    Thanks, your video was easy to follow and helpful. I now feel confident that I can change out my fixture without calling a handyman.

    Great timing, Nils! I have three light fixtures I want to change out. This helps a lot.

    This video is incredible. He makes all the right comments at all the right moments. I love the helpful on screen arrows and side by side videos like when he turned off the circuit breaker and I visually saw the lamp turn off, I remember things that way! 👏👏 I surely hope you are getting paid to do these because you deserve it!

    Yea... don't forget the voltage tester.. if you're home alone and think no one will flip the switch on, check voltage anyway lol..apparently my ceiling fan is tied into my wall outlets ..a little tingle told me so

      Yep...spoke to an electrician once and he told me he had turned off all the electricity to the house once but almost received a killer shock from the oven.
      Apparently the wires from their house and their neighbours were mixed up and noone had ever realised.
      So yep, be careful!

    • @jinsu0504

      can't you just turn off the switch to the entire house and do it? would be easier?

    Would you recommend wrapping the exposed wires with electrical to ensure the wires don’t touch?

    Can you make a video on how to swag a light/chandelier that is not centered over a table. Will need to be rewired and new chain for enough length.

    This is good timing. I bought a bunch of new light fixtures and don’t want to wait for my husband to get home from his work trip to install them. Think I can do it??

    What will happen if displaced wires touch in the housing?

    • @LRN2DIY
      @LRN2DIY  2 роки тому +5

      Of the bare wires come into contact with one another they will cause a short at the circuit breaker. The power likely won’t come back on. That’s what the circuit breakers are designed to deal with.

    I thought that you had to wrap the ground around the ground screw, no?
