I was changing it was a regular 60 or 100 watt bulb but a few months ago I decided to use a halogen bulb and that one wore out so quickly too. Why do I have to change this bulb so frequently?

I am using high-resolution textures on my 3D figures but when I render an image, I am losing that photorealistic feel the textures were giving to my 3D characters. My lighting needs to be setup properly but I wonder what would be the best one…

Please be specific. Include wiring instructions if possible.

I had an electrician install a set of ceiling lights on the same circuit. The bulbs blow, one at a time when I turned on the lights over a 2 month period, before I call in another electrician what could the problem be?

I am changing my light fittings and currently the ones i have all hold multiple ses bulbs.I have energy saving bulbs in all of them.Is it possible to get pendant fittings that hold just 1 ses bulb as these are expensive and i have loads of em.

I was watching a show on HGTV recently called Light It Up, it’s a show all about lighting your house. They showed a pendent light that screwed into a recessed can socket just like a light bulb. Anybody know where I can purchase this and about how much do they cost?

Thanks

The ceiling fan works, but the lights do not. Thought it was the switch inside the unit, so I replaced it, but the lights still do not light. Any ideas?
Duh. Of course I checked the bulbs. They are fine.

For the bathroom I’m looking for one with three bulbs and for the bedroom a flush mount. my bedroom is aqua.
i’m not sure about the other details. and could you also add pictures with your answers?

I have 27" room (from the point on the ceiling where I will hang the light to the top of the doorway.) Pendant light sizes range from 10" up to over 20". I dont want it to look too small or too big for the doorway. Most of the ones I like are around 15". Will that look too big?

you must be able to walk on this lighting.

I wanted to attach some white christmas lights to my ceiling (inside bedroom, i know, cheap and tacky, but whatever) , but im renting and dont want to drill any hooks or anything, what should i use?

I run 2 pond pumps and 4 sets of garden lighting through my electricity supply and would like to change this so it runs from solar power panels on top of my garage roof.
Can anyone give me advice on what size panels I need, how many and how i actually install this.
Please help as I would love to cut down my carbon footprint but want to keep my garden looking pretty.

you know the lights that have the covers on them and r normally rectangular… in classrooms…. then die cuz they starve lol how do they get there???

I have a small island its 26 inches wide and 42 inches long. i picked up a pendant light the kind that is colored glass and kind of longish in shape . Its 5-3/4 " W x 73 " H. Is one enough or do I need more, and if I need more how do I space them?
those are the assembled dimensions that are printed on the box. its not that big the box is 16 inch by 7 inch

Am I able to place my 2 pendant lights above the kitchen peninsula anywhere on want on the ceiling? The canopy need to connect to a junction box. Would the electrician screw the canopy onto the ceiling and then wired it to the junction box? Or does he need to find a stud so I am limited to where I want it placed?

want to get track and wire lighting for my house, basically 2 wires hangs just below the ceiling and a spotlight hangs between the 2 wires…….any ideas what london shops sells these….need them urgent so i cant order off internet? and if anyone knows the price i would pay for these or price for installation?

Note that I have 12-2 cable going to switch#1 and can send 12-3 to switch #2. I just don’t entirely understand the specific as to what wire connects to what terminal at switch #1 , switch #2 and the first light. I’ve got all the lights connected to each other using 12-2 they just need to be hooked up correctly to switch #1 to start working. Any tips, thanks a billion!

We’re building on a large extension and had some input from an interior designer. She recommended strongly that we use a local lighting consultants to advice on type, placing etc of lights. We’ve never heard the term before and our friends think we’re mad to spend money on this. Has anyone used one and if so would you recommend it?
Phew, that’s a lot of questions Gare – I’ll have to think about them. Makes me wonder if the LC idea is more suitable for a total new build or a suite of offices. We just don’t want to make any mistakes – maybe we just need a better interior designer!

At first I was having trouble with my air conditioner blowing a fuse. (Yes, the previous owners left half of the house on a fuse box and put the half on a circuit box). I ran down to the basement and put in a new one and it would instantly blow agin. So… I unplugged the air conditioner cleaned the bugger out and then tried putting in a new fuse. Then I went back up stairs and plug the darn thing in and . . . poof! Sparks flew every where around the outlet. Now here’s the thing, I have been using that darn air conditioner all summer long with no problems what so ever. About 4 boxes of fuses (keep in mind there are 4 fuses per box) later. I now am unable to turn my ceiling lights on in half of my house. I would call an electrician but my stubborn husband won’t let me. He says it’s too expensive. Anyone have any idea what the problem is and how much it might cost me if I do call an electrician.

I need something that isn’t directional (like a spotlight), but rather more like a regular light fixture that spreads light in all directions. And I want it to be low-profile, so it doesn’t extend very far below the ceiling. If this exists, please direct me to a website with an example. I won’t choose yours as best answer unless you give me a link.
