" -In the kitchen is one area that you can't have too many lights I think. And you'll notice that we've got all these steel boxes hanging from the ceiling corresponding to the work areas. There's an L-shaped counter behind me here and there's an island in the center of the kitchen which will have what 2 or 3 of these Steve."

" -These three I had to go on over the island."

" -Okay and the ceiling above us is just below that deck that's off the master bedroom so that there will be insulation and yet the way these are made now, you can bring the installation right up to the edges, right?"

" -That's correct. There is a thermal overload protector located in the top housing of the fixture and that detects heat, and excessive heat will cause that thermal overload to trip or pop like a fuse does. The only thing is you can't reset it. It has to be replaced by a licensed electrician."

" -Okay, but this is all for fire safety."

" -That's all for fire safety."

" -And how big a light bulb can you put in it?"

" -Well, this fixture holds a 100 watt reflective flood lamp."

" -Okay and then of course you have a trim kit that goes in there. So that when it's up in the ceiling what you're really looking at is the white housing with that bulb in it."

" -What's that?"

" -Right? And you gotta use the right kind of bulb."

" -That's correct. That's part of the decorative feature of the fixture. "

" -Now, what about the good part? How do you install one of these things?"

" -Well, they come with the mounting brackets we have up here. You usually wire them right up on the ladder. You pull off the cap of housing."

" -We have a half-inch tail that usually just pops right out. A Romex connector fits right in here."

" -And then this of course is the Romex and why don't we review what we've got here. What's coming out of there?"

" -We have a"

" -The black and the white and the copper?"

" -Well, you have more than one fixture on the on the switch leg, so you have a feed in and a feed out to next fixture. "

" -Yeah."

" -The black is your hot leg. The white is your neutral. The bare wire is your ground."

" -Now when you're connecting it which one do you connect first."

" -I always connect the ground first then the neutral and a hot leg last."

" -Why?"

" -Safety."

" -Yeah."

" -It just in case someone accidentally livens up the circuit, while your working."

" -And what about if you're disconnecting a fixture to change it."

" -Reverse the order and disconnect black first then the neutral and the ground."

" -Ground last. Okay, well what about the mounting brackets. Do you have them in place?"

" -The mounting brackets slide right in. You want to make sure you slide them with the L facing out so you can fasten."

" And these of course will bite right into the edges of the ceiling joints,"

" -the strapping."

" -For the strapping."

" -If you wanna slide this last one."

" -Sure."

" -Give it a little wiggle, they slide right in."

" -There."

" -So."

" -The wires pop through, this is a pressure connector, this snaps in."

" -Oh, it just snaps in."

" -Wire goes straight up here. Making up the ground wire."

" -So copper to copper?"

" -Copper to copper."

" -Tough, got it out of the way."

" -Ah, you should always cut the excess before you put the wiring down there."

" -Yeah, you want 'em mechanically sound before you actually put the wiring on."

" -Yeah, that means that it's all holding itself together even without the net."

" -Tuck that in. Last, we have is the hot leg. Good and tight and then the cover."

" -Collar just snaps right there."

" -Okay, and what now what."

" -Now, I've already measured my marks from the center of my fixture, check it, sever here, these holes in the center of the circle, chafe it and make sure that the bottom is flush at the bottom of this strapping, right."

" -That's correct."

" -Yeah, you want me to hold it while you extend them?"

" -Actually the whole fixture was extended a little bit."

" -Yeah."

" -And then you also have to drive some screws in there, don't you?"

" -Yes. Actually."
