What happens here

For situations where a single electrical wire is exposed (not bundled with others), and a wire nut might not stay securely attached, the presenter recommends an additional step. After screwing the wire nut onto the single wire, he suggests using a piece of painter's tape to wrap around the wire nut and the wire, securing it further to prevent it from falling off. This ensures the wire remains safe and easy to locate for reinstallation.

attention make sure if they want to replace those lights or get those sensor covers repaired do that before you reinstall them there's three lights right here they're all hooked up in line but we got single wire right here and the single wire then the wire nut will not screw on and stay on so you want to make sure that thing doesn't fall off so i'm gonna just take a piece of tape and i'm going to put a piece of tape on there that's going to secure that wire nut on there so it does not fall off now i can put these back in place i don't want to lose wire nuts and be hunting hunting all over for them
