Eco friendly lighting causing a buzzing noise from the dimmer switch in the wall?

February 13th, 2010 | Posted in lighting   Comments Off
J.Slope asked:


I have 50watt flood lights in my bathroom and when one of them went out I decided to try out eco friendly lighting - only after I replaced them I heard a buzzing coming from the dimmer switch when the lights were dimmed. It goes away when they’re all the way up.

What’s the problem?

What is the best type of outdoor security lighting for a home?

February 3rd, 2010 | Posted in lighting   Comments Off
rob d asked:


We live close to a major road that gets quite a bit of foot traffic. Now we keep our property dark at night and have a motion detecting flood light. We’ve been told that the exterior should be illuminated. My concern is that if the house is lit up at night…things like patio furnature, bikes and skate boards will be visible…and therefore more of a target.

Thanks in advance for your help…Rob

Can I replace the flood lights that I have outdoors with this

I think the flood bulbs are 75watt and the energy ones are 15watt but much brighter. But can they be used outdoors?

Commercial Lighting Fixtures

December 14th, 2009 | Posted in lighting   Comments Off
Camille Howe asked:


Many companies act as a one-source online vendor for commercial lighting fixtures of every type and size. Companies can design their own commercial lighting systems through the companies online order process. Specialists are always on hand to answer questions about which lights work best in different building and outdoor areas. Their fixtures for commercial lighting can ship from the world’s top manufacturers and deliver both longer bulb life and reduced energy than older, outdated equipment and generic retail lights provide.

Most companies carry a widely diversified selection of emergency lighting fixtures for commercial and industrial use. Emergency lights can mean the difference between life and death in an industrial accident or major power failure. Most companies carry halogen; battery powered, and LED emergency commercial light fixtures that will ensure clear visibility of traffic areas, exits, and outdoor facilities regardless of weather conditions or municipal power fluctuations. They could also have single wall mount, single headed, and double headed emergency lights for different sized facilities and lighting level needs.

Most selections of indoor commercial lighting fixtures feature all major lighting types and offers industrial clients the ability to systematically light their indoor facilities room by room. They can have halogen commercial light fixtures and bulbs that add decorative touches to management offices and create lower lighting levels for guest areas. We have task lights for break rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. Some companies carry both incandescent and fluorescent lights that are ideal sources of steady, cost effective illumination in storage and utility areas. For state of the art technology and maximum efficiency, consider indoor LED lights that offer cool burning temperatures at only 20 percent of the power required by other types of lighting. Average LED lights last for 30,000 bulb hours and require no maintenance and very rare replacements.

Outdoor facilities, parking lots, and docks all require bright light and maximum power conservation. Some companies carry the full spectrum of parking lot lights and commercial fixtures for exterior building and perimeter security lighting. Night crews and security personnel will see more clearly at night with our glare free parking lot lights that sit on any number of pole heights to evenly distribute illumination in a way that eliminates pockets of shadow but avoids reflecting glare from equipment and windows. Facilities can beef up parking lot security even further by adding floodlights along the perimeter. Commercial flood light fixtures can operate either on motion sensors or automated timers, allowing owners to keep some of the lights on from sundown to sunup and keep others in reserve for additional lighting as an intruder alert system.

Companies can also improve the security of buildings themselves with wall packs. Wall packs are exterior commercial lighting fixtures that attach directly to the structure of an office, factory, or warehouse itself. These lights maintain an even distribution of light around the building and any walkways or access points around doors or windows and offer a very strong deterrent to break-ins and vandalism. Lighting specialists can help companies select the specific models, luminosities, and sizes that work best with building architecture and provide optimal lighting for security cameras and on-site security personnel.

For construction companies and maintenance crews on the move we have a variety of Worklights that produce equivalent output to fixed commercial lighting fixtures. Worklights prove ideal for underground operations, street work at night, and portable safety for delivery drivers who may have to perform emergency maintenance on overnight long hauls.

In my apartment, I’ve got one of those heat lights in the bathroom. I have looked and haven’t seen any that say “heat lamps”, but the flood lights look like the same size. Are they the same?
