The bulb is probably "burning out" from vibration which will eventually detach the bulb's fine filament. You need to replace it with a heavy duty bulb designed for rough use such as portable trouble lights (often used by auto mechanics). These bulbs cost a bit more but have a heavier filament that is attached more securely to accomodate vibration and rough usage.

How do you hook up a light fixture with two power sources... Could a garage light be fed by a light switch and the garage door opener if they are are on the same leg?

A garage door opener and the garage light can be on the same circuit. The garage door opener has to be up stream (non switched 120 volt source) from the light switch and the garage light.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Can you convert a light fixture in the ceiling to an 3 prong outlet for a garage opener?

My initial reaction was "absolutely not". The lighting circuit will only have a maximum feed capacity of 3 to 5 amps. For a garage opener this will be more than that. If you did manage to convert it, then you would almost certainly blow the circuit breaker and at the worst you may cause the wiring to set on fire due to overload. Basically, it's all about the maximum current that the opener draws when operating. I'm sure that it would exceed the capacity of the circuit. Additional question...I saw something at Home Depot that screws into a light socket and provides an electrical outlet. Would this work? I did a little research and found garage door openers ranging from 1.6 to 6 amps. Seems a little tight, but could it work?


What sources of interference with garage door opener should you look for?

Depends on what it is doing or not doing. Transmitter not working? Lighting strike can erase code in opener and need to be reset. Not shutting can be pressure sensitivity to light, sensors at base of door opening blocked or not working. Should have indicator light on each. A staple cutting into wire leading to sensor or wall switch. Odd openings can be someone close with same frequency. If not opening from far enough away, something can be blocking the antenna from picking up signal. There should be 6-8 inch single strand wire from bottom of opener. This is the antenna. A longer piece can be added to this to increase the reception. Troubleshooting: The source of the remote control range problem you may be having could be in your house. At the circuit box, turn off all circuits except the garage door opener. Test the opener. If the problem is eliminated, turn on each circuit one-by-one until the unit presents the reduced range problem. When you find it you will have a short list of home appliances which cause the problem. From there, unplug everything on that circuit and re-plug one-by-one until you find the culprit. Note: the culprit might be on the same circuit as the opener (then you have to unplug everything on that circuit). Once you find the culprit, you might be able to use the appliance if you plug it into a different phase (see AC phase in Home Electricity). Or, if the culprit is on the same circuit you might simply need to move it to a different circuit.
