We’re looking at adding 4 sets of halogen track lights to a room. Each set contains four 50 watt halogen lights. (200 watts per 4′ section.) I’d like to add them to a single run of track around 16′ in length. Portfolio lighting doesn’t specify the maximum lights per circuit. "Consult an electrician." (Item #233131) Can I put all 16 lamps on one circuit? If I divide them, how many circuits do I need?

I’m looking to install track lighting in my apartment. Currently my apartment has one light fixture in the middle of the room. I want to replace this light fixture with a set of track lights on either side of the room and a ceiling fan where the original fixture is. Is this something that a relative novice can do? Or should I hire an electrician?

Attention all of you gardeners and decorators out there,
I have an outdoor pendant light I would like to hang on my patio. The problem is that the cord is so unsightly. Any ideas on what I can do to cover it? I tried to put chain over it but the plug is too big to fit through the chain and I’m not an electrician so I don’t want to attempt any wiring. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

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?

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?

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 want to hang 2 pendant lights over my kitchen sink, but I don’t want to have to have an electrician come in. Wanting to do some minor, less expensive changes to my kitchen, and noticed more light is needed over the sink area. Any ideas or am I going to have to call an electrician in?
