Hooked up new pot lights in the house today

My electrician friend gave me a hand to add more lighting in the upstairs bathroom today. These are the neatest lights I?ve ever seen for home lighting thus far. The box has a transformer inside converting to 12v dc. You just strip about 3/4? of wire and they slide and lock into circuit joiners. They don?t even need a box to mount them off of. They?re so lightweight all they need is a 4? hole cut with a hole saw in the gyprock fold the spring loaded tabs and shove them up and your done. Tons of light and super cheap. My friend said the older style pot lights you could count on an hour per light to install,these ones took us 10 min each after we got the wire run. He bought a kit of Milwaukee tools awhile ago and other than a few uses of the circular saw never used them at all. The kit originally included a big work light and a few 4AH batteries which he really wanted and offered these to me if I wanted them. Didn?t take me long to say thank you lol. We ordered a couple new batteries off Amazon so I can run them. They?re not brushless motors but most of it will only get limited use on the job. Once I start getting bigger drills I?ll hold out for brushless ones.

is pot legal there? lol

Haha I guess it is 😄

I thought it was lights for growing pot. Ugghhh. Lol

Those are great lights , we just did a job where we used them in a bedroom , bath and living room. They snap into place so nicely , the balasts tuck up in and they are easy to work with !

Me too.

Those look nice. I just installed a couple halogen style last weekend. I would of used the type you installed l, but I had these new in box left over from a project that changed direction. However, I did not use the halogen bulbs because they get too darn hot and use alot of power. I ordered some PAR30 short neck LED bulbs for them and we are very happy with them. Your posting title is funny, I had never heard of them called pot lights... but I call them can lights! Same darn thing but in this day and age of marijuana legalization and what not- my mind went there.

Id I were putting in new "pot" lights I wouldn't be advertising it.

Nice kit! Those are the same ones I have.

I thought you were growing a crop.

Learned some new stuff today. Never heard of can lights called pot lights and never heard of drywall called gyprock. Again, must be a regional thing.

Lol it must be,I?ve never heard of can lights but many people say drywall here. I think gyprock was a brand name when they first started selling it here.
