I need to throw away some regular fluorescent lamps - the kind used in a garage, workshop, etc. not CFLs.

I want to pull my couch away from the wall, but I still need lamps near the couch. How do I do this without the lamp cord showing and snaking through my room?

Can I put higher watt lamps in my low voltage bathroom lighting?

john g asked:


I had six low voltage spot lights installed in my bathroom ceiling. The transformer sits in the loft. Each spot has a 20 watt bulb. I’d like it brighter. I saw 35w and 50 w lamps available, but would it be safe to install these?
