you must have to much of a load on the outlet or didnt tighten the screws holding the wires tight enough , it should not go out that quickly. if you want to wire it for recess you first have to check if you can get to the location in the attic above the switch. and you need to be able to fish a wire down to the switch up to the recesed lite. which sometimes is not the easiest job to do , better to just call in the electrician for this job

Add Style and Ambiance with Recessed Kitchen Lighting?

If you are updating or completely renovating your kitchen, then lighting is going to something to which you will want to pay particular attention. Recessed kitchen lighting is an excellent way to save space in a small room, while getting ample light where you need it the most. There are different ways that you can use recessed lighting in your kitchen. This includes overhead lighting, ambient lighting and even task lighting. There are different types of fixtures for each of these lighting types and that's why planning appropriately is important. Once you've installed recessed lighting, it is a lot harder to make changes to your lighting design. Generally, recessed lighting fixtures will be installed before your ceiling is completed. Test your new recessed kitchen lighting. Test it at different times during the day and night in order to make sure that you have selected the right fixtures and placement. Moving a fixture a few inches at this point is simpler than moving it later. Installing recessed lighting into your existing ceiling is possible, but there is a lot of work involved with cutting the holes for the fixtures and setting up the electrical wires and switches required to operate the lighting properly. You may need to hire an electrician and the bad news is that you might need to remove parts of your ceiling to gain access to the wiring. Something that might help you to save time and money on your new kitchen lighting is meeting with a lighting designer or a contractor with a lot of lighting experience. Explain that you want to use recessed lighting and ask how you can do so most efficiently. They will probably be able to offer you useful suggestions and help you to even reduce the recessed lighting kitchen fixtures that you will need. Designing your new kitchen should be fun and exciting. Lighting should never be an afterthought because you are going to want to show off this new work of art in your home and it will look even more amazing with the right lighting.


Are homes connected in series or parellel?

Circuits in all buildings are connected in parallel so that the loads connected in each 'branch' are all subject to the same (supply) voltage, enabling them to operate at their rated powers. A secondary advantage is that, with a parallel circuit, if one branch fails, then all the other branches will continue to operate normally.
