My mounting plate looks so different
How I wired if I don't have a color code cable?
Thanks :))
what about a crimped terminal? i'm worried about the stray strands etc
This was great, and somehow the only tutorial I could find on the internet to do anything like this! I had gotten a dud light bulb I got from Amazon stuck in my original bubble light and was able to use this tutorial to fix it. My only suggestion would be to link to the exact item, color and size of every item on the website. I ordered Zinc versions of a couple connectors and they didn't have the same threads, etc. But thank you so much for this!
Wondering the same thing as some of the other comments. How do you remove the cable out of the original bulb socket, to replace the cord? Would love to see a video on how to do that.
Are these able to be swagged? My connection socket in the ceiling is not directly over my dining room table, so I'd have to run the cord over about a foot to center the pendant above my dining room table.
Hi there, Thanks for watching. Of course, we offer several swag hook options on our website. They are easy to install and look great. Check them out here: www.colorcord.com/collections/swag-hooks
This might sound crazy but can this be done with 12/2 wire? I'm trying to do this with a plug in for wiring puck lights to a van
Hi there, Thanks for watching. We DO NOT recommend using the cord plug ends for any wire type other than SVT-3 and SVT-2 electrical wire. Feel free to reach out to us at info@colorcord.com for any further questions.
Tried to chat on ykur website but it wouldn't let me finish my question. .. can yku show the wiring process in detail ? I didn't see how to attach the main power cord
Hi there, Thank you for watching! Please reach out to us at info@colorcord.com for more detailed information on how to produce this fixture.
Didn't work. I'm trying to plug 2 wires (black & ivory) into e12 socket. The wires don't simply slide in, as they enter perpendicular to the metal face within the socket female connection.
Hi there, Did you loosen the terminal screws on the terminal piece? If you're having trouble, feel free to reach out to us on our website via chat or email us at info@colorcord.com .
Yellow snd green wire in a light fixture attached where?
Hi there, Thanks for watching. Feel free to send us a video or photo to info@colorcord.com so we can be sure to suggest how to properly attach!
You can just screw this in without an anchor to drywall??
Hey there, Yes, the set screw on the base of the Cord Stay acts as an anchor when threading it into the drywall. Feel free to reach us on chat on colorcord.com if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!
This helped me. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
You said black positive wire. There is no 'positive' or 'negative'. It's AC not DC. They alternate being positive and negative relative to each other. The RMS potential difference between the black is supposed to be greater than the white relative to the ground wire, hence why it's usually called the HOT side.
How do you get the wires out of the first one?
Hi there, You can check out our detailed video on how to cut and strip to expose the conductor wires here: czcams.com/video/w1_elD4pbqA/video.html Thanks for watching!
Hi - How much weight can this cary?
Hi there and thanks for watching! We recommend using shades under 15 pounds. Feel free to reach out to info@colorcord.com if you have additional questions, we're happy to help!
Hi! I’m trying to take off my GN bubble shade to clean it and can’t figure it out for the life of me! Do i have to remove the socket from the cord?? Thank you 😗💋
Hi Jen, Yes, you might have to remove the socket or the wiring from the ceiling canopy. It's hard to say without seeing photos of your specific fixture. Feel free to email photos info@colorcord.com and one of our customer happiness team members will be able to assist you! Thanks for watching!
@@colorcord you’re amazing, thank you!
Really nice and clear explanation. Have no idea about the strip gauge on the plug. Thank you!
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Does the ground screw in the mounting bracket need to lineup anywhere specific on the light fixture?
Hi there, No it shouldn't matter as the ground screw has a small profile and fits underneath the canopy of the light fixture. Thanks for watching!
Thanks,… I needed that
Thanks for watching!
What is the size of the wood?
Hi there, Thanks for watching! This particular piece of wood was roughly 48"x 9" x 7"
This video should be removed. They are referring to line voltage as hot and neutral. They are clueless and just making a video to make a video.
10/10 video
Какой вы молодец! 👍😁
Mine came with an earth wire, what do I do with it? It's attached to nothing at one end. TIA
Hi Marie, So it sounds like your light fixture does not have plug-in capability. If you want to send us photos of your fixture to info@colorcord.com one of customer service members would be happy to assist you. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial! Which color of cord is this? Off white?
Hi Matt, We're glad you enjoyed it! I do believe that is our Cotton Blend in White, which has an off white look to it. You can find it here: www.colorcord.com/products/diy-fabric-wire-by-the-foot-white-cotton-blend?variant=12363341135974 Thanks for watching!
When he says 'neutral' referring to the first screw and the green wire, he meant 'ground' wire / screw. Pretty obvious, but that mistake could be very confusing to people who aren't familiar with electrical work, and who are watching this video for instructional purposes!
I have a 2 port canopy. Do I wire by combining all like wires from the fixture to the junction box with individual wire nuts?
Hi James, Thanks for watching! Yes, the same principle applies, but you will combine the second port's positive and negative wires with the others. Feel free to reach out to info@colorcord.com or give us a call (800) 409-1070 if you have any further questions or concerns.
Terrible electrical work. When using wiring nuts, align the trimmed ends, put them into the wire nut and twist. You may feel the wire nut bottom out - keep going. The wires coming together should wrap around each other twice before you stop twisting the wire nut. Do NOT use electrical tape. Use the right size wire nut for the wires. Do NOT pre twist the wires together - you may end up untwisting them with the wire nut. Let the wire nut do the work.

I’m having a hard time getting the tiny screw that goes into the canopy and mountain bracket to match up. Any advice?
Hi Katy, Is your canopy set up from Color Cord Company? Please give us a call at 800 409 1070 or email info@colorcord.com and we can help you out!
I wanted to say this is a great tutorial but it presumes (without showing how) that you can remove the existing cord hardware from the pendant. In my experience this piece seems to be glued together making the installation as pictured here impossible. However, I’d love to hear how it’s done if someone has succeeded.
Hello, Thank you for watching! So in this particular shade's case the metal bracket that supports the socket is glued to the shade material itself, but the socket on this one was removed with a wrench. Feel free to send us photos at info@colorcord.com and we can see how we can help!
having the same issue unfortunately... emailed HermanMiller to see if they have any guidance on how to remove the original wiring and bulb socket
Any update here. I’m trying to do the same thing
Um... Positive and Negative????? How about remaking this and mentioning HOT and NEUTRAL wires instead.
Came to mention this. It is a significant error.
Hello, I'm looking for that stainless steel base plate that went to your garage can. That's the original style. Where can I get one of those? Would you have any?
Hi Alan, Thanks for watching! Unfortunately we do not carry original Nelson Bubble parts, but of course you can rewire on using our Color Cord DIY Lamp Parts!

How can you mount it so that the bulb is facing up (not hanging)?
Hello, Thank you for watching! To mount the sockets so that they are facing up, you would essentially need to sandwich the ring between a 1" All Thread and thread on couplers to each side. This should allow the socket to sit facing up and be in a fixed position. Here are those DIY Lamp Parts: All Thread: www.colorcord.com/products/1-8-ips-all-thread-nipple?variant=39290359611494 Couplers: www.colorcord.com/products/3-8-coupler?variant=12363339956326 Feel free to reach out to info@colorcord.com with any further questions or concerns!
Brass is for hot, silver for neutral. Positive & negative are D.C. wiring & this is A.C. wiring!
How long is drying time? And should it be suspended in the air as it dries, so the string doesnt get gooped on the bottom? I planned to make some of these for a while now but the time has come! Thanks
Hi there, Thanks for watching! 24 hours is the recommended dry time! We let it dry for 24 hours in a suspended position, but if you need it to dry quicker you can use a hairdryer at medium fan speed at high heat. Feel free to reach out to info@colorcord.com if you have any further questions or concerns!
Hello! how much cord should I buy for this light to look as pictured?
Hi Nick! Thanks for watching! The cord length depends on several different things: 1. The size of the beam. 2. Number of wraps preferred around the beam per pendant. 3. The length you wish to have the pendants drop below the beam. In the case of this project it was roughly 15-20ft of cord (keep in mind you can cut the cord down if that is too much). We'd recommend acquiring the beam first and then go from there!
Thank you for the steps by steps instructions
Do you know if you can use a j adapter so you can hang a bubble pendant from a j track?
Hi Dorene, Thanks for watching! Yes, as long as you can properly suspend the socket pendant from the shade you should be able to hang it from a j track. Feel free to reach out to info@colorcord.com for any further questions or concerns!
Great stuff
I see only one of them has a green cable, what about the other three? (minute 1:41)
Hi Luis, Thanks for your comment! When wiring multiple sockets together you can wire just one ground wire coming from the socket to connect to the ground wire of the cloth covered wire and the entire fixture will be grounded. Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Thank YOU for watching!
That's not cloth covered wire. That's cloth wrapped cable.
waaaaait a second . . . so you are telling me my mounting bracket can extend OVER the wall material?! I thought it all had to be INSIDE the box! This might really help me out as my wall material is 1" boards and my husband told me everything had to be mounted to 1/4" from the edge . . . makes it a real trick to get things installed correctly! All of the mounting hardware that came with my lights fit INSIDE the box . . . but I did buy 2 new ones and these have telescoping arms, which didn't make any sense to me at that time, but maybe they might be worth trying! PS . . . why is your light box so wiggly?? Maybe because mine are spray foamed in they don't move and normally they might??
Hi! Yep, depending on the ceiling canopy you use the bracket can extend over the J-Box! Our J-Box is wiggly because it is installed into our photo studio to shoot all of our content. Thanks for watching!
how the hell does this thing hang without the globe just falling to the floor? Lol there was no explanation on what to use to secure the cord to the lamp shade itself.
Hi! Sorry for the confusion. You may notice the metal hook coming out of the middle 4th port of the canopy; we simply used more twine and attached it to the string shade and round hook. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the excellent explanation 👍
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Do you have a ceramic or porcelain mc4 connector for solar..?.the current plastic ones is not very suitable for large farms..
Thank you
