In this video, I decided to do something a bit different: Install a Dumb Light. That’s right, a dumb light. No WIFI, no Zigbee, no Z-Wave, and not even RF433. It’s just an LED can light, without the can. Sometimes you need a light in a place where it’s just too much trouble to make it smart. Actually, the smartest thing about this light is the fact that it’s a dumb pull chain light. It will only be turned on for about an hour a year while I service some of the plumbing.
The light itself cost me a dollar from an Amazon Box return shop during dollar day, so there’s no major investment here. Additionally, I used a recycled electrical switch box, a recycled porcelain lamp holder with a pull string, an old extension cord, a couple of screws, zip-ties, and maybe a piece of rusty chain. The total investment was just $1.00!
If you’re looking to install a dumb light onto a temporary other dumb light, this is the video for you. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense solution that gets the job done without the need for smart technology. Join me as I walk you through the process and show you how easy it can be.
