  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 18:05

    VideoJoe will be showing you how to re-install an existing light fixture in a closet on these first few video segments so why did he initially remove this light fixture in the first place?

    Well VideoJoe did a Condo renovation & he ended up painting every surface in the entire Condo & whenever he paints ceilings he likes to remove the light fixtures because it makes it so much easier to run a paint roller up there because he won't have to go back & cut in around all the light fixtures & everything else on ceilings for that matter.

    Now VideoJoe can look at the existing light fixtures when taken down, & give them a good clean & decide if he even wants to replace certain light fixtures or not. You can do it too.

    Does it really matter what size wire nuts you use to connect up the wiring? It might.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 39:49

    Does it really matter what type of light bulb to use in an existing light fixture?...my word! I say yes it does matter, if you want to save more money & if you want to be safer than not.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 413:39

    Does it really matter if the existing light fixture you are re-installing has a bit of paint on the actual surface rim of the light fixture? You can be the judge of that. But for me I like to do the best I possibly can...because I can!

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 59:52

    What if the last electrician decided to install a ceiling light fixture without using a ceiling junction box? I guess you will need to make a decision here...

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 68:49

    Take a look at your existing light fixture & see what needs to be done in order to re-install it. Try to remember how you removed an existing light fixture so you will see what the last electrician did in order to install it & decide if you are going to install it back the same way or if you need to do something different.

    I know you can do it.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 710:51

    Take a look at your existing light fixture to get ready to re-install it. You may need to look at the electrical wiring so you feel confident in knowing the light fixture will work after you reconnect it.

    VideoJoe does this every time he gets ready to install an existing light fixture & even new ones too.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 87:52

    Makes sure you have a tall enough ladder to get yourself as comfortable as possible!

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 9 ADDED VALUE15:13

    Ha...what does this video have to do with installing a light fixture? Nothing! VideoJoe likes to give you a little extra sometimes & this video may give you a few new ideas for sure.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 10 ADDED VALUE13:46

    I tell you VideoJoe uses his little carpet scissors for all kinds of things & he's glad he had them since he never knows when he'll need them next.


  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 11 ADDED VALUE14:03

    This will also give you a chance to see how your light switch cover plates are lined up. Same issue for your duplex outlet cover plates. Since VideoJoe is working on some electrical stuff in this Condo he will go the extra mile for sure...

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 129:02

    You may come across a light fixture trim cover for a can light that needs some attention. Can you work on these types of lights? That's kind of up to you. This video will give you a few ideas for things you can check on yours.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 136:09

    VideoJoe always removes can light trim covers before painting ceilings. Don't try to paint a ceiling without doing this. I have even seen professional painters taking the time to mask off every round trim cover & leave them up before painting a ceiling. Not a good idea!

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 1410:35

    Sometimes when you go to the hardware store to try to match something up like a can light trim cover spring, you might have to improvise if the spring you get is not the very exact size as all the others!

    Take your time & have some patience to make your repair look like you were never there.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 159:38

    Does it really matter what type of flood light to use in your can light fixtures? I would say yes! You will save money too.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 166:26

    Whenever VideoJoe makes a video, if he thinks you will benefit by watching it...he's going to make it & include it!

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 1711:46

    Does it really matter what type of halogen light bulb you use to replace a burned out one? It could for sure. In fact you might want to replace some of your halogen light bulbs that are still working depending on what type of halogen light bulb you might have...really?

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 189:26

    When was the last time you saw a light fixture mounted to an actual wall? If you ever encounter one that needs to be replaced or re-installed just know you can install these types of lights too.

    Has VideoJoe shown you something so far you thought you couldn't do on your own? I didn't think so. Step by step you can do most anything if you just put your mind to it.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 1911:52

    Keep it going...the more you watch the more you'll learn.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 207:06

    Take your time & do things right. If you install a light fixture & see that it may need to be adjusted just a bit, go the extra mile & remove it & do what needs to be done so you can install it & be proud of the finished install. This is your signature.

  • Professional Electricians Hate What I'm About to Show You/Part 2110:45

    As you can see, VideoJoe always tries to take his time & do things right so when he gets done with whatever is doing DIY, it will look like a professional did it instead of VideoJoe, an average Joe. You can do the same.

    Can you believe this is the end of this video course? Wah wah. I hope you have learned new things that you can now apply & know that you can do it yourself so you can save more of that hard earned money of yours.

    Nice job!

    See you next time & congrats!
