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

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?

Eco friendly lighting causing a buzzing noise from the dimmer switch in the wall?
J.Slope asked:
I have 50watt flood lights in my bathroom and when one of them went out I decided to try out eco friendly lighting – only after I replaced them I heard a buzzing coming from the dimmer switch when the lights were dimmed. It goes away when they’re all the way up.

How much will it cost to fix my car’s interior lighting?
Timothy asked:
I have a ‘91 Mercedes 300E and all the lighting inside just went out, including all the gauges such as the speedometer. I checked the fuse box and from what I can tell, everything is in tact. Any suggestions on what might be wrong/how much it might cost to fix? Thanks!

I need to add a water pump to raise the water pressure to my shower. I want to install the pump in my loft which is where the water pipes run, but the only power currently up there is for an existing lighting circuit.
Is it ok (i.e. does it satisfy Part P of the building regs, and IEE Wiring Regulations) to wire the Water Pump into this circuit?
