First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.

The housing for high-quality recessed lighting can last a lifetime. But how long the bulbs last depends on the type you choose. LED lights are the most common and tend to last the longest, often 30,000 to 40,000 hours. Compare that to incandescent bulbs, which only last for 1,000 hours or so.

Installation typically takes 1-3 hours per fixture. Larger projects may require additional time.

Solar tubular lights, also referred to as tubular daylighting devices, are the most viable alternative to skylights on the market. These lights direct sunlight from the roof through a tube and into the ceiling. They also have the ability to bend around anything that may get in their way, making them adaptable to most spaces. Though they don’t offer quite as much light as a traditional skylight, they’re still an amazing alternative that can provide you with that natural light you crave.
