Justin W asked:


The light fixture I recently purchased is only equipped with a black and white wire. The lighting fixture that I am replacing is equipped with only two black wires. How do I make the connection?

How do you adjust the xenon lighting on a 2003 jaguar s type V6? the light is always pointed straight down and does not provide any illumination. I already tried screwing in the screws that change the angle of the flaps on the lights but that did not help.

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…

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?

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?

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?
