Do i need to reduce the power to my 20w xenon lamps?

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Arthur S asked:


I have 20W xenon puck lights powered by a 12volt 60W transformer. The system is set up to power 3 lamps, but in my application i am only using 2. some of the lamps and housing have overheated and failed. The heat has cracked the crome on the plastic covers. Do i need to reduce the power and if so how would I do that.

Does the glass from street lamps need to be replaced after it gets darker?

Monday, May 19th, 2008
Anonymous asked:


Street lamps become dark and yellowish after a while. I think it’s mostly on the inside, but I’m not sure. Is there a way to clean them so that they look new again or they need to be replaced?

Are there any lamps out there that shine in many colors, but you can choose which one and for how long?

Saturday, May 17th, 2008
Shanara P asked:


I have a couple of those lamps that keep rotating and shining in different colors. I really like the red and green settings, but they only last for like, 1 second before moving on to some ugly brown color.

Anyway, are there any lamps out there that shine in a number of different colors, but you can choose to keep it on one color if you want to?

I have great table lamps in the livingroom which is in the process of being redone. Would the lamps be too tall for the bedroom? Is there a formula of height requirements for table lamps? For a swag over the kitchen table, what is the clearance?
