I think I heard that it’s against the city’s code to have recessed lighting. Only flourescents are permitted. Has anyone heard of this? Does anyone know why recessed lighting would be against code?

Twlight Zone2 asked:


I am looking for lighting that provides light similar to that as if being outside. There are various bulbs out there that may say daylight or even those that have no frost covering the inside of the bulb, what is best. I want to redesign my bathroom and I would like to use the most natural lighting I can get.
Thank you

I’m moving into an apartment that doesn’t have celing fans or lighting in the bedrooms. Since I’m a college student and will probably be up late doing homework in my room, what kind of lamp would provide optimal lighting?

My eyes aren’t very good in dim lighting, so I’d like something that will make my room pretty bright.

I am going to use a 30 degree flood, 60 watt, par 16 for the rest of the recessed lights and am wondering if I should use the same for the wall washer. I am trying to light up a fireplace.

gonzldjfwrrr asked:


We have a set of fluorescent lights in our kitchen. When we throw the switch: Sometimes they immediately light up. Sometimes they light up after a time. Sometimes they never light up at all. It seems they are taking longer and longer to light up. What should I do to have them light up when I turn them on?

the man asked:


Please suggest an alternative to recessed lighting that is inexpensive yet effective.

I have an aluminum wired home built in 1975. I was going to add a bathroom exhaust fan, and now realize after research about arcing issues between aluminum/copper wirings. Does this mean that I can’t add much other than aluminum rated light switches to my home. I was planning on adding the earlier mentioned bathroom exhaust, and adding can lights to brighten the place up.

I’ve had a Home Staging company ask if we would set up lighting in the fronts of homes for customers who are selling their homes. I was wondering if the realty community had any opinions on the value of quality landscape lighting. I’m not talking the store bought cheap fixtures – either solar or plastic light kits, but metal low voltage lights for the sidewalks, lighting for pillars and brick/stone face, along with any trees etc.
