I have too, when I was an apartment manager 35 years ago. Thankfully, not since then.

I was replacing a dusk to dawn light with a Ring camera and found out that the person before me liked to switch the neutral wire. :astonished:

Looks good to me. My only complaint is I'd use a black power strip, so it blends w/the TV/mount. That white cord/power strip is a rookie error. :wink:

These "Friend installs" are the souce of so much risk. My wife's sister had a (luckily small and quickly extinguished) house fire from some bizarre wiring job a friend of her husband's did that spontaneously started a fire. If they had been away from home or asleep, could have been a big problem.
