Great advice on leaving the stranded wire further out before twisting on you wire nut. I wire our schools and hospitals that have a bunch of stranded to solid connections. We teach all the apprentices.
Great post. I just saw another video that talked about the braided wire tip you mentioned. Its an important tip for longevity and safety. One request. Improved audio is needed.
I’d recommend stop watching shorts then. It’s meant to be a snap shot of a longer tutorial - Double Light Fixtures Above a Bathroom Vanity | PLAN LEARN BUILD ua-cam.com/video/eeTn7jc0P-o/v-deo.html
Serious question, not a troll: are the laws different where you are? Where I work, you would need to be a licensed electrician and plumber and general contractor to do all the stuff you are showing.
Yes, you should have a box to contain the connections and screw the fixture to. 1 exception example would be a fixture that is affixed to the wall first like a 2 or 4 foot fluorescent fixture that has a protective connector where the wiring enters and a compartment for the connections. But typically a wall sconce needs a box in the wall. Hope this helps.
Wrong! First things it's not braided wire it's called thhn or you can say stranded wire. It's not a rope or someone's hair so it's not braided! Also always keep them even I don't care if you think it works better cause it doesn't I'm an electrician and I've been doing this for a long time and none of my connections come apart unless I put one wire past the other.
You not a good electrician, I'm also I commercial electrician and if you have solid wire connections with stranded wire you always leave the stranded wire sticking out further to make a better joint. I bet your wires have pulled out. 🤣
Well, you're wrong. Key is the stranded needs to be tied in the spring too and without it extending out a bit, it can miss. Wagos are even better for this application though.

Good video. Don’t know if those wire nuts were the old ones or new… but use new ones if you can! They can get brittle over time.
Well, that might’ve been good advice if you weren’t going so fast
I wish it wasn't high speed and teaching what to do. The video is great if i could see it in reg speed

My fixture lights are extremely dim now. I’m not sure if I have to replace the small bulbs or the entire fixture itself?
Do I need a box? I don’t get why wall sconces don’t have boxes for the outlet.

Then maybe you should do an advice video...😳
