(Step 1) Replace Fluorescent Lights w⁄ Recessed Lighting

This video will take you through the first few steps to safely remove fluorescent lighting to how to replace with incandescent lighting. We will walk you through how to remove and reinstall the drywall, as well as, go through the wireling involved. Let's have some fun.

Thank you from an almost 60 year old lady who usually doesn't do any electrical work. I took down all my sheet rock as it wasn't nice a smooth anyway. I am stuck right now removing the old insulation as so much old mice droppings on the sheet rock. I am so afraid of what I will find. I just don't want to do it. My fear and anxiety are so great I am weeping. The rest I am excited to do. You have made me feel competent to finish the remainder of the project--- after the insulation issue.

I always appreciate anyone who is willing to explain these things

Perfect. Been looking for a tutorial like this. Thank you Eddie Van Halen 🤘

That looks like my kitchen and future project. Now I can show prospective contractors what I want done and get an exact quote.😀

Great video but the home owner in my case would just have to get used to the light placement 😆

measure twice, install once... communicate with wife 4 times, install 4 times.

Great video! Really dig your presentation and the editing is fantastic. Looks like you haven't made one in awhile? That's a shame... I really connected with this. Powering through the rest and watching all the commercials for you.

Good video! FYI, you sound like Sam Lasco from Trailer Park Boys!

Thanks man. This was exactly what I was looking for. Actual human doing the work, LOL.

You weren't really going to just drywall over and conceal that jbox that you mounted to the joist in your ceiling, were you?

[aluminiumqueso]

Is there a reason people don’t want to frame out that whole void in the ceiling?

[jakwire]

Any reason you don't use flat-mount LEDs instead? Much less work, no?

[johnmorris]

Thanks! What if I want to drop the recessed ceiling to match the lower ceiling? How should additional joists be added to the bottom of the box, and what width should they be? Seems this would also make the wiring much easier.

[VincentFink]

Sir I followed your directions and now I just have a giant hole in my ceiling with some lights.

[marilynperez]

Do I need a permit/inspection to do that work?

[shannon]

Anyone have a ballpark guesstimate about the cost to HIRE someone to do a project like this one? Just to get an idea, same sort of size area?

I'm confused, what was the purpose of moving the lights after you install them? He installed the light boxes and then removed them and reinstalled them at a different location....why not just install them where you want in the first place ? Nvm. It was the wife. I rewatched the scene.

Fluorescents are not harsh there just bright, it’s those standard clear LED/Halogen/Incandescent bulbs, Also fluorescent is the most hated light source in the whole entire world.
