Six Steps to Soffit Lighting Installation is a video about planning and wiring led lights in soffits.

The best way to illuminate the outside of your home is with a pot light.It is a type of lighting that projects a downward light direction.The light's only visible area will be the trim.In a home environment, you can install lighting in the kitchen, bathroom, library, den, and theatre room.

Identifying the areas where you want to install the lights is the first thing you need to do.Make sure the area is large enough for the installation.The height of the light fixture should be at least five and one-half inches.Cut the holes with a saw after tracing the template of the remodel pot light fixture.

If you want to prevent an electric shock, turn the breaker off at the main panel.You can run a 14/2 non-metallic cable from the switch to the closest hole.You have to leave an extra ten inches of cable hanging out from every hole for the actual light wiring and installation.Until they're all covered, forward the cable onto the next openings.

Put the wire from the switch and the one going to the next lights into the electrical box at the first pot light opening.The process for all the pot lights should be repeated.

Use a pair of wire strippers to remove six inches of the non-metallic cables from the soffit.The bare copper conductor needs to be seen along with the other colored wires.If you want to remove insulation from all the conductors, use the wire stripper again.
