How to Install a Light Switch / Single Pole Switch

This video shows how to install a single pole switch. This is the most common type of switch that is usually associated with turning lights off and on. ONE switch that operates 1 or more lights is a single pole switch. With the proper tools, installation is a very simple task.

I worked 15 hour shifts sometimes or 70 hour weeks doing demolition on navy ships when I got out of high school at 18. 2 years down the line I got a lucky break into electric for a higher wage and cleaner job. learned power panels, receptacles, etc. I am studying outside of work to receive a job in residential for 30 an hour + overtime. I have heard residential is different than marine. I have good nerves and am cramming as much info as I can. No debt or college, no handouts, just humble hard work going on 3 years. Thank you for your video. I hope everyone gets it.

I've spent half of an off day watching polished turd videos... great production. Crappy info. This is simple and worth its weight in gold

VERY rarely do I leave a comment. Thank you VERY much for the straightforward explanation and demonstration of this topic. Not being an electrician, but still understanding the basics of electricity, I’ve watched many YouTube videos just wanting verification of my understanding of how to wire this switch; your video showed me I was on the correct path. Keep making more videos just the way you are, they’re exceptionally helpful. Thanks.

This is such a great light switch installation instruction video. It clarified the most simple but important steps to get a safe installation done.

Simple, no-nonsense explanation with a focus on safety. Thank you.

[jameskerry]

thank you sir, after unsuccessful attempts I was about to send my switch back and call a electrician, but you saved me!

I had a dimmer switch with a ceiling fan causing a horrible buzzing sound. I attempted to replace it with a regular switch and found wires that weren’t the same colors as other videos, but I found your video the most helpful and I successfully replaced with switch after you helped explain how to identify the line and load wires. Thanks for saving me a bunch of headache and making sure I didn’t burn my house down.

Thanks man well explained. It helped a lot I got a circuit in my room blown and my switch was on that side. You saved me a electrician bill.

I personally couldn’t remember what I was thought I school so I needed a refresher.
