@slownsteady and@afjes_2016 - Thanks for the input, but I don't think a florescent tube fixture would fit between the garage door opener motor powerhead and the ceiling, and it would look strange sitting horizontally across the center of the garage. Plus I am trying even the lighting out...

I have a bare bulb light fixture in the in the center of the ceiling of my 2 car garage. The bulb sits directly above the garage door opener. (See picture.) I want to remove the bulb fixture, and run surface mount wiring to either side, so there are 2 light fixtures one on either side...

what is AFCI? I'm not as concerned about the GFCI tripping, as I'm reasonably sure it should hold, since this is a pretty standard item for some bathrooms. I'm concerned about the increased load on the circuit overall causing the stander breaker in the breaker box to trip.

Yes.. thanks for the tips.. :thbup: Would temporarily running a heavy duty extension cable from the bedroom outlet to the bathroom to plug the toilet seat in, be a fair test to see if installing will trip the circuit breaker?

Thanks everyone for the responses! I think I'm going to try this out. Would it be best to run the wire from the newer TV outlet, or the old original installed other? Or does it even matter? For what it's worth, the new outlet would be inches from the original outlet, and a few feet from...

Hi, I apologize if this is a double post.. I tried posting this once before, but it seems like it got lost when I hit the submit thread button.. I want to add a GFCI outlet below the Master Bath toilet to power a Heated Toilet Seat / Bidet (5.5 Amp) for my wife. The only accessible source...
