Additional bathroom lighting
The light in our bathroom started going all disco crazy on us, so had to order a new one. Ordered the wrong size, just so happens the sizes are for the dome, not the back that goes in the hole. Keep that in mind if you need one in the future. Had a couple lights that were too small, so fixed an issue my wife had complained about in the past, not enough light when looking in the mirror. Guess I’m just good enough at putting on my make up that it didn’t bother me.
Top two are the ones that I ordered first. Bottom is the correct one and already replaced the strobey one, so still have an extra. Possible ideal for it.
Marked off two spots 5 1/2” from the face of the cabinet and 5” from each side of the cabinet. Puts them out far enough that reflect off the mirror and bit, but not to far to be too close to the other light.
Holes cut and wires fished through. Whole project would have been pretty quick if I would have had a hole bit. We are full time so my tools are limited. Used a jig saw blade by hand. Fishing the wires was easy with a coat hanger, there is a truss in between, but no problem.
And all lit up!
If you haven’t messed with these lights before, take heed. The things are like rat traps, be mindful of where your fingers are in relation to the springs that hold them in. Especially when taking them out!Chris and Karen - currently on the coast of the Olympic Peninsula

It’s not that bad though to do. I did it while mine was at work and I had the 4 and 5 year old on my own and finished in less than an hour. Would have been probably 20 minutes if I had a hole bit and. no I’m thirsty, I’m hungry, bubba is looking at me and sissy touched me interruptions. . Now to see how long it takes her to notice it!

After a couple trips into the bathroom to get something out of the medicine cabinet and not noticing, our four year old finally asked if she liked the new lights. Once she realized they were there she loved it.
This is why I love to do projects while she’s not around, get to see how long it takes for her to notice. Had to replace the belt on the drier in our former stick and brick once. While I had the stacked unit out of the closet sized laundry room I decided to use up some extra paint and laminate flooring from other projects to spiffy it up. Went from white to a slate gray walls, bare plywood to hardwood looking floor and even trimmed out the window with nice stained wood. Three days later of going in and out she finally asked noticed something was different! I love it.Chris and Karen - currently on the coast of the Olympic Peninsula

So can one of you describe how you fished around the trusses? Squeeze between the ceiling panel and the truss?

Once you remove the original light use the fish and go up to the roof and you should go over the truss. Give it a try and let us know.

We just changed the motion light in the bathroom to a regular one. The main light in the bathroom was behind your head when standing at the mirror, the motion light was directly over the sink. We were always turning on the motion light along with the main light in there, so we made it so both light work off the light switch.
