Awesome tutorial. I tried doing it myself first and got stuck, so this saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thanks!

Excellent and straight to the point video, I just replaced 5 today…26 more to go! Thank you! 😊

[erikasegraves]

Thank you so much for this video! I was able to change my CFL into LED by myself during COVID, thanks to you!

Thank you so much for your detailed but quick video. I've been dreading trying this out on my own for a year but finally did it. I changed out 4 of them today and all work perfectly. Will be doing about 15 more. Thank you again. You saved me a lot of money and I can have some pride for doing it myself (of course with your helpful video).

Thank you for this video. I’ve been putting off doing this for over a year now because I couldn’t find all the details that go in to replacing these and upgrading them like you did. Once I found your video, I replaced them next day and now all my lights work! I really appreciate you making this video and helping us out! Thanks again!

I've got to say, THANK YOU! I'm no electrician so I appreciate the step-by-step installation instructions. I followed the video to the letter and now my over-the-sink light matches the new LED Canned lights I put in my (newly remodeled) kitchen ceiling. Don't tell my wife I used your video, though... please. I want her to keep thinking I'm a friggen' genius.

This is great, I just had a bunch of blow insulation fall all over the place. 😂 But once I cleaned that up it was smooth sailing, thanks again!

Thank you so much for posting this video! The CFL ballast's wiring looked intimidating, but your clear instructions helped me understand what was going on and get over my nervousness. My first LED conversion went well and I anticipate the rest will be easier. You saved us a lot of money; thanks again!

Thank you so much! This video saved me $500 of electrician costs. I had no idea the CFL had a ballast which was puzzling me when I tried to connect the red/blue wires directly to the LED light. A+ video !

[Luciferjuice]

Thanks for this video
I immediately became overwhelmed when I saw I had two of these while replacing all of my overhead lights.
This was a perfect walk through

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I always get nervous performing electrical work but this video gave me the confidence to try and tackle the job of replacing my old CFLs. Once I got up in the ceiling, my setup had some minor differences but after following this step by step for the first light, I was able to replace all 8 CFLs in my house without even needing a flashlight or this video for lights 2 through 8.

Great tutorial. This gave me the information I needed to decide to deal with this exact problem, a broken CFL ballast in a recessed ceiling can. I didn't realize the can was so easy to move out of the way and the ballast was easy to remove until I saw this video. Previously I imagined I would have to access it from the attic or cut through the ceiling. Silly me!

[carolathompson]

Exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate your step-by-step explanation and tips. Just finished and the light works great! Thank you!

[seanbailey]

Lee - I watched several videos on this and yours was - by far - the most instructional! Thank you !!

[vanvadamoren]

Thank you. Finally found you video to know how to remove old bulb, and replace LED. Appreciate you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[colinmoore]

Thank you as always for a very good video. I was able to convert 2 of these lights with your help. I presume that the red and blue wire connections inside the light can, go to either the white or black wires. I admit to leaving the flashlight in the loft and having to remove the can again!!! The main problem I experienced, was gaining access to the fixture mounted directly over a bath, my stepladder was too wide to fit inside the tub, a narrower 2 step option still left a full stretch, access is everything! I enjoy your encouraging videos, as a 'hobby handyman' here is SO CAL I am taking on a bigger variety of jobs now.

[luisgutierrez]

Very interesting, welcome to the new generation light bulb LED thanks I’m old man try to get updated with new lighting.

[susanmiller]

Thank you SO much, your video was so helpful, with your help we now have 6 new LED lights in our kitchen.

[jaytee]

Great video. Very quick, helpful tutorial,
Thank you!

I followed your instructions and it was fairly simple once I learned the ballast box I have had wires that I believe were “step down” voltage box….more wires than what you depicted…anywho…I got it out and swapped. The next half dozen will be faster for sure…thx 👍🏼
