Installing an Outdoor Wall Sconce Video

Bob meets Brad Owen the electrician who is installing exterior wall sconces in series. What is unique about the lights is they are fluorescent fixtures with a ballast, and fluorescent lights are very energy efficient. The electrician is connecting the fixture wiring with the house's field wiring. He connects hot to hot, neutral to neutral and ground to ground. This Lightolier fixture also has a very neat feature. It has a safety cable that holds the glass cover while replacing bulbs or servicing the fixture.
