How to install an outside light fixture.

Ойын-сауық

I’m a master electrician, sometimes even the easy things are hard. When I was an apprentice, I was taught to not use a box(which is what happened in this video).
So I am installing an electrical box and showing the proper way to install an outside light fixture on a house. It’s not easy to hole saw like I showed but with a little practice you can get there. Note that these pancake boxes like shown are only rated for 1 wire so if you have 2 or more you will need to use a round cut in box. These small simple tasks are fun but there is a lot that can be overlooked for even professionals, hope this video helps someone out there…

    Same thing happened to me with the ground holding the light but luckily my ladder saved it from falling :') "ring around the ground" HA I'll remember that. Thanks Joe!

    Nice job. Thank you for sharing. Question: Are pancake boxes approved for outdoor use?

    I use a. Multi tool when I cut those in. It's a lot easier, and there's no chance of hitting The Wire. Nice job

    The first thing you do is ensure the cabling isn't live 🤔
