How do I make my outdoor lights emit red without changing the bulb? In my film class, our professor mentioned some type of fiberglass gels that you use to change the color of the light. However, I don't think I heard him correctly and now someone wants to put it over their outdoor lights to make them red for the holidays. I'm pretty sure I have the correct material (the woven fiberglass) in mind, but I just want to make certain. if this is the incorrect material, what else can I use to put over my lights as a gel to make the light reds.

How can I put outdoor lights powered by a wall switch on a timer? I want to put the exterior lights of my home (i.e. porch lights) on a timer. They are powered by wall switches inside my home.

I need help with outdoor Christmas lights? Ok, maybe I am making this way harder than it is, but I am completely baffled when it comes to hanging outdoor Christmas lights. Here's where I need help... If you want to hang a string of Christmas lights off of (for example) a 13 ft strip and lights only come in (for example) a 15 ft strip, how do you hang a 15 ft string of lights across a 13 ft area without having excess lights hanging off? As I drive around our neighborhood, it would appear that no one has any excess lights hanging off of their gutters, nor do they have any strands which are too short. It would appear the strands they've hung are miraculously perfect in length. The lights aren't hiding anywhere (say, on the backside of the roof or anything), so what am I missing here? Strands of lights only come in certain lengths and not everyone has the same area to cover. So, how do I hang my lights without either a) having excess amounts hanging off of the gutters or b) having a strand which is too short? This "doubling back"... wouldn't that show? In my head, I imagine it to look like there's too many lights or extra brightness in that area (where you've "doubled back"). Am I making this too hard? : )

Why do my outdoor lights go through lightbulbs so quickly? I have 3 outdoor fixtures, all on same circuit, going through 60 watt bulbs every 6-8 weeks. They are rated for 100 watt bulbs. They are on 5-6 hours a night. What gives?

I am having problems with my outdoor decking lights. The lights keep tripping when I switch them on?? The decking lights (2 sets - low voltage with transformers) are connected to an outdoor strip socket in weatherproofing box. There is approx. 6 metres of cable from the strip socket to the socket indoors. The lights continue to trip each time I switch them on. However, if I plug the transformers into an extension plug they work no problem. Unfortunately, this is too bulky for the weatherproofing box. Could this be a problem with the strip socket or the 6 metre wiring??

I have outdoor lighting on a timer. All outdoor lights stopped working, but the timer itself is working. HELP There are several lights outside that are on a timer.

Outdoor lights stopped working- why? We recently moved into an old house with 120 volt outdoor lights (not today's norm of 12V) with a photo sensor. One night they just did not come on.... We covered the photosensor to simulate darkness and tried to troubleshoot. The weird thing is, a voltmeter put in each light bulb socket measures 120V (like I assume it should), but when the light bulb is screwed in, it does not turn on. What could make this happen? Bulbs all work in other sockets inside the house. And no fuse is blown- like I said, voltmeter shows 120V in the light bulb socket. The bulbs are fine and now the socket has been straight wired to the hosue removing any switches or photo sensors. There is a length of underground wire connecting the socket to the house, but I can measure the voltage at the socket at 120V and 60Hz. Everything says the socket shoudl work, but bulbs don't work. I unwired the socket and wired in a recetacle amd plugged in a lamp. Still measuring 120V a the lamp socket, but nothing happens (bulb and lamp all work in other sockets). I've debugged enough to realize the problem is in the length of wire from the house the socket, but can't imagine why it won't work. I guess my next step is to dig it up.

Outdoor lights with broken bulb - unsafe? I bought a string of 20 lights, they are big round bulbs for summertime outdoors. They came with replacement fuses, but since they are big bulbs, no replacement bulb. Of course while trying to hang them today I found out they were made of glass and not plastic when one bulb shattered. I am clueless about this type of thing, so I don't know, is it safe to use them still? Should I unscrew the rest of the bulb from its socket or would that be even worse? I plugged them in just to see, and they worked, but the inside of the broken bulb (filament, perhaps?) was fine until it brushed up against something and made a pop noise and left a black mark. I realize I probably have to toss them - what are the chances target would replace them (I know it was my fault, but they also didn't provide a replacement!)? Thank you Quick answers :) Thank you - I will attempt to return them to Target, or hope for a replacement bulb. So I take it I'd be better off having nothing screwed into that socket rather than the broken bulb? I'll go take it out now! Good news - Target will exchange them within 90 days, so note to anyone else who breaks lights, haha. Thank you for all your answers!
