halogen lighting for your home

Many might not realize that adequate lighting is important in any home. We take our illumination for granted, and only realize that we’re at an impasse as to what to buy when we need to either move home or redecorate our existing one.

An important aspect of good lighting at home is having a lighting source that matches well the home decor, specifically the ambient of the very room it is placed in. For example if your home is decorated in a rustic style, you can get many nice chandeliers that are hanging from the ceiling. Some of them can basically have a form of bear or elk figures, so if you want to imitate the country look, this could be for you.

For something more modern you can easily find hanging lights with fine glass shades that can incorporate some delicate filigree motifs. Basically you have an endless array of styles when it comes to lights hanging from the ceiling. These can be practically used anywhere, except maybe for the kitchen and bathroom.

It is important to notice the room style before buying your lights, because having something heavy in a very delicate style room decor will stick out and will be quite ugly. So the lighting fixture needs to match the room ambient quite well.

For other areas such as the hallways, bathrooms or bedrooms, wall sconces are perfect. You can find so many different types of these illumination fixtures, it’s sometimes quite difficult to settle on one pair. It is important to note that when you buy your sconces, you need to get at least two. The reason is because they are usually placed at the both sides of an item. For example you can place them at the both sides of the bed in the bedroom, or at the both ends of a wall mirror in your bathroom. Of course a darker hallway can be easily illuminated with a couple of wall sconces strategically placed on the wall at equal distance apart.

Why is my light bulb smoking?

I just bought a new home and it came with track lighting. The bulbs installed were 35W halogen bulbs. I didn’t think the lights were very bright and wanted to get a brighter bulb. So I purchased a 50W bulb. The fixture saves 200V 100W in it, but when I put a 50w bulb in there it starts smoking.

Is it because it cant support more than 35w? Or do ALL of the lights in the track need to be the same wattage?

I just have no idea why a fixture that says 100W can’t support a 50W bulb without smoking.

Thanks for your help.

The 100 watts is the TOTAL that the fixture will support. If you have 3 bulbs on the track, and you size them at 50 watts, you are now 50% OVER the capacity of the fixture.

Simply put, all all the wattages on the track, and do not go over 100 watts total.

You are overloading the fixture.
