Any fixture containing metal other than the conductors should be grounded. It ensures the proper operation of the over current device, which is the breaker or fuse.

Can I save energy using one light instead of four in my kitchen light or is it the same no matter what?

Yes. If your kitchen light has room for four light bulbs, then you will save energy if only one of them is on.


I am installing a kitchen light fixture in the ceiling. While pulling down the old fixture the green ground wire broke. The new Fixture has a green ground wire. Where do I ground it to now?

The fixture box should have a ground screw on the bottom of the box. Sometimes you have to move other wires out of the way to see it. Just reconnect the fixture ground wire to this screw.


What to do if you want to install new recessed lights in the kitchen the lights that are in the ceiling now do not have a box therefore nowhere to put the ground wire which is on the new light?

How many watts does a light bulb in the kitchen use?

It depends on the lighting fixture and the layout of your kitchen, since most of the work in a kitchen is "task oriented" the wattage should be the same as for reading. To efficiently light a kitchen there should be several sources of light, at least 100 watt or equivalent (from each source), depending on the type of bulbs, would be my recommendation.


How would a broken light switch in a bedroom affect a kitchen?

It shouldn't affect it at all. The light switch should affect only the operation of the light in your bedroom. If anything the switch would be on the same circuit as your kitchen lights and then it would be connected in paralell so it wouldn't have any effect on anything other than the load it was intended to control unless it somehow shorted to ground in which case it would trip your breaker and disrupt the whole circuit.
