Pretty good video, just one important tip you should always disconnect the ground last and reconnect it first research online why that’s important

This video definitely gave me the confidence that I can do it myself! Thank you!!

You didn't test the dimming part of it?

Thanks! I’ll be referring back to this when I move out in a few weeks.

You didn't dimmed the lights

Way to explain the right way to do it !!! Thanks for your great,Simple video and explanation!

Great demonstration and advice. Thank you.

Very clear. Thank you for the clear steps.

Thanks so much. Great video. Perfect for my situation.

Thanks, You're welcome.

Thx for the help! I wasn't sure if I needed to connect all of the wires in the junction box or just the black & white to the red & black. Thx for your help. It works fantastically!😉

Precise and simlpe presentation

Read video helped me out a lot. Thanks for posting

Thank You So Much For This Great Video! I was able to learn a few things from this video. You Explained Everything Very Well...AWESOME INSTRUCTOR!

Good work

i have five lights with one switch can i replace with dimmer switch

In my wall, I have a single poleand i just have hot (black), neutral (white) and ground (unsheathed). But my dimmer has load (red), line (black), neutral (white) and ground (green). I can't connect 4 wires to 3 wires, what one is redundant? The neutral?

What if the house doesn’t have a ground ?

when I turned on my fuse I had a spark jump.............redid it then had smoke.....?

Thanks for this! Do you need a certain light bulb for dimmer switch?

Curious why you didn't show the dimming function of the switch when, after all, you have the word "DIMMER" in your video title?

You keep talking black and white, but my wires are different colors on both incoming. It would be more clear if you used line and load. Common is ?

What if i only have the basic switch with the white and black wiring and how to install a dimmer?

Thank you. My light sometimes worked so knew when the fuse was 'off' but didn't know if I had to test it like most instructors said. I was afraid to start!

Thanks

I appreciate your video, good work!!!

good but where is the dimming action?

Oh now I found a video after I already installed mine 😂

Great video. Made my job very easy.

Very helpful! It would be a bit easier to see though if there was more light shined directly on what was happening

I agree. Having a spotlight shining almost behind the person is not good. The shadows of his hands that are cast on the wall interfere with me watching what I'm supposed to be watching. Very distracting

For future it’s never connect hot wires with neutral bc saying the black wire is too vague and Mia leading

need to angle your light . i m getting dizzzy . I see like 6 or 7 wires with the shadow

So there are no cords you need to change to a dimmer? Like you don't need to run any new wires?

Correct. No new wires.

very informative thanks

Good job. Very clear

Yeah on mine the red and green wire are cut and the cables are just hanging loose. 😮

GREAT VIDEO !!! THANKYOU !!!

Thank you

Perfect thank you

You didn't demonstrate the dimmer. Did it work? What if it didn't?

What is the name of the first switch ?

My husband was a great electrician I learned a few things from him. He likes to do these with the power on. Always scared me!

Why do you have 2 black wires? Where’s your neutral?

Can I use a “dimmer switch for LED/compact fluorescent/incandescent” on just regular bulbs? I’m thinking the one I just purchased from Amazon isn’t going to work

@w0rm45

I believe I saw on the box when I bought some bulbs, they do label it's not recommended or not used for dimmer. But always check the box. Please let me know if you saw that on a box you bought. Happy Holidays!

It actually worked great, just had to mess around with the wiring and figure it out

Do u have to buy a certain light fixture or bulb for the dimmer or just a switch will work on a existing fixture?

@buleahhula102

You need a lightbulb that will "dim" it will be marked. the switch and the lightbulb work together

thank u made it simple for me

Do you need electrical tape?

Hard to understand when all you see are white wires.

Helpful 🙌🏽

You didn't show us if it really dimmed or not. I put one in and the dimmer wouldn't work, it drove me crazy. So I exchanged it for another one thinking it was faulty out of the package. Have yet to put it in, this was months ago.

Make sure the light bulb is dimmable

Why Didn't you test the dimmer so we can see it works? smh. failed~!

Aziz, LIGHT!

Easy instruction..i know i can do this. But You didn't show us the dimming ability of the switch. That's what I was waiting to see.

Berry good thank you. Liked and subbed

I saw you have 2 black wires and ground(black to black)(black to red) and grounds together ,but I have black white and ground,do I connect red to the white?

Some dimmers require a neutral (white wire) while others do not. Red wire (without a label attached) goes to the load (light fixture)

almost 10 minutes and it did not show the dimmer effect! nor if it worked..

Never undo the ground first

I believe that you should watch this video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJWBwdR-c9eWZ5s.html 1. He talks about the wires in pairs not simply: remember which wire goes where and match the labels on old and new switch. 2. He removed the ground wire last. He didn't make a point of it, but its the safety precaution. Its like me fiddling inside my computer case and then when I finish I put a grounding strap on! In this case the vulnerable thing is your life rather than your computer hardware. Its irrelevant that the power is off, the ground should be last and first thing to attach.

I’m so sorry to all the normal people that think they learned something from this video. If you came here to learn, LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN. If you came here to laugh, welcome… have a seat.

You didn't test the dimmer, though. 😏

Show how it dims, Andrew. Otherwise, good video.

Good video but you didn't dim the light.

5/5

Not a Phillips

that's single pole single throw.

You didn’t even use the dimmer to see if it worked

You need better lighting and camera position.
