    Putting light fixture with 2 bulbs on a single bulb ceiling outlet

    Hi all. We have a light fixture that has single bulb fixture on ceiling. I want to change this to a 2 bulb fixture. Is this just as simple as removing the existing fixture and wiring the 3 into the double bulb one? I see black/red/greenyellow wires currently attached. Not so good with...

    Flickering LED Bulbs

    Hi, hopefully this is a quick one, in my new house I inherited a bathroom mirror with 4 small bulbs in it. This is hard wired to the main lightswitch. When I first turned it on with new LED Bulbs I found that they were flickering. I took the mirror off the wall to see how they were wired. It...

    UK Could someone explain to me what the numbers on bulbs and batteries mean?

    Hello, Apologies if these are really basic questions, I know next to nothing about electronics and such. I'm quite an outsider here. I'm looking to build myself a moth trap, and I've found that (especially in today's economy) actinic bulbs running off a battery would be best as it would be...

    Using LED bulbs in place of incandescent bulbs on ceiling fan

I will be checking out a ceiling fan that has 4 lights on it. The owner said he replaced all 4 incandescent 120VAC bulbs that were working with...

    lesson on how LED bulbs fail

    This is just a note about LED bulb failure. We had a desk lamp in which the A19 LED bulb would only go on after flipping the switch several times. In fact, once on, it would turn itself off after a few hours and then mysteriously pop back on. Ah, no sweat. Power cord is just not secure. I...

    Dimmable LED lightbulbs - worth it?

    I've read lots of conflicting information on the internet about dimmable LED lightbulbs. Some people have said that even if a supplier claims that a LED lightbulb is dimmable using it with a dimmer can cause issues, such as it emitting a buzzing noise, flickering and it shortens the life of the...

    Light bulbs in basement and garage burnout and can only use 60 watt incandescent.

I have attempted to use 100 W incandescent bulb and LED bulbs but they do not work. So the other issue is...

    Max Wattage on a Circuit with Newer Bulbs

    An electrician once told me that I should always be careful not to exceed too much wattage on each circuit in a house by replacing light bulbs with brighter ones that are of higher wattage (e.g. don't replace all 60W bulbs with 75W or 100W bulbs). However, with the newer CFL and LED replacement...

    G9 LED bulbs... they're all dim! What gives??

    Hi there! I just got my first two lamps that use G9 LED bulbs. Very frustratingly, it's almost impossible to find bulbs within my criteria, which I really didn't expect to be the case. I am looking specifically for 2700K warm white (i.e. very warm) and more than 5W. All I can seem to find are...
