I am finishing the lower level of my home and I have a room that is app. 30 ft x 30 ft...I want to put in recessed lighting but I do not know how many I should put in...is there a rule of thumb how to determine how many recessed cans should be put in?

Here is a good website i have seen John Nelson refer to:
http://www.cooperlighting.com/custom...lection_guide/

Also where i live there are stores that specialize in lighting and will come out and design lighting for "free" in hopes you will but their product. I did this and they did a great job and I found they had some good bargins I took advantage of.

Good Luck

Convert 220 to two -110 lines

T

tessera on Apr 29, 2003

I have replaced my electric stove with a gas range. I'm left with the 220 recepticle that I would like to convert to possibly two 110 recep. One will power a Microwave hood, the other to power 2 overcounter lights. The fuse box uses 2 ganged 20 amp flip (don't know what they are called) switches that power the 220 outlet. I DON"T want to run any new wires from the fuse box to the stove area! Can I possibly run both the Micro and the 2 lights from one outlet? How do I do this? thanks, Frank

Unstable ceiling fan

E

ebjerga on Apr 29, 2003

I have a bunch of ceiling fans in my house but one is very unstable. Whenever it's turned on, the blades rotate fine but the whole fan itself begins wobbling. It's looks pretty unstable and I'm afraid to have it on (above my son's bed). I've tried tightening all the screws on it but that didn't seem to help, in fact none were loose. It's almost as if the blade weights are not equal, causing it to wobble....but, the fan used to work fine! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Erling
