  Indoors  

 
  • Direct lighting over any stairs increases safety. Contrasting colors between the floor and first step will help you see the difference in height.


  • With two-way switches at the top and bottom of stairways, you'll always be able to turn on the light from either end.

  Outdoors

 
  • Good lighting on steps and stairways helps prevent slips and falls.


  • Be sure there's enough light to see who is at your door.


  • Address markers should be well-lighted and visible from the street.
OUTDOOR LIGHTING
  Light Fixtures

 
  • When changing light bulbs, never exceed the wattage rating for the fixture. Check for a sticker on the base of the lamp socket.

  • Turn off fixtures and light switches before replacing bulbs. If you aren't sure whether the lamp is on or off, unplug it first.

  • Use long-life or fluorescent bulbs where access is difficult. Fluorescent bulbs last longest and also save energy.

  • Make sure your kitchen counters and other work areas are well lighted for safety.
