switch

Some time ago, I purchased a halogen cabinet light assembly (120V, 2 25W halogen lamps) that I wish to install. I wish to hardwire these lights to an existing circuit, replacing a fluroescent fixture. I recall that the instructions mentioned something about high temperature wiring (90 degree??) but, of course, have misplaced the instructions. My home is a 1968 mobile home so I suspect that the wiring from the switch does not meet the requirement. I recall reading somewhere about a situation such as this and using pigtails rather than having to completely run new wire. Has anyone heard of this or have any suggestions?

I recently moved into a 30-year-old rental home. I bought two light kits to install on existing ceiling fans. I don't know what brands the ceiling fans are (there's a different brand/model fan in every single room). The first light kit installed easily and works fine. The second one has been a real pain. I am trying to wire the fan and light to two wall switches so we can turn the lights and fan on/off at the switches and use the fan pull chain to control the speed. Instead, I have no lights at all, and the light switch acts as a switch for the fan, even when the fan wall switch is off. When the light wall switch is off, the fan works okay. I had this problem when I first started and both fan and lights were on one wall switch. I was hoping that putting the lights on a separate switch would help, but it has made no difference. I also replaced the fan speed switch, which made no difference. I checked the light kit (while disconnected from the fan) and the switch and wires check out okay. There is power at the blue wire going into the fan and when I checked between a light socket and ground. Reading through this site's archives, I saw where someone else had a similar problem. Is there a way to check the fan's internal wiring? Two of the wires coming from the fan (a yellow and a white) are capped off together - could that be a problem? Any ideas/suggestions? (Other than buying a new fan - can't afford that at present.) Thanks for any help you can give me.
