An actual tutorial wowie
questions? that's cool. I might be able to help. Depends on the fan.
Note: Banana not required
I used music from DJ AG in this video. If you don't subscribe to him immediately, your ceiling fan will explode while you're changing the light kit: / @djag
About half the comments are telling me this is a Kmart Alaska ceiling fan from Kmart. Thank you. You can stop telling me now. I know what model it is. It is a Kmart Alaska. You do not need to add to the pile. Every other day I get a notification "Kmart Alaska" yes. I understand. The video is like 5 years old now.

Thank goodness! Thank you so much! Someone FINALLY showed me how to remove that pesky light fixture! Do you know How Many tutorials I had to watch to find you??? A Lot. And Not One if them actually showed me how to remove the light fixture... which is where I was stuck. Just three little screws (or four in my case). Who knew? You are the best! Thank you so much, and I will look for you first from now on 😁.

and thats providing the fan can actually be upgraded.... the new units come with the light attached already! so, if you don't like it, you have to change out the whole fan! oh, and I would have taken the wires from the OLD light kit and spliced them onto the new kit... that way, the plug-in feature would still be available.

Thanks for the video! I want to change my light fixture in my ceiling fan, it's lovely but I don't use all 3 bulbs. It's just aesthetically pleasing if I just change the 3 bulbs to a globe.

@ryanravencaller 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly the globe can provide just as much light, where as the 3 or 4 bulb kits work best with at least 2 or 3 bulbs so you dont have dark corners, way cheaper to go the globe route anyways and cheaper on lightbulbs especially if you're upgrading to the smart wifi lightbulbs to use with Alexa, google home or apple homepod, you only need to buy one of those expensive bulbs for a fan with a globe!

turning off the breaker/junction box helps if you're installing a ceiling fan. if you don't turn off junction box, electric shock.

Do you think taping the wire cap onto the wires with electric tape would reduce the risk of arcing?

@WAEMIDIV 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, many electricians do this as an extra precaution and safety measure. Taping the cap on not only prevents arching to other wires/ a ground, it also keeps water out of it in the event the fixture becomes victim of water damage.

Hi. I have a question. Can the light fixture kit from a ceiling fan work alone if the ceiling fan is removed?

@WAEMIDIV 2 жыл бұрын

Not usually, no. Although the wiring would certainly function, ceiling fan lights often have unique mounting hardware that only allows them to be mounted to ceiling fans, so if you could find some way to mount it, then yes! But it won't be easy.

@HHH_3 2 жыл бұрын

@@WAEMIDIV Couldn't the lights connect similar to a standard ceiling light bulb? Thanks for the response!

@WAEMIDIV 2 жыл бұрын

@@HHH_3 Well anything is possible with enough work. I don't really know what your goal is, but if you're not afraid to poke around and experiment with it then go ahead and try. I don't know what brand or type of fixture you're working with, I don't even know what country you're in, so with no context I can't help with much. But good luck!

How do you know what size to get or is there a standard size?

@WAEMIDIV 2 жыл бұрын

Light kits are pretty universal unless they're specifically labeled for a certain brand. For example a universal kit probably won't work on a Hunter fan, and a Hunter light kit might not work on a Hampton Bay fan. Universal ones will more than likely adapt to common brands like Patriot lighting, Casablanca, Harbor Breeze, etc
