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!

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’m remodeling a family farmhouse and want to use these to retain some old character. I only have the glass — the saucer type. They have three holes around the perimeter of the glass, so I’m guessing they hung from the original ceiling fixtures by beaded chain or something.

I’m semi-handy and can wire. Are there new fixtures I could buy that hang like this so I could change out the glass? Or should I make something from scratch, and how?

I bought a new house and one ceiling light blinks and buzzes and sounds almost dangerous so I don’t use it. Another flickers and takes a few seconds to come on but otherwise is OK. Are these potentially dangerous? Is it most likely wiring or the fixture itself?
If it is a ballast problem, should I and can I easily replace it? It’s in my daughter’s room and sounds awful.

I have can ceiling lights with flood lights. Does anyone make compact flourescent flood lights for can lighting.

I am hoping that a ceiling fan with 4 60watt bulbs will be stronger light than one 300watt halogen light floor lamp facing the ceiling.

The electrrical system in the house has circuit breakers but someone said that wouldnt shut the fixture off if the wires heated up due to the increase in amperes and it could start a fire in the house ceiling. I was told that you have to change the wiring to a wall or ceiling fixture if you increase the number of light bulbs by putting in a new fixture with so many more bulbs. True or not?

have 60watt ceiling lights in fan, can I use them energy saving lights instead? there are the 13 watt lights

I purchased a big package of CFLs hoping to switch out the bulbs all over the house. Well, I have found one socket to date where the CFL will work. Many of my ceiling lights are on dimmers, so I suspect this is the cause for these lights; however, in lamps and other ceiling fixtures (no dimmer), the bulbs do not work. Any ideas??? Thanks.

Our rented bungalow is lighted with 220 volts electricity. After 6 months my ceiling lights dimmed into 110 volts but all my outlets are still 220 volts. I checked the circuit breaker for ceiling lights and they are ok. Did the previous occupants tampered the power supply?

My kitchen’s ceiling lights are warm fluorescent tubes. Is it okay to have under cabinet lights of color temperature different from that of fluorescent, like halogen lights? Or, are there any non-fluorescent under cabinet lights that have the same color temperature of warm fluorescent kitchen light?

Hello everyone. I had a question about ceiling lights. My living room definitely needs more light and I don’t really want to have lamps or halogen lamps everywhere. I’d rather have a clean look with ceiling lights. However, I’ve never done this before. Someone told me that I would need to make sure that the house was prewired for that. Does anyone have experience with this? Where would I have to go to get this kind of work done? The house was built in 2001. Thank you
