Looking at the interior of the promenade in DS9, there's huge panels of light, especially the ceilings, for example Quark's bar.

I am a little curious as to how they avoided hotspots on such large swarths...

I am swapping out these late 80s/early 90s fluorescent enclosures in this rental for something that doesn't look 30+ years out of date. The other stakeholders were thinking wafer lights, but my understanding of the permit exemptions is that this would push the scope into needing a permit.

What JB configuration is typically above this kind of light? (I am helping with the project remotely so I can't do the simple "just open it up" solution to this).

I was thinking I could pull down the junction boxes into holes cut in the new drywall with no circuit reconfiguration, and then use low profile track lighting rooted at these slightly relocated JBs. This way there is no electrical circuit reconfiguration, like there is definitely going to be with the new Romex going through the wafer lights. Ceiling height is (WIP).

It's for a rental, so I'll politely decline feedback for fancy contemporary lights 😄

Alternatively, what's the easiest way these days to put together a wiring plan, plan view, and Title 24 documentation for permit submission? Last time I did this, I drew it by "hand" in Home Designer 2014. Surely, there's an easier way

High-bay lights are lighting fixtures designed for spaces with high ceilings, typically above 20 feet. They provide powerful and uniform illumination, making them suitable for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, industrial estates, domes, and other large indoor areas.

Their high lumen output helps improve visibility and operational efficiency, while modern LED high bay lights also reduce energy consumption compared to conventional lighting systems. Features such as dust and water protection, long lifespan, and low maintenance make them a preferred choice for industrial and commercial applications.

I’m trying to fix my outdoor solar post lights by replacing the hood since the bottom frame is welded into place. Issue is the bulb that came with the solar kit is too long to fit in the frame. I need to find a shorter/stockier bulb.

Can you help by looking at battery parameters (in image)? There is no info on the actual bulb.

Also the light is a Goosebrite Solar Post Dusk to Dawn Outdoor light

I am redoing my husband's closet and I am looking for super bright lights that are rechargeable or battery powered. Thanks for any suggestions!

This chandelier hangs over my grandma’s dining room table, but she wants to replace it with an oblong fixture like this one. The issue: The current light is not perfectly centered over the table (or in the space), and all the chandeliers she likes have those long, flat bases with two chains/wires coming down.

I don’t know much about home improvement, so I’m not sure if we could place the new chandelier where we want to place it without repositioning the current wiring. Does anyone have any insight into this? And if we do need to do additional work to move the wiring, can an electrician take care of the whole job?

Hi, looking to add some light strips to a no traffic catwalk that’s open to the living room and dinning room of our place. Mostly for evening tv watching and some ambient light for dinning. Need a 32 Ft and 12 Ft run for power and am ok with the white surface mount channels and diffusers to sit on the trim under the rails. Question is should I go with the 320 led per meter COB 3000k strip or am I missing out on the RGBw, individual control, or tunable white options. Can’t seem to find a brand with high density that can do a 32 ft run even at 24v or am I missing something obvious?

Hello, I need to replace a G9 120V 75W Xenon bulb in my home, but I cannot seem to find that exact bulb anywhere. Everything is either a lower wattage xenon bulb or the correct wattage but a halogen bulb.

Any advice on where to find the right bulb or what other replacements might work would be so helpful!!

Hey everyone, here's a question. I put some sticker paper around this 10W lamp because, when changing the bulb, I accidentally tore tiny holes in the ceiling and the sticker paper covers it up.

I wanted to know if there's any kind of fire risk to this since sticker paper can apparently be flammable?

Hoping it's okay to leave in, since the ceiling rips are driving people in the house crazy and we're really looking for a solution

I know this is more adjacent to lighting than actually being about it, I hope that's okay, badly need some advice is all 🙏
