Hi! I know this video is 3 years old, but I just wanted to say instructions were clear and simple. Just replaced a whole bunch of old bulbs with LED and I feel so accomplished!

This is the best video I've seen so far regarding CFL to LED conversion!

I am also 3 yrs behind, but this is still a ridiculously helpful video! Thanks!

Such an excellent video! Short enough to provide all the details and no time wasted with any fluff! I changed a half dozen fixtures the exact same scenario as the video. Thank you for posting!

Thanks so much. I just did three successful conversions. I really appreciate your self effacing humor about leaving your light in the ceiling. Being a DIY we all screw up and in retrospect it's often funny. And in being persistent we end up succeeding.

Good video that will live on for many years. I do suggest removing the ballast wires from the junction box, never good to have bare ends floating around in there. Also consider removing one of the blue and red wires as unnecessary. Again, excellent tutorial.

Couldn't have done my conversion without this video, I replaced 6 and it was a breeze. Thank you.

Great video. Clear and precise. Thank you. Nice to listen to your instructions.

Best video on the tutorial for converting DFL to LED among all the others! Very clear and informative. Thank you so much!

Great video, very clear and nicely explained. I like the part how you explained to bypass the ballast wires as literally we don't need to touch those wires anymore that cleared the puzzle I had earlier.

Let there be light! We followed your instructions and got it done. My wife and I appreciate your time and video!!

Very clear and well produced instructional video. Answered many of my questions. Well done!

Excellent video! Explained and executed in the simplest way. Now I feel I am ready to replace 6 of them in my kitchen.

Thank you so much. I had installed but it was dimming and turning off. I then started searching online and found this which explained I had to bypass balance in ceiling box.SO much better lighting now.

Excellent video. Very clear. I like how you describe each step. Best video I have seen on CFL to LED conversion! Thanks!

Very clear and understandable treatment of the wiring. Thank you.

Great video, thanks Charlie! I pulled out the spare blue & red wire to make connecting the LED wires a bit easier.

This is the great video. I followed your steps and replaced CFL successfully. Thank you!

I agree with all the comments I have read so far. This is the best video. Straight to the point with no nonsense. Thank you sir!

Moved into a house with all CFLs . Very helpful video. Thank you .

Hi, Thank you for posting this video. Your instructional video easily saved me $300-$400 in electrician labor cost. I successfully converted all 4 kitchen lights from cfl to led bulbs. Thank you again!!

thank you so much for your clear instruction and demo. Following this, I have just successfully removed ballast and wired for LED Edison socket.

Thank you for a very detailed video! After watching about 3 other videos I almost gave up until I saw yours! It was super simple following your guide! Thank you!

By far the best video - I love the step by step and very easy to understand what you are saying.

THANK YOU, sir. This is by far the best DIY tutorial on this process I’ve seen. You’re the man! 👍

Charlie, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. Great video.

Best tutorial ever. Very very helpful. I've watched several of other videos but didn't have the confidence to replace the CFL socket until I saw your video. Thank you so much.

Excellent video! I watched it a couple of times and attempted to convert the recessed lights in my kitchen. Success! The only issue I had was the "door" to the junction box was on the other side so I had to figure out how to take the entire ballast off. Once that was off, I was able to get it completely out of the way. Thank you Sir.

Fantastically clear instructions and excellent video quality,,,,thank you!

Super clear and the system shown here is exactly what I have at home. Thank you for doing this.

Just finished this project! Thank you for the great informational video!

great job Charlie. You took the mystery out of it. Nice work

Great video. Will follow your tutorial when I change my cfl’s out!

Sir, you're an amazing teacher! I watched many videos on this but no one explained it as well as and as clearly as you did. Thankyou so much!

I just converted one today! This is so helpful!!!

Thank you for posting this!! This saved my day. Great tutorial!!!

GREAT VIDEO, I used this and converted my whole house to LED!

Best instructional video so far for me.

I have this same job to do. You really show how, well. This video is excellent. Thanks.

Beautiful, I just changed first light and works great ❤Thank you for a beautiful explanation

Thanks so much for making this so clear! Much appreciated

Just did 2 of these today thanks to your step by step man. Thank you so much for this 👍

Thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for!

Best video on DIY that i have see so far

Awesome video...clear and simple to follow....thank you very much!!!!

I like the way you explain, good job !!

Thanks for making such a thorough video. Too many steps left off some of the others I watched. Will be attempting this later this week.

Great Job 👏🏼! Very helpful. I might actually decide to try this LONG over due project! 🤞🏼

This was super clear and so valuable. Thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you so much for the detailed information.

This Video Rocks! Thank you Charlie! So ready to do this project this weekend!

Our lights are upgrated to led. Thanks to you!

thank you for teaching me. very clear instructions. Thanks again

I can't imagine a better guide to this task: a brilliant demonstration. I have 32 CFLs to replace but I'll employ someone to do it for me :) At least Charlie has provided a benchmark against which others can be measured. I won't DIY..but at least I'll know what's going on. Thank you!

I finally found the video that I needed! 🙏

Thank you for the wiring explanation, it helped me a lot 👍

Thank you so much for these clear instructions!

Thank you for sharing! This is the best one out there 👍

Awesome video. I have two of those cFL FIXTURES IN BATHroom and it really hard to see but now I can change them

Thank you thank you thank you ... I've been searching for this!

Great instructions. Very helpful. You are awesome !!!

I had those stupid cfl about 10 deep in my kitchen and change them all to led. Great job!

amazing. what a great video! thank you for the walkthrough. thumbs up!

Love this video. It seems like CharlieTV is quite experienced. It helped me a ton and his voice is so chill, should take up painting and be the new Bob Ross. Just sayin, he’s got that vibe. Thanks

Nice video. Thank you. Going to switch mine over now.

Good and great explanation step by step

This gave me the courage to change my faulty Bi pin socket.

The Best Yet !!!!! Thank YOU !!! ITS Done !!!! THANK YOU so very much >

Thank you for this video! It helped me soo much!!

Thanks for sharing how to convert from cfl to led. Good illustration. I will convert my lighting fixtures too. I will remember don’t forget the flashlight 🔦 😆

I am so glad that you’re home I 0:13

Terrific video! Thank you.

very nice, best instructive video i've ever seen

Great job and great camera work!

I finally done my first one following this video. For the most part the color wires are the same (blue/red) but the ones coming out of the ballast are different (pink, green, yellow etc) so it doesn't matter, i just separate and put aside as the video. The hardest part i found is my blue and red wires are a lot more delicate than what was shown in the video, they not solid copper inside. They are made of those stupid multi this strip of fiber copper if that makes sense. So i kept cut through them and have to get more and more precise when i strip them to connect to the new LED light wires. I think i spent too much time on stripping the blue and red wires, the rest were straight forward like in the video. DO allow about 30mins or so for the first one for learnings like mentioned. Honestly if you can just buy a new set of black/white wires and push that down into the socket and get rid of the little blue and white wires, I think that's actually the safest and easiest way, although a bit more costly.

Thank you for this video. My ballast was also located behind and I had no way of getting to it to try to re wire it.

So helpful! Thank you for a great video!!

Thank you sir Very clear explained video You really good 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you for this very well put video... You just saved me $800.. I own you lunch my friend. God bless...

You are the best charlietv!!

Great instructions, thank you!

Nicely explained. Thank you!

I like your teaching My lights are working thank a lot

Excellent tutorial. Very detailed

Too funny! I was thinking "Dont forget the flashlight!" I have done the same thing! LOL. Great video and you are such a nice guy! Thanks!

Soooo helpful. Not much on the plot :^) but useful and thorough just the same. Thank You.

Thank you for this very helpful video. :)

Thx for sharing ur video. This video make me to install so easy.

Good instruction. However, i would like to make a comment on the unused wires. You should clip off the bare copper section of the unused wires and then cover the cut end with an electrical tape for extra protection even if they do not have power.

Thank you Sir...your an excellent teacher (cool t-shirt as well). :-)

Great video! Thanks.

Very clear and easy to understand. However as shown, technically it violates the National Electrical Code (NEC). Connecting a conductor whose sheath is a color other than white, gray or tripled-striped white to the white wire (referred to as a "grounded neutral") is not permitted by the code, even though electrically it will work fine. (The grounded neutral is current-carrying; it's NOT the same as the "equipment ground", which does not normally carry current.) The idea is to make it obvious which conductor is the grounded neutral by restricting the color to either white, gray or triple-striped white. Alternatively, one can draw a single length of white-colored conductor into the armored cable sheath by attaching it at one end to the blue-colored conductor and pulling it through to the other end. I'd suggest doing the same with the black conductor, and use a conductor size of 14 AWG for each. One can use a fish-tape to do the pulling instead.

Thank you soooo much this helped me out a lot

Very helpful! thank you

Thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering what should I do with the round socket that come with it :)

Very useful, thanks!

Great video!

very detailed video, thanks!

Great job. Thank you
