What are the causes of a light bulb to be busted?
Too high wattage for the fixture or screwed in too tight>
Can I have 120 volts at the light fixture but the light won't turn on I have checked the wiring and changed the light?
If you have 120 v at the wires connecting to the light fixture the light should come on. Its possible the voltage is not getting to the inside of the socket. Carefully measure the voltage between the metal blip at the bottom of the socket and the metal along the sides. Be careful here. Its tight quarters and easy for the voltmeter leads to touch the wrong things. Before doing that I would try a third light bulb. I've gotten them bad right out of the package. If you have voltage inside the socket, then for some reason the light bulb is not screwing far enough down so the bottom touches that metal blip on the bottom of the socket. If you don't have voltage inside the socket then that's your problem and you'll need a new socket.
How do you hook up outside light fixture that has black white green to house wiring with only black and white?
If your house wiring is encased in armoured (metal) sheathing back to the panel, then you can secure the green ground to the ground screw in the box. Make sure the armoured cable connector is tight on the box. This should ground the light back to the panel. If you are on "knob & tube" I would suggest thinking about re-wiring the house.
How do you wire from breaker to light fixture 1 to light switch 1 to Light switch 2 to light fixture 2?
If you are asking about typical house hold panel, switches and lights then you would get some 12/2 AWG Romex wire and run it to everything. You want to start your taps from the load end (the lights). Tap your neutral, hot and ground to the light fixture 2. on switch 2, tap the hot going to the light to the bottom pole of the switch. next take a piece of black wire only and tap it to the top pole of switch 2 and the top pole of switch one. Then tap the hot going to light 1 to the bottom pole of switch one. tap the 3 neutrals together and the grounds together. tap the hot, neutral, and ground to light 1. lay the neutral wire onto the neutral bar in the panel. Lay then ground wire to the ground wire in the panel. Lay the hot wire to the breaker in the panel. Make sure all connections and screws are tight but do not over tighten. If you do not have good knowledge or in doubt, do not work with any live circuits or in the panel. Electricity kills regardless the voltage or amperage. If you dont know what you are doing call a pro!
How do you wire a series of recessed lights to a single switch when the power goes to the lights first?
If you already know how to put one fixture on a 3-way, just connect white-to-white and black-to-black from one light to the next. If you're changing from a single switch to the 3-way, the exact wiring will depend on whether the power comes from the breaker box to the switch or the existing fixture. I'll assume you're starting from scratch or have the power going to the fixture. You need #15 two-wire with ground and #15 three-wire with ground romex. Run two-wire from the breaker box to the first light fixture. Pull a another two-wire from this box to switch A and a three-wire between the switches. String two-wire from the first light to the second, second to third, etc. In the first box, connect white from source to the white fixture wire and the white going to the second box; black from source to the black to switch A; and the black fixture wire to both the white to switch A and the black to the next fixture. At each of the other 5 fixtures, connect all white to white and black to black (three pair in each box except the last one). At switch A, connect the white from the fixture to the common (center) connector and the black directly to the black going to switch B. The red and white wires going to switch B are connected to the two outside connectors of switch A. At switch B, the black goes to the common connector and the red and white to the outside connectors. At each box, connect all the bare wires (second ground) to each other and to the fixture or box. Now turn the power back on. If all the connectors are tight, power should follow the black wires from source past the fixture and switch A to switch B. From there it will go through one or the other of the travellers and, if switch A is in the same position as B, up the white switch leg to the fixtures, turn on all the lights and go back to ground.
What is a vapor tight fixture light?
It is a fixture that has a hermetical seal that keeps fumes and vapours from the electrical parts of the fixture. A good example of a vapour tight fixture is one that is used in paint spray booths. These types of fixtures are not to be confused with explosion proof fixtures which are in a different category altogether.

How do you replace the 3rd brake light on 2006 Malibu?
First, remove the inside trunk lid cover panel. Disconnect the electrical connection. Use a spin tight wrench (7mm) to remove the two screws. Unclip and remove the protective cover. Unclip and remove the light fixture. The light fixture is LED so you will need to replace the entire fixture, it's about $60 at the dealership. I just did this procedure last night.
Do wire nuts have to be inside junction box when installing porch lights?
The wire nuts do not have to be inside the junction box. They must, however, be as tight as possible to keep moisture from inside the light fixture.
Can faulty electrical wiring cause light bulbs to burn out quicker?
If light bulbs are burning out quickly the light fixture could be getting too much electricity due to faulty wiring. They could also burn out due to a loose wire or screwing the light bulb in too tight.
Why does one bulb in a fixture blow out?
One possible reason is arcing inside the lamp socket. Loose bulbs can arc inside the socket. One sure sign of arcing is if the light "flickers" when it is on. Take the bulb out of the fixture and examine the contacts on the base. If any part of the base appears burned, there is arcing inside the socket. Arcing can cause a bulb to blow prematurely. Make sure the bulb is tight when istalling a new one. The best cure is to replace either the socket if it's removable, or the whole fixture if it's not. Also if it's an enclosed fixture, the heat from the light bulb can get trapped inside, causing the bulb to overheat, thereby causing it to fail prematurely. This is likely if you have too large a light bulb in the fixture, i.e. using a 100 watt bulb in a fixture designed for a 60 watt bulb. Try a lower wattage bulb.
How do you make pipe connections really tight under the kitchen sink?
They don't have to be super tight, if they are plastic, hand tight is usually enough. For supply lines, use two wrenches, one on the fixture and the other on the supply line nut. Hold the faucet side and tighten the supply side.
How To Install A Lighting Fixture Onto Your Ceiling Fan?
There are many beautiful lighting fixtures available that can be installed onto a ceiling fan. These lighting fixtures can create a special atmosphere are provide great lighting options within a room. Installing lighting fixtures are very easy to complete yourself on a ceiling fan that is already in place. Here is a guide to help you complete this project in your home. Step 1. Gather all of the products, tools and supplies you will need to complete your lighting fixture installation. For this project you will need a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, wire insulation stripper, your chosen light fixture kit and a step ladder. Step 2. Before you begin with the installation process, you will need to turn off the power to the switch that controls your ceiling fan at the breaker box. Step 3. Remove all glass fixtures that come with the light fixture for your ceiling fan. In the center of your light fixture you will find a tube with a nut and washers. Both the nut and washers should be removed and set aside for later. Remove the center of the canopy and place it on the top of your ceiling fan lighting fixture where the tube is positioned. The canopy with thread downward or slide down over the tubing. Using the washers and nuts that you set aside, tight the canopy onto the lighting fixture. Make sure that this is tight but do not over tighten. Pass the black and white wire that is on your light fixture through the hollow center tube. Use a gentle pull to accomplish this so that the wires do not break. You will be able to see the inside wiring of the ceiling fan. Pull the black and white wires that are used for lighting fixture installation down. If these wires are insulated at the end, remove the insulation cap. If no insulation cap is present, strip about one half inches of the insulation off of each wire. Connect the white wire on the ceiling fan with the white wire on the lighting fixture. Connect the black wire on the ceiling fan with the black wire on the lighting fixture. Finish this by twisting the exposed wires and cap each set of wires. Tuck these wires back into the ceiling fan without breaking them. Replace the screws and tighten them securely without over tightening. Step 4. Place the glass covers that come with the light fixture in place. Insert all necessary light bulbs as needed. Restore the power supply to the ceiling fan. If necessary, attach a pull cord for your lighting fixture.

How do you change brake light on 1999 Honda Passport?
There are two screws to get the fixture off. The two are on the side of the fixture in the small recesses that look like vents in the lights. They are difficult to see, but if you look closely, they're right there. Take them out. Some hondas have a third screw is located on the rear of the How_do_you_replace_the_tail_light_bulb_on_1998-2000_Honda_Passports, between the bumper and the fixture. I looked on my 99 honda passport and couldnt find a third screw so I just did the 2 Loosen the screw The assembly should slide right out. There is a pressure fit plastic piece that lines up the fixture. Be careful not to snap it like I did. After that, it's easy. Remove the snap fit electrical supply to the fixture and you're home free. Change the bulb and you're done. Took me an hour to figure it out the first time, took five minutes the next. I dont know if I got the bulb in tight but it will work for me
