DIY Recessed Light Installation

The IC-rated pot light installed inside vapour barrier tub
Originally uploaded by Vincent Ma.

The dear wife nagged me about wanting pot lights for our living room, which our builder never installed a ceiling fixture.

We asked around, and the cheapest is $80-110 a pop, but they require that we install at least 6 lights.

That's too expensive for us. So, I did it myself.

The process was documented on flickr, as usual!

Light bulbs for my light fixture in the den

Mostly to remind myself, the bulb I need to get for the light fixture in my den is E14. Something unusual for North America, I guess since the fixture came from Hong Kong.

DIY Vanity Light Installation

The wife hated the strip light the builders installed in our washrooms. So I decided to rip them out and replace with better looking vanity lights.

As usual, I was my own photo-journalist and the pictures are up on Flickr.
