Use 40 watt. You do not have to use all the lights just because they are there. Unscrew every other one to bring down the brightness.

How do you remove the eyeball recessed trim from my recessed lighting i want to install a recessed lighting conversion kit?

The trim should just pull down. Because it is a recessed fixture nothing is screwed in it is all friction fit. Most trim kits have two spring wires that hold the trim to the ceiling. Once the trim is pulled down just release the springs on both sides of the trim to remove it completely from the fixture.


Would a non grounded extension cord for Christmas lights plugged into a power strip then into the outlet cause the inside outlet to get really hot. why does the inside one get hot on the same wall?

I would suggest that you unplug the lights right away. It sounds like there is a couple of bad splices in both of your receptacle outlets. The outside outlet should be a GFCI type and it should have tripped. Get a qualified person to check the connections before you plug the lights in again. You should be able to load the circuit wattage up to a point where it will trip the breaker, but even under these circumstances the receptacles should not get hot.


Can you convert an existing flush mount ceiling light into a recessed light?

Sure. Get a recessed light that is designed to be installed in "old Work". You must hav eenough room in ceiling to contain the recessed light. There may be some issues in some locations where the recessed fixture may overheat if for instance there is insulation around the fixture. Light should have an over temp cutoff. There should be a template with recessed light and a built in box to wire in the power from the old light. If you carefully cut out the sheetrock in ceiling according to the template dimensions, you will be able to use the piece you remove to repair the hole should there be no room for the recessed light. If there is attic access where the new light will be installed, you may be able to use a "new Work" light fixture since you can mount it from above. Go to someplace like Home Depot or Lowes and see what they have available.

How to Decide where to put Recessed Lights for the Kitchen?

Recessed lights are a great way to provide visibility throughout your kitchen without producing glare. This is accomplished by ensuring the the lights are located out of view. Recessed lights make it possible to highlight specific areas, which has both aesthetic and functional benefits. In order to start, you need to measure the kitchen and draw it up on a sheet of graph paper. Be sure to include all cabinets, islands, walls, and appliances. Mark where the current light switches are located. In many cases, you will be able to replace existing lights with recessed lights. The next thing that you should do is tie a string to a pendulum. Hook the string directly over the area in the kitchen that needs light the most. Use the pendulum to locate the areas that need to be lit well. Through this method, you can use the string to find the line of site for the best locations to put your recessed lights. Once you have a good idea of where you want your lights, indicate this on your graph paper. Repeat this process in order to determine if there are other places that you should install recessed lights. In many cases, you will benefit from having more than one source of light. It can be difficult to use the kitchen when it becomes dark, so make sure that all areas in the kitchen will be adequately lit. The last thing that you will need to determine before you get started will be the finished spacing. You can find this out by getting in touch with the manufacturer. The manufacturer will let you know how far apart the lighting should be spaced. You will also need to decide whether or not the lights should all be attached to a single switch, or to more than one light switch. When you do this, make sure that the set up for the lighting is convenient.

Your 2005 Outback Subaru wagon keeps blowing headlights.first left then right.back to left you are on the fifth change Any notion as to why?

Hello I was having the same problem! Finally I found out that the new "super bright" lights should NOT be used in a car that has daytime running lights. So once I put the cheap GE lights in they have lasted longer than any set that I had put in before! And they are just as bright as the "super bright" lights are anyway.
