Jennifer asked:


I live in an apartment and I want to start an indoor vegetable garden but I don’t know very much about gardening. I can kill just about anything. I think I need some type of UV lighting for the plants to grow. And is there any particular time of the year I should plant? Since I am trying to do it indoors I don’t think the weather should be much of an issue.

I’m really sick of the yellow tint that incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs have, and am looking for something that produces clear white light. LED lights are clear, but a bulb full of those is really expensive. Does anyone know about halide lights, or another type of light?

I was just in Vegas and Laughlin, NV. The MGM Grand (I think) and the Tropicana Express in Laughlin have the entire exterior of the building illiuminated. How do they do this and still hide the source of the light and how are they able to make the light spread so evenly as to almost make the building look as if it were painted by light?

Lastly, do you know where I can buy these lights to use on my home? Any online DYI plans?

Thanks

I just replaced my regular light bulbs with cfl’s in an effort to do my part in protecting the environment. But I’m feeling really conflicted now, because the cfl light is just horrible, and makes all the warm colors in my apartment look dull and washed-out. Is there a way to make the light look more like the light from a regular light bulb?? Please help. Thanks.

We live close to a major road that gets quite a bit of foot traffic. Now we keep our property dark at night and have a motion detecting flood light. We’ve been told that the exterior should be illuminated. My concern is that if the house is lit up at night…things like patio furnature, bikes and skate boards will be visible…and therefore more of a target.

Thanks in advance for your help…Rob

We are building a home and are going to have a home theater. It will be seating 20 – 30 people and has a stairway leading down to the front row of seats.(just like in a movie theater.) I would like to light the stairway. Does anyone have a home theater? What lighting did you install? Where did you buy your stairway lighting?

I’m wondering if anyone can suggest a website or retailer that specializes in strange avante-garde lighting (weird neon lamps, neo-industrial design, ambient lighting, etc) Thanks.

Patrick asked:


I have a small cactus in a small pot on my desk at work. I am not near a window with sunlight. But, there are fluorescent lights everywhere that are always on. Will this lighting be sufficient for the cactus to live? If so, how often do I water it?
I want to emphasize there is no natural sunlight around my desk, only artificial light.

McLaren asked:


I installed all new low voltage exterior landscape lighting three years ago. The fixtures now have fairly noticable oxidation. I believe that they are powder coated cast aluminum. I have 20 path lights, a large five lamp pole fixture, and several floods that all have the same problem.

I invested a fairly substansial amount of time and money in this lighting and I would like to find some way to remove the oxidation without having to replace all of the lights.
