Lighting isn’t just about aesthetics — it plays a big role in how a home is evaluated during inspections. Whether you’re preparing to sell or helping a client stage their space, these lighting tips can help make a great impression and avoid red flags.

1. Replace Outdated Fixtures
Old or poorly installed lighting can signal bigger electrical issues. Swap outdated or flickering lights for modern, reliable options.

2. Inspect Junction Boxes and Wiring
Heavy chandeliers or ceiling fans need secure mounting and grounded wiring. If it looks off, a home inspector will flag it.

3. Upgrade to LEDs
Smart buyers notice energy-efficient upgrades. Replacing old bulbs with LEDs is a small cost that adds modern appeal.

4. Add Layers of Light
Rooms with poor lighting can appear smaller or neglected. Use layered lighting — ceiling, wall, and table — to create a bright, inviting atmosphere.

5. Pay Attention to Dimmers and Switches
Non-functional or buzzing dimmer switches are a common inspection fail. Make sure all switches are working and safely installed.
