How to stop light bulbs failing?
Michael J asked:
We’ve always had a slight problem with light bulbs in the livingroom, but recently the problem seems to be getting worse.
We were rewired last year so ther are no problems with the wiring and the light fixture is fairly new . Please help I am sick of changing light bulbs.

My light went out in my bathroom so I went and bought some 100 watt light bulbs, but when I got home I noticed the light said 75 watts was the max….Will my bathroom catch on fire? So far all I’ve put is one of the 100 watt light bulbs in but I was wondering will it be ok to put the second one in…

How to change a light bulb on chandelier where bulbs are facing up?
dimka448 asked:
I live in house with 2 story foyer. In that foyer I have a chandelier with few light bulbs that I need to change. The height is approximately 16 feet. The problem is that the light bulbs are facing up so devises like light bulb changers with long poll will not work. Being on the on the second floor – it is closer to the chandelier but still out of reach. Anybody can suggest an effective solution on how to change a light bulbs in my case without hiring a contractor?

newjersey314 asked:
I live in an older apartment on the second floor of a house. My landlord has been away for the weekend and I am by no means an electrician so I cannot fix this problem. However, I have a broken light switch. The light in the bathroom is now constantly on and I cannot control it with the light switch. Is this dangerous?

jDAGger asked:
I built a bulkhead above my kitchen counters and installed recessed lighting that runs off of an on/off switch with a dimmer control. After the first light bulb burned out, the dimmer function stopped working. Now they will only turn on and off, but not dim. Is this because of the burned out light bulb or is something wrong with the switch?

Why does my recessed light continually turn on and off on it’s own?
tgdesigns98 asked:
I have a recessed light on a 20 amp circuit. It is on a three outlet switch in a bathroom. I have the ceiling light, vent fan and recessed light on the same switch. Does the light have a heat overload sensor on it to keep it from getting too hot? The fan and ceiling light stay on while the recessed light will stay on and then go off. After a short time it will come back on. When it kicks off I have tried flipping the breaker and the switch, but it still takes time for it to come back on. Any ideas?

What would cause a light fixture to be brighter at times and noticeably not as bright other times?
Andrew asked:
I have a light fixture (a 5 light bulb ceiling hanging dining thing) that seems as bright as a light fixture should be sometimes and dim as if it were on a dimmer set to 50% other times. I can physically see the light bulbs and they are all lit. They’re just your stereotypical style light bulb at an average wattage.
the light bulbs are 12W

I want to learn how to do basic electrical wiring and lighting in my home. What’s a good resource?
Jeffrey Mc asked:
I’m looking for a resource for a complete novice — a good book, seminar, that sort of thing. How do people learn to do home wiring?

how can I test to see if my new (old) home’s wiring for exterior lighting still works?
fu shnickens asked:
The lamp doesn’t work, but before I go to Home Depot to pick up a new one, I want to make sure that the circuitry is still functional. What’s the easiest (and least painful:) way to check?
