I am with a small landscape lighting company and need help with the design of a fixture.
specifically low voltage lighting. LED lighting knowledge a plus

you haven't defined the application/usage of the lighting...

Unidirectional ? Omnidirectional ? Swivel ? fixed ? Array ? standalone ? halogen ? LED ? polarized ? rechargeable solar ? hardwire ? plastic ? metal alloy ? decorative ?watt/electricity limits ? other design limitations or parameters ?

Anyhow, an engineering or home fixtures company could assist you.

I want to replace my outdoor wall-mounted light by my front door. The one I have now also has an outlet on it. I find this very handy to plug in my weed whacker, etc. I can't seem to find an outdoor light that comes with the outlet. Have they been discontinued?
Thanks HVAC, I did check in those stores. I guess they don't make them anymore.

I have not seen one in a long time. Check at Lowes? home depot? Another thing you could do is when the light is replaced have an outlet wired into the light circuit in the wall, it should not be very difficult for an electrician

does anyone know where i might find the 50's and 60's style outdoor lights that were mainly used for cabins and buildings at summer camps...i have a pavillion in my backyard and would love to have that style lamps in it thanks....

You've already checked out the big box stores online...... and googled for exterior lighting......
Next stop is a lighting store in your city....
good luck

I installed two outdoor light fixtures (non-sensor) which are controlled by one indoor on/off switch. I wired black wire to black wire, white to white, and grounded it. I did this for both light fixtures. When I go to turn on the lights, one works, and one doesn't. It's definitely not the actual light fixture, I tired switching them. The part that messes me up is that both outlets have power coming out of the black wires (I tested it with a electric beeper thing). What on earth am I missing? Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Are there two outlets or just one with two receptacles? Are the lights on either side of the door? Here is what you should have, From the outlet there should be black and white with a ground going into the switch box From both lights you should have the same, black, white and gnd, Inside the switch box twist all 3 white wires and wirenut them, twist the grounds together and leave one pig tail to the green screw on the switch. You should have one black wire alive and two without. If all three are touched together both lights should come on. This is only a test so don't twist them together.If both lights work then we move on to finish this job. Take the two dead blacks and screw one onto the bottom screw and the other into the small hole near the screw (this is called back stabbing) Now take the alive black and screw that to the top screw. Test the light, as they should both work

Send an update or email me If you only have one dead black from the lights tells me the problem will be in the connections at the first light

I have no front light in front of my house. I have a mud room at my front door with no access to the small attic area above it. there is a ceiling light in the mudroom though. i want to tap into that and somehow go through the vinyl siding and install a light fixture. how would I do that with the vinyl siding ?

First, I would have ask, how you plan to tap the ceiling light? Is there power there or is it just a switch leg?
As for installing a light in vinyl siding, they make a piece called a "J-Block" should be available at any home store the carries siding, you should also install a junction box for the wires, and for the fixture to mount to, this reqired by code.
If there is not permanant power in the ceiling fixture the outside light will have to be operated by the same switch as the ceiling light, if there is power, you can install a switch below in outside light, if there is wall space below. Good luck, hope this helps you.
