hi
i am a homeowner shopping for light fixtures that i will have
installed. i have not yet decided on the installer.

This is a DIY group, not HSN.

i have 3 ceiling light fixtures that i dislike.

Your wife uses them for sex toys.

they are all the same and
are in the den, hallway & bathroom; they are 1 lamp units. all of the
fixtures that i like have 2 lamps. can i install a 2 lamp fixture in
place of a 1-lamp fixture?

No, you can't. You already stated that you'd be hiring the job out,
because you're too stupid to use a screwdriver.

is it going to cost a lot?

Yes. About $350 per fixture.

will i have to run \"2nd
lamp wiring?\" or, can i use existing wiring?

You aren't doing the job yourself, so why do you care? But to answer
your question, if the insulation on the wire is labeled "this ****
will work for two lamps, Maynard" then you're good to go.

OR do you know of any sites that have attractive 1 lamp fixtures?

No. All the 1 lamp fixtures are butt ugly, like your sister.

thank you for your time.

You're welcome. Here is another tip: This is USENET, and you won't
actually see and profit from my wisdom, because the stinking
homeowner's hub doesn't like me.

Sparky, errrr....Smitty:

Can we get an NEC cite for your advice?

Thanks,
