I am building an addition on my home which will force the blocking off of an existing window. Rather than removing the window and blocking up the space, I was thinking of sheet rocking one side (addition side) and keeping the window in place on the other (existing room) to give to appearance that a window still exists. The project is to find a bulb/light that I could put behind the window that would provide light to create a "outdoor light" effect. I would be putting translucent plexiglass in the window to act as a diffuser. The ideal bulb would: 1 - look as close to daylight as possible 2 - let off little or no heat 3 - be dimmable/scalable in steps All of these attributes are not set in stone as I could also design the project around "the right bulb." Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have a question about what could be causing my outside light to be burning out light bulbs after a few minutes of being on. This just started happening all of a sudden. Outside light had been working fine for years. Light bulb we are using is a 60 watt bulb. I am hoping this isn't some kind of electrical problem. Could a bad fixture be causing this?
