Our ceiling fan lights do not work, but the fan does. We have checked the wiring in the ceiling fan and the wall switch and everything looks fine. (However, I am by far a novice at this). There is a double wall switch one for the light and one for the fan Any suggestions?

do they make cfl bulbs that I could place in my recessed lighting in my living room? right now it looks like the bulbs in them are simliar to a flood light bulb, it probably is not, but thats what they look like. Also these lights have dimmers on them, I figure i’d have to find a light that is ok with dimming
I also have 6 bulbs in my bathroom vanity that i would like to replace as well, i believe the sockets on those are smaller than the standard cfl bulb.

thoughts?
how much were the cfl for your recessed lighting at walmart?

my vanity lights are not as big as an orange, they are a bit smaller..

I travel on business very often and I have stayed in many types of hotels, from luxury to budget class. I have noticed that virtually all modern hotels (built in the last 30-40 years) have no ceiling light fixtures in their rooms, only desk lamps or floor lamps. Why is this?

We bought a house with ceiling fans. The fans are nice but the lights hanging down from the middle of the fans (below the blades) are horrible. I’d like to just remove the lights and put a plain cap in their place.

I can figure out how to remove them, but where can I get a cap? I can’t find the name of a manufacturer on the fans. I’ve looked at fan sites online to find parts, but I haven’t seen any kind of "cap" that I’m looking for. Asking at Home Depot wasn’t helpful either.

Does anyone know where I could get a "cap" like this?

I was unsure whether it used the un-needed electric in another way as it will still be going towards the bulb?

I have checked the fuse box trip switch and replaced the bulbs but no luck. What should I do?

The light fixture popped and sparks flew, but the light was not turned. The breaker did not blow and the light is functional. Um, should I worry?

i want to hang blue icicle lights on my ceiling. but how? I have regular christmas lights around the edge of my ceiling and i use these: http://www.3m.com/us/home_leisure/command/products/decoratingclips.jhtml . They work okay but I’m worried that the icicle lights will be heavier, especially if they’re hanging from the ceiling.

I’m sure I will end up trying it I’m looking for other ideas.

i do not want to staple or use nails or tacks because i don’t want to damage my ceiling and i don’t think they’ll stay in my ceiling. I will probably try sticky-tack.

I have a ceiling fan in my living room that doesn’t have lights. Can I easily install a ceiling fan with lighting? What would I have to do to add lighting in my living room? There is no overhead lights at all. It is a house, not an apartment.

Power is in one of the switch boxes, where it now is a single switch, but am adding 3-way switches, one at the original single switch point and another with the traveler wire between the the two switches. My question is how to wire from the power source and switch to the first of four lights. Do I wire the white wires together and the blacks are the power pigtails to each light or am I thinking that wrong? 3 way switches I understand basics, but not sure how the lights are inter connected . I have rough wired the light outlets from first thru the fourth light with last light outlet having the switch leg going to the 2nd 3 way switch.

this is the right page sorry

As in hard wired so that it can be turned on and off via light switch? If not what would be a better alternative to this type of idea, I realize small bulbs could have the same effect I am looking for but what would then be the best way to wire them to connect to the single sorce (I am going for a hanging loose chandelier look)?

I have this extra red wire coming from the ceiling outlet. This is a new home. The instruction manual for the ceiling fan did not talk about a red wire. this is what I did…
Ceiling Groundwire to Fan Green wire
Ceiling White wire to Fan White wire
Ceiling Black wire to Fan Black wire AND Blue wire. The fan works but the lights don’t.
What is this red wire for too? AM I supposed to attach the blue wire to the red one?
The light housing is connected to the fan housing already. That should not be the problem.

Is this possible???

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?

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?

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 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? Im not trying to make small hanging icicles or anything, just lines of light going across, something like the link im giving below, just on a smaller scale
