Dominic W asked:


I removed a broken light bulb in a hanging light fixture but unfortunately bent the socket enough so a new light bulb will not screw in all the way. Is there a product that would screw in the socket to reshape it? Removing the socket looks nearly impossible the way the fixture is built and replacing the light fixture will be expensive.

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.

“Short circuit of sorts. The light bulb must have over heated by a sudden rush of energy causing it to burst. Though the other lights just went out because the burst of energy only needed one main exit to exclude its energy. Thus the light bulb bursting. Well that’s what I think”. <--- that is my friends sight on why a light bulb explodes we just wanted to know if it was true or if you could give us knowledge on the subject.

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 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.

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?

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
