Had two flourecent fixtures replaced with 8 canned lights. Total of 600 watts on a 1000 watt dimmer. After being on for awhile the dimmer gets hot to your touch. Originally had two seperate feeds for two flourecents. Installer cut one feed and ran all new cans on one wire. White wires are wire nutted together and two black wires are hooked to switch. Took dimmer off and replaced with single pole switch still using two black wires. New switch does not get hot. Is dimmer bad? Is two black wires right?

Hello all, I am starting my next project and need a little help. I want to install Well lighting in my yard to shine up on my trees. I do not want a halogen or metal halide light. I want to install a standard 120V UL listed Edison type bulb, the bulbs that screw in that we are all used to. I think this will give me the most versatility with light bulb choices. My question is where can I find these. I have searched and searched and I have found one place that has them, but they are $90 each and I need 5 of them. I was hoping that you guys would know of another place I could purchase them. They need to be water and weather resistant as they will be installed in the ground. Thanks for the help, Naicidrac
