So got mine installed and one of the light sockets doesn't work. Do you think it's a product malfunction? I completed some troubleshooting making sure it's not the bulb. Thoughts?

@HowToHomeDIY

@@thomasford4716 If the other sockets work then there is something wrong with that one socket and not the wiring. If its not the bulb, the next place I would check is the bottom of the socket and make sure its not bent down too far so that the bulb can make contact with it. If that isn't an issue I would want to check with a multimeter if there is power getting to it to begin with. Sometimes they are just bad and have to exchange for a new one as much as that would stink to do having it installed already.

Informative video, thank you. Question: What if I have high ceilings and I need to extend the wiring, how is that done? Do you have a video on that?

Really useful for a first time home owner

You just saved me so much money. Instead of hiring a task rabbit or electrician, you gave me the confidence to be able to do this myself! It was so easy, thanks to you!

I just bought my first home and you gave me so much belief that I can do this myself!! I am going to try this but first shut off the power

Having hung thousands of light fixtures in my IBEW career this was pretty good. I know you didn't want to go deep into the weeds on this but you missed one point. Those fixture studs are 90% of the time to long and the acorn nuts don't tighten it up all the way as the studs hit the drywall ring. Not sure where you are at but here in Chicagoland everything is pipe metal box and yes other colors of wire than red/black/white. I would always put fixture strap studs through the canopy put acorn nuts on and hold it up at eye level with strap even with top edge of canopy. Then cut the extra threads on the backside of strap, leaving a little extra. I always hated those type of fixtures, pain to get level.

Thank you. This is so useful. Does safety hook usually come with chandelier or is it bought separately?

I'm looking at one of these pretty similar. Can you just delete the poles altogether? Like attach the loops to just the lamp and base and use only chain?

Got my kitchen light up with this vid. Now I'm going to tackle the living room and dinning. However, the dinning light is not aligned center with the dinning table. Would the light be secure enough/ strong enough if it's connect to the sheetrock?

On the wire connection install.. what if you have 6 separate white & black wires? Do you combine all the like wires?

Hi Adam! Great tutorial, and easy enough. However, the light fixture I installed will not turn off by flipping the wall switch. The light fixture did replace a ceiling fan, so if there something I need to do differently at the switch or the junction? Thanks!

Great vid. Where did you get that light fixture??

Where do you put those last screws to hold the light. Do they go into ceiling or are there any fittings gor these screws.

Hi I have a question my chandelier that I got has three wires on it but when I took the old one out the ceiling only has two and they are both the same. The wires on the new chandelier are green black and white which two do I connect?

I have white and black in the ceiling and white and black in chandelier

Is there any issues with the ground wire being bare ? I installed one but felt the bare ground wire should come with a sleeve maybe with a green stripe on it . I wrapped it with electrical tape.

What kind of bulbs are these and can led bulbs be used with this type of fixture that’s on a dimmer switch? My bulbs look similar to this but recently went out. For some reason the lights will go out when I slide the dimmer switch all the way up to brightest setting.

I just started my electricians class and my mom wants me to replace our light fixtures already lol. When you wire nut, do you need to twist the wires before you wire nut it or is it optional? Edit: oh and where can i find those voltage testers you used in the beginning of the video

I had a small power brick in my ceiling and accidentally ripped a piece of plaster off trying to get everything out. Also broke my replacement light 😭. I just removed all of the light fixtures now and put the bases back to cover the wires. It won’t start a fire or anything right?

What’s that little machine that you can tell if there energy on?

How do you level a 2 chain chandelier light?

I have an antique fixture that has no ground wire, so I want to add one. I know that one end goes to the green screw, but where does the other end go?
