This is literally the video I was looking for! I kept finding ceiling repairs but none about the recessed lights. Thanks so much!

Nice Video. The FibaFuse fiberglass drywall tape is a lot thinner than the mesh tape and will take much less time, sanding and mud. Perhaps another video idea for ya. Cheers.

Nice I like it. I'll definitely try that next time 👍
Many thanks for this video. Not being a recessed lighting expert, the thing that you skipped is how to disconnect and reconnect the actual light. Any hints on that without having to go up into the attic?

It all depends on the type of recessed light you have. In my case I can disconnect the light and pull it down from below. If you have the older style recessed cans that are metal lined, they are permanently fixed unless torn out. Take a look at what version you have and see what you can do from there

@@PlatoonGarage Thanks. They were just installed last week ... they are the newer style with the clips. But they do connect to a box in the attic. I'm guessing I'll need to either let it hang (if I get enough clearance to work) or I'll need to disconnect the wires and remove it temporarily. I just need to figure out how to disconnect the wires and keep track of which wire goes where.
