I am installing a kitchen light fixture in the ceiling. While pulling down the old fixture the green ground wire broke. The new Fixture has a green ground wire. Where do I ground it to now?

The fixture box should have a ground screw on the bottom of the box. Sometimes you have to move other wires out of the way to see it. Just reconnect the fixture ground wire to this screw.

How do you change a fluorescent bulb?
Ok I bought an apartment with a recessed light fixture in the shower. The bulb blew out and its been driving me nuts trying to figure out how to fix it, but I finally figured it out. The lens cover sits absolutely flush against the ceiling. I put my fingernails beneath the rim of cover (around the outside of the fixture between it and the ceiling) and pulled straight down as hard as I could. I thought I was going to pul the entire fixture out of the ceiling, but instead, the lens cover finally lowered. It was held on by a pair of U-shaped springy wires that put pressure on the inside of the lighting fixture and holds it in place. So pretty much, to remove the lens cover, I had to pry it off. Then once I changed the bulb, I simply pushed the cover back in place
Why do your recessed kitchen lights go out intermittently?
Recessed lights or "can lights" have thermal protection for safety that cuts the power to a light fixture if it heats to a set temperature. Obviously, this is to protect the fixture and more importantly, to prevent a fire in the attic. Check for insulation of other material directly above and around the affected light to make sure it has the proper clearance.
How many watts does a light bulb in the kitchen use?
It depends on the lighting fixture and the layout of your kitchen, since most of the work in a kitchen is "task oriented" the wattage should be the same as for reading. To efficiently light a kitchen there should be several sources of light, at least 100 watt or equivalent (from each source), depending on the type of bulbs, would be my recommendation.
Should kitchen fluorescent light be earthed?
Yes, it is recommended to earth the kitchen fluorescent light fixture for safety purposes. Earthing, also known as grounding, helps to prevent electrical shocks in the event of a fault or short circuit in the electrical system. It provides a safe path for current to flow into the ground, protecting both individuals and appliances.

Is there a code for fluorescent light fixture covers?
I do not know of a specific code in the United States. However, a flourescent fixture should be covered if breaking a bulb would create serious problems, such as in a kitchen, a place where children play, etc. In lieu of covering the whole fixture they manufacture tubes that cover the bulbs themselves for the same purpose.
