Well, honey, turning a porch light fixture upside down doesn't have some deep hidden meaning. It simply means someone installed it wrong or they were feeling rebellious that day. Either way, it's just a light fixture - not a secret code for aliens or a new fashion trend.

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.

How far are electrical services required to be from windows on a residential home in USA?

In the USA the National Electrical Code prohibits the "point of attachment" of an overhead electric service to be within 36 inches of an openable window, doorway, or porch... in other words they do not want a person to be able to reach out of a building opening and be able to touch exposed live power wires. I believe this rule applies to all buildings not just residential. The "point of attachment" is the area near the top of the building's electrical conduit where the building wires are spliced to the utility company wires. This is the only area where there should be exposed power wires. There is no distance limitation from windows and doors for the remainder of the electrical service that has no exposed power wires, such as the conduits, meters, panels


How do you convert NTSC signal into a computer signal?

The best way to convert an NTSC signal into a computer signal is with a TV Frame Grabber. Buy the board, install it, and it should be able to convert NTSC video into MPEG or some other video. You will even be able to do this from RF, off the air or off of cable - just understand that some countries are digital, instead of analog - but this answer is NTSC, which is analog. If you want to build the board yourself, consult the specifics of NTSC with google, wikipedia, or something - it is a complex task. In high level generalities, the process is... Build a sync separator that can differentiate between horizontal and vertical sync, and maintain the black and white reference levels. Build an interlace detector that can detect and process the equalization pulses that occur during vertical sync. These equalization pulses are used to identify the interlacing between 29.97 Hz frame rate and the 59.94 Hz field rate. Build a 3.58 MHz chroma oscillator that is phase locked to the chroma burst on the back porch of the horizontal sync. Scan the data portion of each horizontal line - you will need a hardware array for each bit cell... The luminance (black and white) data is the mean voltage between black and white reference levels at each bit cell. The color saturation data is the amplitude of the 3.58 Mhz subcarrier at each bit cell. The color hue data is the phase angle of the 3.58 MHz subcarrier at each bit cell. You will need to convert the stream of bit cell data into video pixels, and then convert that into whatever PC compatible format you want. Other things, such as closed captioning can be added by decoding the bit stream on various lines reserved for that during vertical sync. Again, buy the board - its easier - unless you want to make a semester project out of this.

How do you add another porch light to an existing switch?

Piggyback off the box for the existing light. Run a wire from the existing junction box to a new junction box (which is placed wherever you want the new fixture). Then, in the existing box, connect the wire coming from the switch, the wire for the existing fixture, and the wire for the new fixture together using wire nuts. Wire up the new fixture, and presto, you have two fixtures on a switch where there was only one before.

What kind of bird sleeps on your porch pillar every night?

A young owl has been sleeping on my porch column on the inner side every night. A few times I opened the door to check the weather out, and he would fly away. But he would fly back when I went back in house. Tonight I turned the porch light on first and slightly opened the door. He turned his head around to me and it was a very young owl. I quickly shut the door and turned light off so he would not scare away. On my porch floor under where he sits at night is a lot of bird yuppy all over the porch ground. LOL He has been there several weeks now.
