Anybody know off-hand the amperage draw (and/or wattage) or a typical two-speed 1/3 HP whole house fan? I find it annoying that the manufacturers don't put these specifications on their packaging.

Pull-chain light fixtures

on Jun 04, 2001

I am looking into replacing three ancient pull-chain fixtures in the top floor of my 90-year-old house (only because one fried a few days ago). I am unable to find any new fixtures other than very basic bare-bulb types. Installing wall switches is not an option, as the wiring is (probably original) knob and tube wiring, with no access without putting holes in walls, and I don't intend to replace walls! Any ideas on how to retain pull-chain lights with more attractive ceiling fixtures?

I want to replace 1 flourescent ceiling fixture in the kitchen with recessed lights. I know there are reccomendations for spacing the lights for appropriate coverage, but how many can I string together on the existing switch without overloading? Thanks!
