uplighting which will light up across your ceiling too so you can alternate lighting options
I think she would have to lay another cable for this
girl DIY-ing like a boss!

Maybe they are just worried the time that it takes to give a pro finish and strength.

Because you want that lighting in your room/house? xD

Following your instructions will uelo me save thousand of cash
Or you can simply use 4x2. I have built a few of these bespoke to fit over kitchen workshops and and to house extractor fans.
Need to use a stud finder to nail into 2x8s. hate that plastic hangers.
I'm sexist... because as a man, to see a woman do this gives me more confidence. Just like leg training...
Congratulations, video not made with still pictures. Specific instructions. Keep up the good work.
"the dust will gather inside the plastic"
*proceeds to drill, dust falls out*
^_^
Awesome I was looking to do something a little different for a homeowner !! perfect
That looks amazing! Great job!
So right off the bat, Why wouldn't you use a stud finder to locate the joists? You don't need anchors if you go into wood.
this is diy. They don't go after efficiency
Pretty sure that guy meant it as a joke, man.
Looks as if I the comment that I responded to was deleted.
To be sure proof you should screw the metallic studs into ceiling studs.
I literally yelled out load nooooo! When I saw her drilling into ceiling drywall 🤣
Like sheep Rock brackets are going to hold it up there {^-^} LoL..
Your instructions are so clear
Nice work! Where did you get the cube blocks. I am in Canada
not showing a shot of the position of the LED strip is criminal
she can drop my ceiling light box any day

silly chops Watch out for falling light boxes :-)

+silly chops 😃
Yep. Either that or use a stud finder and secure to solid wood.......
Plastic anchors in the dry wall ceiling to secure the light box? How optimistic!
That was a concrete ceiling by the noise and dust made. Good point however.
A lot of Asian countries do because termites and ants love wood.

you dont need the blocks, you can make the frame with metal alone

Wow I like your skill
nice tip for the dust ! especially drilling into a ceiling!
+AdrianJayeOnline except that you can see the dust just falling out through the drill hole & being scattered by the drill.
+Drew Almy you won't stop it all, but I liked that tip nonetheless

material is MDF (10mm) and yes the screw drills directly into the stud, that's the way dry wall are built
A great job but for safty just use glove and eye glass
Birr yelecghim endalgeza.
And secure it to a joist.........
wonderful job, it's very nice, it gives me an idea.
Thank you so very much
what is the name of purple box?cant really catch the word.also should show the attaching the LED on the video
I can’t imagine doing this on anything less than a 9’ ceiling. Judging by the height of the top of the closet door and curtains, the room appears to be a standard 8’ ceiling and the dropped box will make the space seem closed-in.
why not make the metal frame with wood?
nyQwill then u don't need those stupid blocks, I think they sell them
This is an advertisement for that block
Ha ha... you can never make a metal frame with wood... :)
Yeah? Why not?
thank you, nice video, very useful to me
She is very preety with face & work both.... Good job
what kind of board did she use?
If the bottom panel can be held by screws, the side panels can too... why you need the purple blocks? Redundence.
So glad that I found your video! Nicely done! Instructions are very clear and well documented along the way. I have a question. Did you add strip lights along the edge? Or is all of the light coming from the 4 recessed lights only? Again, nice job!
we have installed strip lights along the edge.

they are called kinook blocks: www.kinook.biz
Beautiful idea 👌👌👌👌👌
Beautiful
Awesome product!
Who knew Sarah Silverman was so handy.
Hello, I hope you can answer to me. How do you connect all the led lights to just one ?
Wouldn't you need to find the ceiling studs to attach too?surely you can't attach any weight hanging from plasterboard alone.?
Really quite tempted to try this
The problem is, where could I get the materials she used here? Don't even know the names of materials..Im in Philippines
No need for that block, can just use 1-5/8 trackand the track should be properly anchored to ceiling joist not just held in with drywall plu
Wow beautiful and great work
Here's a novice's question: why wouldn't you construct the box on the ground and hang the finished piece? why do all of that work up in the air?
It will be impossible to screw it to the ceiling as the studs where the screws go in will be covered by the panels.
Very beautifully designed by
Is the original ceiling concrete?
Awesome, for a worker beautiful woman . Greetings from DIY fans Indonesia. Tqu
excellent work!

how to connect 8 or more led on one wire,for the dropped ceiling light box?
What are these plastic spacers that can be plugged together? What is the name of this product and where can I get it?
amazing work lady
Could u do something like this w just leds ?
AWESOME WORK!!!!!!
Really nice work.. Excellent
Hi, I wanted to ask how those purple things are called what you put in the corners. In order to connect it to the corners.
Loved the video. But it s more a DDIY for me (Don't Do It Yourself) lol
2.8 million views and no links to buy the material? You are missing out 💰
What is the proper name of those purple blocks? I tried to google it but couldn't find them. Thank you

Hello, great video thanks for sharing, can you please let me know what are those purple connectors call and where I can find it. Thanks
Nice job
Can you come over
The dust didn't gather in the plastic lol! But cool video
I loved this video. The only things is, LED’s is pronounced letter by letter, rather than like lead metal.
Amongst trade workers, saying “leads” vs L.E.D. Is actually pretty common.
Great job... keep up good work
