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?

My husband and I have never installed any type of light fixture before. We just bought a house with a large kitchen. There is only one celing fan in the middle. We would like to put track lighting in by the stove and prep area and some sort of celing fixture over the kitchen table. Is it very complicated to install new fixtures? It always looks easy on HGTV, but I know those are professionals.

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 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.

We have a new island and want to install 3 pendant lights above it. We have removed the old single existing light fixture however this hole is not in the correct location for the 3 new lights so we need to make 3 new "holes" and run the wiring for the new lights. Can anyone give us advice on how to go about this? The bedrooms/2nd floor is above the kitchen. Thanks!
