He has the wires touching and rubbing against the aluminum soffit.
All the wires coming from the house are white !! Which go’s to the other colors?? Some body at lowes didn’t scrutinize this vid
@videoranger he cut power to the wire….first step
@dirk44pitt i think if you use the circuit tester it should identify which wire is which
no one conveniently installed a previous fixture for me to simply pull out the old one and mount and install the new. Where do I find wires inside the walls when there’s no previous existing thing to be removed there? duh? no what do I do ???
The best way to get to existing wires is to go in your attic and find a junction box. It will already have power to it so don’t touch the bare wires if you open it up. Inside any of the junctions should be 3 wires (BLACK, WHITE & GREEN) hot, neutral & ground. Look for a place to tie in that is closest to the wall you want to mount to outside, Next buy the length of wire you need (it will be called 12/2 wire but there will be 3 wires). 12 is the standard gauge for 120 volt circuits in homes.
What about other models or don’t have instructions on the older model.
