drumboi doesnt matter if its a dimmer or a normal switch , only time u cant use a dimmer is with low volt lighting , doesnt concern which way its wired , my advice to u is to get a qualified electrician
have u guys ever heard of green and yellow sleeving for the earth wire how can u have bares cores showing irrespective of their function
Direct this question to the National Fire Protection Association.
haha…I think thats checkmate! Keep doin what your doin Bob!
u can use a dimmer on low voltage downlights
haha
The wires on my light fixture are yellow and the ones i am connecting to are black and white, how do i know which ones i am suppose to link them to?
not twin+earth??? (metal light fitting)
those are counterfit breakers u showed! u gotta get them changed out, go on google and search square d counterfit circuit breakers and you will see.
You are 100 percent wrong. Actually 150 percent wrong. The Square D breakers in this video were sent to me by the manufacturer.
ohh, ok. They looked like them cause Ive seen the counterfit ones, and the “D” part on them is not colored yellow like they are now, same as the amp rating, that is colored white now. . when where those installed?
Those breakers were installed in 1986.
Ohh ok, thats why they looked counterfit, sorry for tha trouble haha.
We are replacing a ceiling fan with a chandelier. When we connected everything the wall light switch won’t turn the light off. What did we do wrong, or miss?
I have the same issue. I can not get the light to turn off after removing a ceiling fan. Thoughts???…
I installed a dual bulb with black and white wires and ground. all wires were connected color coded and now they are always on. Any suggestions?
if it has more than one bare ground copper wires, which is save to touch ?
how many ground wires should there be? i only saw one in video..good video though
Hi I have a question, I want to install a light that i bought. It has black, white, and green/yellow wire. I connect white to white, black to black, and green/yellow with the copper wire from the ceiling. I thought it’s right, but when I turn on the light it blows up, I can see dark burn outs in the light box and wires. What went wrong?
did you get any suggestions on this?
What wires do I connect in the light to get the switch to work properly? The way I have it now when I turn the light off I trip the breaker. The switch seems to be at the end of the string the way it is set up. But it was able to control a socket. I want to control the light I installed now.
the green/yellow wire is ur ground wire. dont connect it to the other copper wire thats there. wrap it around a screw thats in the fixture like he did in the video
thanks this helped me!!!
I have a pull string light fixture that I want to change so that I can turn it on via a wall switch. It is in a closet so I don’t care if the wire is visable and that the switch box is mounted on the outer wall. (As opposed to being hidden inside the dry wall.) How do I wire this up?
good job splicing the wires before screwing on the wire nuts
