    Tell me I need an electrician...
    Hey gang,

    Removed old flushmount in kitchen ceiling that had 3 incandescent bulbs. Two wires coming down from attic--knob and tube for this particular fixture, I think. No box in the ceiling. Old fixture was connected to a metal hanger connected with wood filler strips. Wires just come through a hole. New two-light incandescent is rated at 90c, of course. I'd like to use 40 or 60 watt screw-in halogens in the new fixture.

    Thanks for the help

    As long as the fixture is rated at least 60 watts for each lampholder, and can handle the lamp, your fine.
