@ 4:55 you mention having to replace the junction box, because when you install the bracket, it has to be on a stud. The existing junction box, was not positioned correctly for this new bracket, BUT, then at 8:12, you're screwing mounting bracket into junction box. What happened to the INSTALLATION OF THE NEW JUNCTION BOX?

I want to mention that if the existing light fixture is on a dimmer, and there is no separate hot wire, the dimmer must be removed. If there is a separate hot wire, motor must be either wired to hot wire that isn't on a dimmer, or the dimmer must be removed. Fan motor should not be on dimmers, but fan lights can be on a dimmer as long as the dimmer only controls lights and the motor is 100% independent from it. Just a common mistake people including some electrician make when replacing a light fixture with a ceiling fan.

The boxes only 2 wires in them so the ground wires on the fixtures were secured to the metal plate that came with them. I want a ceiling fan in my living room but I’m sure the wiring is the same as in the kitchen. Am I just not able to install a fan? I’m not smart at this kind of stuff so not sure if this will work for me.

Hello! I am trying to install a ceiling fan but my problem is there only seems to be a ground wire coming from the mounting piece and none from the actual lamp, only the blue (light) and the black and white. Is it possible it is a defect and the lamp is missing it, or is that something normal? I tried connecting it regardless and the lamp works when I use the pulleys but if I use the wall switch the breaker flips. If you have any tips it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you 😊
