Bulbs/Lights
LED bulbs are the most energy-efficient. They have a longer lifespan, consume less power, and provide consistent light without producing much heat. Moreover, they are available in various light colors and intensities.
First, ensure the power is turned off. Gently twist the broken bulb counterclockwise until it comes out. Install the new bulb by turning it clockwise. Then, turn the power back on.
Spotlights/Ceiling Lights
First, measure the location where you want the spotlights. Carefully drill a hole at the measured spot, ensure the power is turned off, and connect the wires following the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, fix the spotlight in place.
Yes, LED spotlights are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, and don’t get as hot as halogen spotlights. They are also more flexible in terms of light intensity and color.
Door Lamps
Motion sensors provide automatic illumination when motion is detected, ensuring safety and convenience. They also save energy by lighting up only when needed.
Some door lamps come with dimming functions or different lighting modes, allowing you to adjust the intensity. It depends on the model and the features it offers.
Light Strip
Many light strips come with a self-adhesive back that can be directly stuck onto a clean, dry surface. For added security, mounting clips can be used.
Some light strips are waterproof and specifically designed for outdoor use, but not all. It’s crucial to consult the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations.
Switches

Yes, there are smart switches available that connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. With these, you can control the lighting using your smartphone, voice assistants, or even set up automation scenarios.
Others
Yes, many lighting options offer various colors and light modes, often controlled by a remote or a smartphone app.
For larger spaces, consider using layers of light, like ambient, task, and accent lighting. It’s also essential to select the right light intensity and use strategically placed lamps for even coverage.
