Install Interior Electrical Fixtures

What happens in this clip

The next step is to install interior electrical fixtures. Begin by locating pre-installed cables using floor plans or careful measurements. Mark out the positions for downlights and speakers on the ceiling. Use a specialized hole saw bit (avoiding potentially dangerous adjustable cutters) with a drill to cut circular holes in the plasterboard ceiling. Pull the electrical cables through these holes. For smart switches and sockets, wire them according to electrical codes, ensure they are level, secure them to the wall, and remove any protective films. These smart devices allow remote control via a smartphone app.

Goal: Install recessed lighting, speakers, smart switches, and sockets
