Hello!
I am hoping to learn more about powering LEDs for a custom panel I am designing..
I am not re-inventing the wheel here, but am simply after a lot of output :)
My design will be for the Film/Lighting industry where Color accuracy is important as well as flicker free appearance on...
I just took down an old chandelier. I'm looking to swap it out with a different old fixture, but I am interested in making it as safe as possible.
I attached a picture of the fixture box as it is now and would really appreciate opinions on what needs to be done. At the very least, I feel like...
Hi,
I had a working ceiling light fixture in a closet that was swapped out for a new LED light by a family member. The old fixture was working fine but unfortunately the wiring was not documented before it got disconnected and my family member ran into some issues figuring out how to connect...
Hi, I have changed our light fixture that used 3x 7w e14 bulbs to 30w led panel, but the light does not work. The wiring is correct and both lights are rated 230v 50hz.
Do I need LED driver or is there possibly some other problem?
Thank you in advance.
So I was changing a lightbulb with a wide bayonet base to it. The actual glass bulb itself has come away completely, but the bayonet base and contact wires are still stuck in the light. How do I remove this?
Hey guys would appreciate some help wiring a new light fixture. It has two separate switches that control it. The way the wires are exactly lt how it looked when I took down the old fixture. Please see the attached picture.
Thank you!
I had the All Pro dusk to dawn installed in 2015..the light bulb burned out last week. The electrician replaced the fluorescent bulb. That night it did not light although they checked the bulb earlier it worked. I read where you might have to reset breaker so I did and the light worked two...

I am trying to create a custom light/chandelier to hang above a kitchen island.
The roof above this island is irregular (see image 1) and I have 2 points to connect to (the larger one actually has a double cable). I don't necessarily need to use all the points, I can just use one then...

Hello,
my cousin gave me a led fixture for which the power supply is no longer working. He threw it away so I cannot look at the specs there. He says he measured 78v out of the power supply before throwing it away, but he did not sound convincing.
In the pictures attached you can see the whole...

Hello, all,
I am seeking advice to fit a new fixture I brought just recently. Currently active is a simple rose with bulb. I’m a novice when it comes to electrics, can change a few plug sockets and sometimes a light, but this baffles me.
The junction box with the new light comes with the clip...
I want to change the nasty looking light fitting in my daughters room. Simple enough, grabbed a new pendant type rose thing (can you tell I’m a pro?) and started to take off the current fixture.
Here is where the issues began, I was expecting the normal 3 wire setup but I was met with...
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I know little about electricals apart from wiring a plug! It's something I've wanted to always learn even just the basics so I am grateful for any advice.
I've had a 3 bulb ceiling light fixture for a few weeks now. I cannot for the life of me figure it out. It's...
Hi all,
I've just moved into a rental house and am having a nightmare figuring out what type of light bulb to use in the ceiling fixture in one of the upstairs rooms.
The bulb that's in the fixture now works, although does not dim (if I turn the dial at the wall). It also happens to be a very...
Hello,
I need to fit a lighting fitting that has two silver wires running out of the fixture, they are not labelled or coloured. The current fixture in the ceiling also has two wires, one is brown and the other blue.
I have attached an image of the current fixture and wires connected and...
So I bought a light fixture from a shop which runs a 60w candle bulb. I have rewired it using a block to connect it to a plug.
All the wires are connected to the correct nodes within the block and plug.
Unfortunately I am receiving no light from the bulb when switched on.
Any advice is welcome.
