Some guy wanted to charge me $675 for this. Got it done in less than an hour. Thanks for the video. Very straightforward.

Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker and test it with a multimeter beforehand. Ensure that your work area is safe and that your ladder is correctly placed. Gloves, eye protection, and a hard hat is recommended. Replace the ballast in kind or better rating. Before work commences, take a minute to look over the area, tools, replacement equipment, and what is to be replaced. On industrial jobs, we call it a “5x5” however, a minute works well enough. Be mindful of your balance while on the ladder. Always follow the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Installation and Operations Manual (IOM) paying close attention to all safety information. Remember, one slip up is exposing. After the task is complete, clean up the area. Make sure everything is in place and ready to go before you turn power back on. It is always recommended that one person stands aside of the area to re-energize while the other person turns the circuit breaker back on. If there is a problem swift communication might be necessary to turn the breaker back off. Always make safe the job before troubleshooting the problem. If there is no problem then close out the job.

It might seem a bit overkill to preform the tasks listed above however, doing any job safely is worth the extra effort.

Thank you my light went out in my closet last year and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong after changing the bulb. Now the one in my kitchen has gone out 😮. Tried to replace the bulb and same thing. I’m sure this is my solution to the problem.

As a single woman who didn’t want to call her landlord for something so small… THANK YOU for the wonderful video!!!!

[countryboy]

Thanks for this! I have one florescent out in my mud room and didn't know what it could be (replaced the bulbs and still got nothing) so now I think I know! Very easy to follow, so thanks again!

A easy trick is to unscrew the old one and let it hang with the wires still installed.Then screw in the new one and you've got the old one hanging as a cheat sheet to show you how to install the one you screwed in😁

[gregkratohvil]

very clear description on how to complete this task, thanks

[beverlytaylor]

[johngonzalez]

Best video I ever seen, straight to the point and very well instructed. Thanks!

[jermeyhouston]

Instructions were great was able to fix mine with your video. Thanks

[tripjet]

It would be a good idea to clean the inside of the diffuser while you have the light apart. If it's yellowed, you should probably replace it.

[TheDobie]

Great video I think even I could manage this feat🤣

[DilianoTheKingK]

I started learning this for 2 years. Remember to connect the wires by itself especially the neutral wires and try handling the power wire, the black wire ⬅️ especially and red wires with care, without getting burn and shock.

[dberry]

Thanks, it took me least then 10 minutes.

[kristymcreynolds]
