In this video, I removed old can lights and installed new LED Wafer lights I got from Amazon. I had to do quite a bit of work in the attic so it made the my DIY job a bit more interesting because I don't go up the attic so often.
If you decide to do this yourself, always make sure you turn off power doing anything and make sure you work safe.

Well done explaining the whole process. A lot of videos gloss over important steps and yours took every measure to cover all the right steps to complete the removal and installation. I will be using this as a reference when I swap my kitchen lights out. Thanks!

I moved into a house with a similar set of slim LED lights. How do you change the color temperature? Is there a single comtrol box for each light?

Hi! It depends on the lights. If your lights have color changing feature, it might have the control on its junction box, just like seen here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gauge8mQuMe7hoU.html Again, if your lights have such a feature, you might be able to change the color using light switch , watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJOVl7x7mtjMpY0.html Good luck! :)

Nice job! Just one question, do you need to air-insulate the light in attic to save energy?

Thank you! I wasn't sure if it's necessary so haven't done it myself but I saw some people do it for peace of mind.

I did the same thing after changing it. Why does the light flash on and off when I turn it on? Thank u

There could be several reasons for the flashing. It could be incompatible dimmer switch if you do have one, could be voltage fluctuations, loose wiring connections, overloaded circuit, etc. etc.. My lights flicker when someone is using a hairdryer in the bathroom, for example, that I can assume is caused by circuit overload or something like that. If you are unsure, it's always best to consult with a licensed electrician. We all enjoy and love DIY but they are the ones who really know and understand their stuff. :)
