Most likely, but check with your building inspector.  You may want to do that anonymously, if you get my drift.

It depends. \n\nIf this is about when in the product development timeframe it need to be approved, then it can be done last. I would, however, make sure that your product has a UL category that it can be applied to.\n\nIf this is about which types of products need to be approved, then consider most devices which carry enough energy to be harmfull need approval. This would be most any AC voltage, or DC voltages above 48V.  Also if the amount of wattage exceeds 250W, (im guessing here) it would need to be considered. Stored mechanical energy is also important too.\n\nIf an electrical product has the UL label, any electrician should be able to hook it up without complaining. A consumer product, like a desktop lamp, TV, etc, are somewhat liable-free when it's UL approved.

I am a certified electrican btw.  A ballast in a flourescent light fixture provides the right voltage supply to the flourescent light tube.  The ballast is basically a step up - or step down transformer, which means just an increase or decrease in voltage to the lighting tube.  The ballast also controlles the voltage/power from the actual power supply from the building, beacuse this power can fluxuate up and down, and/or have a very messy sign-wave.  The volage must stay in a certin small limit range for the light to work properly.  Ballast are getting better for the quaility of light they put ie, colour, less flicker.  And they are also now more power efficent - ballast with a T8 marking on them are the newer kind, old T5's can be very hot to the touch and could also contain PCB's with are harmfull to your health.  Contact an electrian if you find an old ballast that is leaking , that does not have the saying "PCB free, or doesnot contain PCB's.  LOL this is prolly more then you asked for but here it is anyway.  And if this isnt enough here is an intesnse explination of a ballast \nhttp://home.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=question337.htm&url=http://www.thekrib.com/Lights/fluor-tech.html

If you touch a live wire or if power lines are downed and you happen to be there or a circuit is short and you touch the pole or street lamp, you will be electricuted by accident.\n\nIn some countries death sentnce is given by electricuting the criminal on an electric chair.

I am willing to do something about it. I recycle things all the time and travel on public transport all the time. If you would like to find out more of ways to save energy around the home there are plenty of websities to help you.

change all your lightbulbs to the energy saving flourescent ones.  and try and carpool when necessary to save on gas.  Turn your thermostat down a few degrees and just be aware.

"The Garden State is one of two states where it's illegal to fill 'er up yourself. Only gas station owners or employees can pump gas in New Jersey and Oregon -- "the only two states atavistic, sadistic, and masochistic enough to still require thousands of 'professionals' to waste time, money, and inconvenience customers," according to one columnist. \nThe ban on self-service gas stations is a highly combustible issue and makes for some heated debates. New Jersey passed the law making it illegal to pump your own gas in 1949. At the time, legislators felt it was too dangerous to have untrained people dispensing such a flammable liquid. \n\nThat may have been sensible at the time, but pumping gas is much safer today, and some motorists feel the ban is outdated and needs to go. Opponents of the law argue that removing it would lower the cost of gas and make refueling much quicker and more convenient. Proponents of the ban argue that it creates jobs and customers like full service. \n\nWhatever your position on the matter, next time you're in Jersey and need to refuel, take the opportunity to relax in the comfort of your car while the gas station attendant does the dirty work."

I dont have an Exact answer, however there is an antique store here in phx called the Stuff, and they sell 2,000-$30,000 antique lamps,,, I would bet they could point you in the right direction.

it depends on the voltage the battery is prescribed to run at...which is gen 230v/220v and so u cant power the light bulb with the battery which is almost of 3v. or else its fine use a bulb holder along with its wires and place them one to the -ve terminal and the other to the positve terminal

What does the electric company say? I'm inclined to think he cannot prevent the wires. "Easement" is the legal term you should search on.

It should say right on the label on the tank that you must not store the tanks indoors. If one of the valves failed or was opened up by a small child, it could spark and make a huge explosion. . . not to mention it would poison your house with the gas.\nThat is why you always see those "exchange a tank" places keeping their tanks outside. (Like at Home Depot)

There's a website with the Lemon Laws in the state of Ohio.  It really depends on who you bought it from though (ie dealer or private party).\n\nhttp://www.yourlemonlawrights.com/state_laws/ohio.htm

I imagine that what is being referred to here is the wiring throughout a home. Basically it takes the mains electricity from the street, runs it through a meter box and some fuses or circuit breakers to prevent fires and electrocution, and then it runs to the lights on one circuit and the power outlets on another circuit.\n\nHope this is what you mean?

As far as I know, the FEDERAL ( not state ) government passed an energy bill in the late 1970's that REQUIRES any local co-op to purchase available surplus electric power from their customers who have generation capability.\n\nIf your local co-op is NOT doing this, they are NOT in compliance with Federal regulations...Contact your Senator...He can QUICKLY resolve the situation...And will be GLAD to do so for the publicity...

It used to be like that with fluorescent lights only, but not anymore.  See this article.\n\nhttp://www.eweb.org/business/energy/energysmart/ebd/9811/lighting_myth.htm

I did a search on the web & it yielded nothing, so I'm guessing the City of Aurora hasn't posted it anywhere, which probaby means you are going to have to call city hall & specifically ask for the city ordinances thereof...good luck & have fun

Gasoline and a lighted match, perhaps?
