Whether home for you 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: is a castle, congratulations, or a cottage, it matters not 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: It really doesn't, you know why, because luxury does not 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: a great home make. It is design that matters most. 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: Good design makes all the difference. Every house deserves it, 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: every house should enjoy it. Because once good design is 10 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: at work, flowing in the right direction, every house has 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: a path forward toward becoming a great home. And I 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: mean that with all of my heart. Every house, castle 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: or cottage can become a great home. And on that note, 14 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: in that vein today on the show, we're gonna have 15 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: some fun. We're gonna have some fun looking forward to 16 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: the holidays, because we're in it now, aren't we. I mean, 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: we are well in it. We're a full week into November, 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is just around the corner, Christmas right after that. 19 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: All of the holidays are coming. We are in the 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: holiday season, congratulations, and it's time to talk about some 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: practical things that are going to make the house smarter 22 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: and sexier for the holidays. And so what I thought 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: I would do today is I thought I would talk 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: about kind of the big three zones or zones, zones, categories, 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: big three categories for the holidays. If we want to 26 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: make some changes to the house that functionally will affect 27 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: the way that we take in the holiday season, these 28 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: are pretty good categories to make those changes in. Number 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: One lighting lighting, because you know, the mood of the 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: holidays always always very important to set the mood. And 31 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm not talking specifically today about Christmas or holiday decor lighting. 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about improving the lighting general in your house. 33 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: So this is going to last far beyond just this 34 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: holiday season, but we're taking advantage of the idea of 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: changing some of the lighting up. And every suggestion today 36 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to lighting has nothing to do with 37 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: calling out the electrician. These are all if you want 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: di wiable things. We're not going to tear into any walls, 39 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: We're not going to open up any wires. We're simply 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: going to make some really practical changes in lighting. Second 41 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: category home theater meaning you know, yeah the TV. What 42 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: can we do without you know, reinventing the wheel completely 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: to hush up and upgrade your home theater because you know, 44 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: the holidays, we got classic movies to watch, We've got 45 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: big games to watch. It's just the time when here 46 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: in the twentieth century, we're going to be focusing on 47 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: that screen a little bit more. So how do we 48 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: make that a more you know, exciting experience again without 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: breaking the bank and without into the house. And finally, 50 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: now this one, may you know, imply a little install effort, 51 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: but major appliances, because what are the holidays if not 52 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: the time that we are hovering around the kitchen doing 53 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: more cooking, doing more eating, and so on. So I'm 54 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: gonna do some review of some of the major appliance 55 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: moves that have happened in twenty twenty five, just in 56 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: case you're thinking about changing out the ovens or the 57 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: cook top.

Let's talk about 141 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: things that may change your lighting outlook for your home 142 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: for years to come. We'll do that when we return 143 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: your Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper. 144 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 145 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty. 146 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us on the program. Today, we're looking 147 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: forward to the holidays and we are talking about some 148 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: practical artsy, juji sexy changes for your home before the 149 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: holidays arrive in time. And we're looking at the big 150 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: three categories here that really kind of affect things in 151 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: regards to the holidays specifically. But these changes that I'm 152 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: suggesting today, they're going to go forward. They're not just 153 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: decor things. They're going to move forward, you know, from 154 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: from now on, and you're going to appreciate them. I 155 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: believe something at home during the holidays are more important 156 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: than others like setting the mood, watching sports and movies, 157 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: eating right. So today we're kind of tackling all of 158 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: those categories. So I want to dive into the world 159 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: of lighting without rewiring. How can we change up and 160 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: jush up our lighting situation at home? Okay, So I 161 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: cannot start this without starting at the very top and 162 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: talking about the number one rule. So if you're listening 163 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: and tune in, listen carefully to me, because I'm about 164 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: to hand you one of the most important things in 165 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: regards to lighting your home that you will ever hear. 166 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: And it's simply this. In the world of lighting, design. 167 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: There is a general rule. It is almost a universal law, 168 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: almost not quite, but pretty much. If you can remember 169 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: this one rule when it comes to your house and 170 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: apply religiously, you will radically change the lighting quality inside 171 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: your home in a big way. And it is simply this. 172 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: In the world of lighting design, we do not light rooms. 173 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: We light things. We do not light rooms. We light things. 174 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: That is things furniture, not the sofa per se, because 175 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: people are sitting on it and you don't want them 176 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: to look up and get that glare of light into 177 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: their eyes, but things, especially things on the walls of space, art, 178 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: family photos, the fireplace mantle, and so on and so forth. 179 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: We do not light rooms. We light things. And if 180 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: you apply that now, and you're staring up at the 181 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: ceiling of your home, and you've got a ceiling like 182 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: so many people full of recess can lights that were 183 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: laid out kind of uniformly all across the ceiling of 184 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: you whatever given room we're talking about. You turn on 185 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: those lights and you realize these lights are not lighting things, 186 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: they're just lighting the room. Who did this, well, an 187 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: electrician did it, or a general contractor or the builder 188 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: did it, and those individuals unfortunately, are not lighting designers. 189 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: They are just people who and I don't mean to 190 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: minimize their role, by the way, I don't mean just people, 191 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: but in terms of design, these are people who are 192 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: trained to do the installation and execute the designs of others, 193 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: not to create the designs themselves. And I don't mean 194 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: that again to say that there aren't electricians who aren't, 195 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, savvy at lighting design, or general contractors or 196 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: builders who aren't savvy at this kind of thing. I 197 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: am simply telling you this, though it has no requirements 198 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: on their training to acquire the license that they hold. 199 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: An electrician does not have to have one iota of 200 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: lighting design sense. In order to have an electrical contractor's license, 201 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: they have to be masters at the installation and the 202 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: wiring and the calculations and all of the things that 203 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: go involved in laying out and executing an electrical system 204 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: in a house, not making decisions about where lighting looks best. 205 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: That is a completely different category relegated to the design world. 206 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm trying to express. Plumbers same way 207 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to plumbing, laying out bathrooms, designing bathrooms. 208 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: Right now, a lot of contractors over the years have 209 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: picked up a lot of good tips, and they've got 210 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: a lot of good advice to give. I just don't 211 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: want you utterly dependent on them. Okay, So again, this 212 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: one rule taken an entire segment here to draw a 213 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: circle around this truth. And when we come back, we're 214 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: going to talk about practically how to get the lights 215 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: that you've got to start doing what it is I'm suggesting, 216 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: and there's a relatively simple step to make that happen. Okay, 217 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: But the rule is we light things, not rooms. Things 218 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: not rooms. So how does that recess can downlight that's 219 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: just pointing down at the floor. How do we get 220 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: it to start lighting things? We'll talk about that when 221 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: we return your Home with Dean Shark, the House Whisperer. 222 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 223 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty. 224 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: That's what we're here to help you with every single week. Hey, 225 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm about to just blow your mind with something you 226 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: can do to radically change the lighting in your home. 227 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: But before that, why don't we give away some tickets 228 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: to our holiday home show How does that sound?

Here is the number wait for it, 241 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: eight three three two Ask Dean eight three three the 242 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: numeral two. Ask Dean if you want to win a 243 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: ticket to be with us for that live audience event. 244 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Eight three three to ask Dean. Go, 245 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna give four tickets or eight tickets away four winners, 246 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: you and your plus one. Okay. While that's happening, let's 247 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: talk about changing your lighting in your house. So you've 248 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: got recess can lights. They have more than likely, you know, 249 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: unless you had an actual lighting designer come through the 250 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: house and lay those cans out. They are very very 251 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: likely just random. Well it shouldn't be. They're sort of 252 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: just like organized in a grid across the room. And 253 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: there down lights, meaning they just you know, they shoot 254 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: down from the ceiling. You may have the occasional directional 255 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: trim on there, but the by and large, the most 256 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: of you have down lights. So how do we change 257 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: those lights without digging into the drywall or moving them? 258 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: How do we change those lights to conform to the 259 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: number one rule of lighting design that they should have 260 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: been laid out by in the first place. And what 261 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: is that rule? That's right? We light things, not rooms. Okay, 262 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: so how do we get that done? Well, we got 263 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: to get those lights turned so that they're facing the 264 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: things that they could reach and light up on the 265 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: walls or in the room that are interesting and that 266 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: we want to highlight. Essentially, we want to turn your 267 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: recess can lighting into a gallery kind of lighting scenario 268 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: for each and every room including yeah, the hallway. Yeah, 269 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in a second. So how do 270 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: we do this? We change out the trim. Now to 271 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: do this, I've got to explain to you what this 272 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: means some of you already know. But a recessed can light, Okay, 273 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: a recess light is essentially two components. One is the 274 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: housing that is built up into the ceiling. It's attached 275 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: to the framing. It's flush with the dry wall, and 276 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: that's where the wires for the house have run power 277 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: to it. That's the housing. The part that you see 278 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: when you're in the room is not the housing. It's 279 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: what we call the trim and that piece, that round 280 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: white piece with the bulb or the lens or whatever 281 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: that is in the middle. That is trims consist of 282 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: a trim ring. There's what we call a baffle, which 283 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: is the little stairstep little ridges, and then the lens 284 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: or the light source itself. That trim. If you were 285 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: to hop up on a ladder and get your fingers 286 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: around the outside edge and just gently pull down that 287 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: trim is sitting up inside that housing. Usually two different ways. 288 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: There's either some kind of some spring loaded wires that 289 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: have engaged the housing on a little clip up in there, 290 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 1: or it's just up there with little pressure tabs. But 291 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: you can pull the trim down. You can pull it 292 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: down and you can pull it out of the housing, right, No, 293 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: you're not going to electrocute yourself. Yes, it's completely safe 294 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: to do this. No, you're not going to break anything. 295 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: You can pull that trim down and then you're gonna 296 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: find out how that trim is attached to the housing. 297 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: There is a couple of wires and those wires either 298 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: lead to a screw in plug, which you know looks 299 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: like the you know, the the screw in end of 300 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: a light bulb, or in newer housings, there's probably a 301 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: little blue or an orange clip and that clip comes apart. 302 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: There's a little just a little snapping socket clip. So 303 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: you can undo that clip or unscrew that that little insert, 304 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: and you can just take the trim down and bring 305 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: it down to the ground with you. Okay. The point 306 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: is the trims on a recessed housing can are exchangeable. 307 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: They're interchangeable, they're replaceable, and they generally speaking, don't break 308 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: the bank. Now there's a little bit of an investment here. 309 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: The trim that I would like you to replace that 310 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: down light trim with, that's that static down trim that 311 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: can't be aimed, is what we call a gimbal. A 312 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: gimbal g I M B a l A gimbal trim 313 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: simply is a trim that can aim the bulb. The bulb, 314 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: the lens can spin, and it can shift and tilt 315 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: and aim. It's an aimable trim. Okay. And if you 316 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: were to go online right now, don't walk away from 317 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: the show to do this, But if you were to 318 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: go on light right now and you were to pop 319 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: in the search window recessed light gimbal trim, you would 320 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: see a bevy of images that pop up that would 321 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: illustrate exactly what I'm talking about. A an aimable trim. 322 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: And this, my friend, this this one thing changing out 323 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: a trim. You're also, by the way, you're going to 324 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: find out that those gimbal trims are roughly in the 325 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: area for most recess Can lights in about they're about 326 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: thirty five dollars. That's it, okay, led dimmable soft white 327 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: gimbal trims thirty five dollars per recess can light, all right. 328 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: So now, yeah, if you've got ten or you know, 329 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: recess can lights, that's three hundred and fifty dollars, okay, 330 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: And that's not cheap, but it is a radical transformation 331 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: of all the lighting in that space. For three hundred 332 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars, and you don't call out an electrician. 333 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: And you could run down to a place like a 334 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: big box store like Low's or home Depot this afternoon 335 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: and pick up those trims because they're sitting on the shelf, 336 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: yes they are, or your local lighting store because they're 337 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: sitting on the shelf, yes they are, and bring them 338 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: back home and by sunset today have those new trims 339 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: plugged in and aimed and change all the lighting in 340 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: your house.

Now, there's a 342 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: couple of things you need to know in order to 343 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: get it right so you're not waste your time at 344 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: the store.

Yeah, okay, okay, let's get back to the 379 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: things you need to know to transform the lighting in 380 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: your home. We were talking about recess can lighting. We're 381 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: talking about taking out the trim part, that's the removable 382 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: part of your recess can light, which you can do 383 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 1: removing that replacing that simple down light trim with a 384 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: movable trim which is called a gimbal trim. Okay, And 385 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: this will enable you to aim your recess can lights 386 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: away from the floor, which is where they shouldn't be aimed. 387 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: Two walls and things. Because what is the rule, the 388 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: one number one rule of lighting designed for a home. 389 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: We do not light rooms. We light things in rooms. 390 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, the reason for that is very 391 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: very simple one. The things are more interesting than the room. 392 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: Two straight down light in a room, worst kind of 393 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: lighting ever. Okay, no photographer will let ever tell you. 394 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna 395 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: hang a light directly over your head and then take 396 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: a picture of you. No, no, no. The third reason 397 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: that we don't just light the room that we light 398 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: things is that when we light things, we get the 399 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: room anyway. Because you know, these things are not lasers. 400 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: They're not so precise that they're only hitting one spot. 401 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: It's light, so it bounces off the wall, it bounces 402 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: off the piece of art that you're highlighting. And guess what, 403 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: the light makes it into the room anyway, and yet 404 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: it makes it at a soft reflected angle. More shadows. 405 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: Shadows are good. You don't want to get rid of 406 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: shadows because shadows are what gives a room texture and 407 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: romance and mood and depth and so on and so forth. 408 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's why we light things and not just 409 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: the room itself, because you get the room anyway. But 410 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: if you only light the room, you don't get the things. Eh, 411 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: So we want two for one. Okay, all right, here 412 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: are the three things you need to know in order 413 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: to accurately replace the trim that you are going to 414 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: pull out of your ceiling. The three things are have 415 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: a little tape measure with you you need to measure, 416 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: not the trim, don't worry about that. But once you've 417 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: pulled the trim out, I want you to measure the 418 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: size of the housing, the hole that's left up there. 419 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: Chances are, for ninety nine point nine percent of you 420 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: you're going to measure across the diameter of that housing. 421 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna find out it's a six inch housing, or 422 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: it's a five inch housing, or it's a four inch housing. 423 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: That's the thing you need to know. Okay, six, five 424 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: or four inch, how whatever the diameter of the housing is. 425 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: And if you have these little puck lights that have 426 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: just been cut as holes in the drywall, measure the 427 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: hole of the drywall. You got to know what that is, 428 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: Probably four inch hole left in the drywall. Measure the hole. 429 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: You need to have that bit of information. Number two 430 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: because trim's come in different sizes. Okay, So number two, 431 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: While you're up there on the ladder looking at that 432 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: canlight housing, see if you can't identify the manufacture of 433 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: the housing. See if you don't see a label up 434 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: inside that says you know, HALO or l K or 435 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, whatever the case may be. Any information possible, 436 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: and if you see any tag with any information or 437 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: serial numbers or anything like that. Stick your phone up 438 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: in there and take a picture of it so that 439 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: you can look online and find out who the manufacture 440 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: of that housing was. Because there's different brands and they 441 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: have different sometimes there are subtle differences. Okay, Because for instance, 442 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: I was talking about how the trims actually attach in 443 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: that housing. It's not the end of the world if 444 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: you have an off brand trim that goes into a housing. 445 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: The little clips are fairly universal, okay, So you got 446 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: a lot of options here. You have a lot of options. 447 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: But the point is you need to know the manufacture 448 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: if at all possible. Okay. And once we've got that 449 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: going on, the third and final thing is we need 450 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: to make sure that the new trim is going to 451 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: clip in to the existing housing so that power gets 452 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: into the trim. And like I said, they are either 453 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: these small clips that snap together or it is as 454 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: an older recessed housing, it's got like a light bulb 455 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: socket up in there, okay, and the trim itself has 456 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: a little adapter that screws in like a light bulb. 457 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: Either way, you're gonna take your existing trim with you 458 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: when you go to the big box store or the 459 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: hardware store or the lighting store, and you're like, here's 460 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: what plugs in to my lighthousing. And you're gonna make 461 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: sure that the new trim that you get has the 462 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: same clip or attachment to it. Once you've got those 463 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: three things taken care of, you know that, for instance, Oh, 464 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: it's a four inch can housing, so I'm looking for 465 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: a four inch trim and it's this brand, So I 466 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: need something that's either that brand or that brand compatible. 467 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: And here's the clip, and I need to make sure 468 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: that the new one has a clip just like this. 469 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: That's all you need to know. And you can pick 470 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: up those gimbal aimable housing trims and radically, radically change 471 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 1: the way lighting is looking inside the house. All Right, 472 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: we're going to return to this conversation. I've got so 473 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: much more to tell you. But when we come back, 474 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a couple of calls find out what's 475 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: going on with your house today.
