I have watched other channels to do this, and they have confused me!! OMG!! Your channel was the most clearest instruction video! Thank you Now, I totally understand!

For someone who's not a licensed electrician, you sure did give more, better details than many of the other videos I have seen.

A great video. However, there is a mistake that everyone should be made aware of. Never insert a Romex cable into a box without some type of cable clamp. The boxes for the LED lights are very thin metal and razor sharp. Without a clamp, the edge of the entry hole could cut through the conductors and create a short. There are plastic push in clamps available that are ideal for this application or you can use the classic screw type box clamp.

Man, you showed what I couldn't' find in any other video. I'm a beginner and didn't know how all the lights would be connected, but you made it look easy and explained it really well. Subbed!

Thank you for showing the footage in the attic and how to wire the lights from the spool. That's something not shown in other videos that was especially valuable to me.

[billystarr]

I'm a retired carpenter, and now an avid DIYer. I watched many videos on DIY LED ceiling lights the new ones. Yours is the best video out there. Thank you for being concise, but still having the important details. Coincidentally I've installed the exact same lights throughout my home. I hope they hold up. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video.

Out of all the videos i saw on YouTube for installing the recessed lights, this one is the most detailed oriented. I love how you laid out the plan for figuring out where the joists are, drilling the holes avoiding the joists and properly arranging the wiring over the ceiling with insulation! This is exactly what I was looking for! Great job👍 you earned a new subscriber today!

I did notice one oversight and that came at approx. the 19:16 mark as you ran wires into the light fixtures J-box. You didn't install cable clamps onto the box. Running cables through a punch out might be dangerous, with respect to the sharp edges. I think cable clamps should be used for safety and probably code.

Excellent video. Couple of suggestions. When you connected the wires in the attic and installed them in a PVC box located under the insulation - (1) a connector is required on the bare ground wires (just a couple twists is not sufficient). (2) since the junction box is going to be hidden under insulation, it should be marked above that a junction box is located there for future electrical accessibility. The marking of hidden JBs in the attic can be as simple as spray painting the rafters above it and then leaving a note at the attic entrance next to a spot of spray paint that means a box is located there. I have seen folks install a 1 x 2 vertically at each box location and write on it "Box Below". (3) NEC would require a minimum of 6" free conductor in each JB. Hope this helps.

Yours is the best. You're very honest with teaching us how to do the A-Z pot lights wiring - whereby most of the AHMF wannabe electricians hides it from us.

[scottalexander]

great video.. but u def need a plastic bushing to protect the romex to the sharp edges of the box.... Arlington NM94-25 Black Button Push-In NM Cable Connector, 3/8 Trade Size

[LordLoMR]

I’m so glad they came out with these. 4 years ago I had to install retrofit recessed cans... what a mess.

[goomba]

I'm not even doing this for at least a year or two, but I enjoyed your video because you take time on each step and explain it so fully. Your pacing is also really great. Thanks so much!

[Eric-zcvt]

Holy crap guide this is the most clear understanding video I have ever watched on YouTube thank you so much I completely understand exactly what to do there was no complications you instructions for dynamite and I really appreciate you thank you

[emilyhoganvisuals]

I’m interested in learning how this was wired to a switch. I wish we could’ve seen that.

[frankhardy]

Great video. Did exactly what you showed, 6 pot lights in living room. Worked out great. My attic was a mess to work around in but everything turned out great. Thanks for the detailed step by step 👍👍👍.

[JoseBarajas-keiu]

Thank you , ...you showed me what goes on in the attic and to see in view where all the wires go, . I have seen dozens of other finally showed me what I was looking for, the attic part ...thank again 😊

[michellemcgee]

I cant thank you enough. I have watched so many videos and no one has shown how to wire to connect the lights to each other. They rush through it and I could not wrap my head around it. Thank you so much!!!

[bigbluenationsmith]

Good explanation and step by step instructions. Almost like I was reading the instructions with the product. But better.

[Tyler-ocgp]

how does this only have 900 views? this is one of the best videos on youtube for step by step instructions. I was hesitant to do these myself before this video but now I have complete confidence. Thank you!!
