I currently have four recessed ceiling cans or "hi hats" with GE Reveal R20’s (floodlights) in there and while the quality of light is good, it looks like the bulb is sitting a little too deep giving each one a spotlight affect. Should I use physically larger bulbs like an R30, R20’s with a higher wattage, or can I adjust the height of the existing lights within the fixture?
It keeps on happening no matter what brand of bulbs I use,
A few years ago I bought some inexpensive track lighting, actually the lights where permanently fixed, but there was a 3′ section and a 2′ section that used regular bulbs and they where cheap; each whole fixture was maybe ish. Where can I find inexpensive track lighting?
there are two grey wires in the light no longer being used and also a green and yellow wire unused, the old light fitting could take six bulbs but this new light is a single fitting.
My hallway has 5 recessed can lights each with a 75watt bulb operated on the same switch. I would like to install a 5-bulb halogen track light in the middle of the hallway to illuminate wall art. Can I remove the bulb and insert from the middle cannister fixture, cut the wires to the bulb receptacle and use the same wires to power up the track light. The track light with 5 bulbs will consume 150 watts through a low voltage transformer. Is this safe? The cannister light sticker says 75-watts maximum.
i just bought a new track light for my bathroom but the bulbs are halogen, is it suitable to hook them up in the bathroom or will it look bad
thank you
I tried replacing the bulbs, but they still don’t work.

The bulb that works is the one closest to the power inlet.
I have checked the fuse box trip switch and replaced the bulbs but no luck. What should I do?
I replaced a ceiling fan/light, which was attached to a wall-mounted dimmer switch, with a pendant light. The dimmer has an on/off switch as well as a slide bar to control the brightness of the light. The dimmer did not control the fan before and only controlled the fan’s light. The circuit breaker was triggered during installation and had to be reset. I used one of the bulbs from the fan for the new pendant light. While the new light turns on/off with the switch, it does not dim. The light stays at its brightest regardless of where the slide bar is moved. Did the dimmer switch get damaged? Should I replace it? If not, why does the dimmer not work on my new pendant light when it worked 30 minutes before with the fan light and same bulb?
I have a vaulted ceiling in my kitchen and it is hard to reach the bulbs to change, so I want to put pendant light on the existing track so I can reach a little easier, and give it a new look
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 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 bought a 3 lite pendant fixture 2 months ago and the bulbs keep burning out. So far 4 bulbs have burnt out. What could be the problem? I don´t have the receipt so I can´t take it back.
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.
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.
