🌷 Spring – Brighten Up After Winter

⬜ Check for any flickering or discolored light bulbs — may indicate a poor connection or aging fixture

⬜ Wipe down indoor fixtures, especially ceiling fans and pendant lights (dust buildup dims light!)

⬜ Replace outdated or yellowing LED bulbs with brighter, energy-efficient options

⬜ Inspect exterior porch and security lights — spring is the perfect time to update or repair

⬜ Test dimmer switches and motion sensors to ensure proper function

💡Did You Know? Dust on bulbs and shades can reduce your lighting output by up to 30% — a quick wipe can brighten your space noticeably!

☀️ Summer – Outdoor & Ceiling Fan Focus

⬜ Clean and balance ceiling fans for smooth, wobble-free operation during warmer months

⬜ Switch ceiling fan direction to counter-clockwise for optimal summer airflow

⬜ Check all outdoor lights — especially motion-sensor and garage fixtures — for function and coverage

⬜ Upgrade patio or deck lighting to improve safety and enhance evening enjoyment

⬜ Look for cracked or discolored fixture covers that may need replacing

💡Did You Know? A wobbly ceiling fan isn’t just annoying — it can wear out the motor faster and become a safety hazard if ignored.

🍂 Fall – Prepare for Shorter Days

⬜ Test all indoor lights for dimming or flickering — swap bulbs or inspect connections

⬜ Install or replace hallway and stairway lighting for darker evenings

⬜ Update or add motion-sensor lights for safety as daylight fades earlier

⬜ Clean and inspect garage and entry lighting before winter sets in

⬜ Tighten any loose light fixture mounts, especially on ceilings

💡Did You Know? Most people underestimate how much lighting affects home safety — especially on stairs or entryways. Fall is the #1 time for trip-and-fall accidents in homes.

❄️ Winter – Indoor Lighting Tune-Up

⬜ Replace hard-to-reach bulbs in fixtures or recessed lighting before the holidays

⬜ Add task lighting in kitchens, offices, or hobby areas for better winter productivity

⬜ Check that timers and smart bulbs are programmed correctly for longer nights

⬜ Inspect ceiling fans with light kits for loose blades or buzzing fixtures

⬜ Look for outdated or inefficient light fixtures that could use a winter upgrade

💡Did You Know? Swapping out just five older bulbs for LEDs can save up to $75 a year — and that’s just for average use!
