![]() ![]() Similarly, after adjusting each floodlight, you can tighten a knob at the base of each light. Included anti-theft screws can secure that wire, as well as the floodlight to the wall/cover plate. They connect magnetically to allow angle adjustment, while a power cable hooks into the bottom of the camera. The actual cup-shaped camera portion is physically separate from the floodlight portion. You may need to hire a qualified professional to help with installation. New installations may require additional hardware. ![]() Install in accordance with local building and installation regulations. The Nest Cam with Floodlight is designed to replace an existing floodlight with a wired connection of 100 to 240 volts ac, 50 to 60 hertz. When taking into consideration there’s nothing for the new Nest Cam (wired) yet, the $279.99 model could be launching sooner than the $99.99 entry. The fact it’s already published is somewhat curious as there is no launch date yet for this model. Even last-minute changes in the lighting layout wont have to be a. That should cover every option I believe.Today’s fourth video is about installing the Nest Cam with floodlight. OmniSpot LED recessed multiples, designed for easy specifying and quick installation. If the disconnected cable goes to a light or receptacle you want to be on the switch connect the ground and neutral the same as the last step but move the black wire of this cable to the switched black& light’s black If the cable that is disconnected controls both receptacles and switched lights connect to the feeder black to black, white to white and grounds together. the black coming back from the switch Connected to your light’s black wire and the light white to the feeder white.ĭisconnect the one you don’t know what it is turn the power back on and look for a receptacle that is now dead, or another light or switched light it could even be both. You identified the feeder From above, the white hot should be going to the switch (Connected to the black feeder). Should I change the light bulb, sensor or the whole light Thanks. The security light fixture has worked perfectly for several years. Last a switch leg but this whole mess was mis wired at some point, Electrical Question 1: My dusk to dawn light has become erratic, coming on at dusk, staying on a while, going out, coming back on for a few minutes, going out, coming on for a while, going out. To me it looks like you should have a feeder hot and neutral, once you figure out the feeder turn the power off and correct the light fixture.Ī second location could be an outlet or a second switched fixture The live wire I have is stationary from 8 feet way. I’ll probably have to call an actual electrician to look at this but what are some potential troubleshooting that I can do to fix it and/or figure out what is supposed to be done correctly? The wire coming from the light that has the wire cable connectors is about 2 feet. How can I explain what is supposed to be going on here? When I connect the hot (white) wire with other wires I get about 60V, not 120. I’ve checked the voltage going through the white and black lines that connected to the light were only carrying about 5V of power so I figure that’s got to be phantom voltage. So I stripped them and covered them with wire nuts (not in the photo) to make sure there was no possibility of any arcing. When the power is off to the light fixture, adjust the center lamp base contact tab inside the light socket to make sure the tab is up slightly to ensure contact with the light bulb. ![]() Also those two unterminated white lines didn’t even have wire nuts on them, it was just insulted wire. And apparently (checking with my multimeter) there is actually power coming through on the white wire, not black. Also as you’ll see from the schematic, three power lines come into the electrical box. Obviously because I can’t draw white lines with white I did that with yellow lines. How can I understand what is going on here? ![]() When the sun goes down you can continue to enjoy you Alumawood patio with just a few recessed lights or an outlet with some string lights. Adding function to your patio cover with fans, lights, outlets, or flood lights. I opened it up to look at the wiring and I found something very strange. Alumawood with electrical is a great way to upgrade a patio cover. The floodlight in the back of my house doesn’t work, I also have a handful of mystery switches so I figured I would open up the fixture and make sure it was wired right ( or at all, I’ve found a handful of switches and fixtures that just weren’t connected). ![]()
