Here's how I installed this new LED Allen and Roth "Welton" Outdoor Wall Lantern Porch Light Installation Tutorial Part #2602001 [LED] model. I unbox and install this new power saving light fixture which also adds an upgraded decorative look. I first located the the breaker for the circuit that I was to be working on and shut off the power. I then verified I shut off the power with my voltage tester (will leave a link below to purchase on on amazon from which I get paid a very miniscule amount from if you purchase) and then unhooked the old light fixture. This one on this particular installation was pretty easy, it was just white to white, black to black and ground to ground. Once hooked up and verified that the wiring is super tight and not coming apart (I tug on it just to make sure), then I fire the power back up. Customer was very happy with this upgrade.

MACTREM Brand LED Ring Light Kit-Unboxing, Assembly and Review; Part# M-A001. This light assembly is super easy to put together and use. The light has many different levels of lighting as well as different types of light (i.e. white light, yellow light, etc.). This is all adjusted on a switch adjuster that is very user friendly. Great for pictures and videos. There are actually two assemblies with this kit. One for the light and one for your phone/camera. This kit comes with two versatile tripods so you can adjust both your camera and light at any angel you wish. Using the contents of this hit will fully enhance your filming and photography experience. It plugs into a USB which I demonstrate can be operated off of a lap top or a plug in the wall. This would also be a nice addition for the ladies who are doing their make up.

These DEFIANT brand motion security lights are incredibly easy to install. They were around $50 each at Home Depot. They really made this install very simple and they are soooo bright that it hurts your eyes to look at them. I was very pleased with the ease of installation as well as results and functionality of them serving their purpose well. Be sure to turn off the power to the circuit before working on any of this. A voltage tester is always a good thing to have around. Reminder to check the batteries and on/off function of your voltage tester before using. After you get your old outdoor light off the wall and unwired, you'll need to also remove the threaded piece of flat bar/sheet metal bracket as the new LED motion sensor light has it's own unique piece with an inset threaded center oriface that needs to be installed. The same original two screws can typically be used if need be. If the old ones are worn than be sure to replace them. A lot of times they make these screws stainless steel whereas a lot of times in the past they were galvanized. Even though they are galvanized they still get corroded and sometimes very bad.
Once you get the bracket and back plastic holder plate installed be sure the wiring is run through hole. Now the next step is the one that I really like. There's only one screw for the ground wire but then there's some set screws for the black and white wires. The kit comes with a little red flathead screwdriver..........check out https://the-avant-garden.blogspot.com for the rest of the details.

I know the experts recommend staying in a certain niche, and I'd say I do that for the most part, however, I don't like to put self imposed limits on what I post. It stays more interesting for me this way. I take great pleasure in fixing things as well as trying new foods, helping others, and visiting new places. I really appreciate and enjoy the education that youtube has to offer. It's still amazing to me how you can learn how to do almost anything with just a few clicks and some watch time. Almost all of the videos I post are not just for the purposes of posting videos, they are documentation of activities and fixes I was going to do regardless. So I figured that since I'm performing these tasks anyway, might as well have fun making some videos and maybe make a nickel or two.
This video shows you how to install DEFIANT Brand LED Outdoor Motion Detector lights purchased at Home Depot. This is the easiest installation I've ever done due to the easy configuration of these lights. I am not getting any kickbacks from plugging these lights but come on.....so easy to install. Main thing is to turn off your power so you don't shock the shit out of yourself. The rest is damn easy once you watch my how to for dummies video. I appreciate all your views and welcome any positive comments.
