It’s a sign the renovation is complete when the lights are hung from the ceiling. Today mine went up, a moment I’ve waited for for 8 months.

Went to the store, bought the wrong 25 watt bulbs, couldn’t handle more waiting, so used what I had on hand – the 40 watts.

Was upstairs organizing when I had a doubting thought, so I texted my electrician.

When that giant no came in I hurried to switch it all off. My electrician doesn’t use hyperbole. The guest room smelled faintly of burning.

The moment was so anti-climactic omg.

Max means max. 25 means 25.

He brought me these ones wow, never seen such fancy bulbs, they’re LEDs.

LEDs consume less energy to produce more light,
and will last 15+ years.

Now we know.
