What happens here

Before starting any work on electrical fixtures, ensure the power is off at the source. This can be done by flipping the corresponding breaker in the electrical panel or turning off the switch if one is available. This crucial safety step prevents electrical shock. The video narrator emphasizes that motion-sensor lights might still have power even in the daytime, making this step essential.

they're going to stay right with the light now when it comes to undoing the wire nuts on this light i like wearing rubber gloves and that's kind of an insulation so you don't get shocked you don't know if the the lights are on or off these have got sensors on them that would turn them off in the day they would have power at all times and the sensor would turn it off in the daytime so i'm going to now use my rubber gloves
