Whole-Home Light Bulb Checklist

• Start with high-use rooms like kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
• Add secondary areas like halls, closets, laundry, basement, garage, and exterior fixtures.
• Keep fixture notes when a room has unusual bulbs or dimmers.

• Combine bulbs that share the same shape, base, brightness, color, and dimming.
• Keep separate groups when any important spec differs.
• Use room names and fixture names so you know where each bulb goes.

Estimate hours per day for each room and compare LED energy cost against incandescent-equivalent cost. Treat it as a planning estimate, not a utility bill.
