Turning on the Lights without Feeling for Them in the Dark
Many homes have light switches that are easy to reach or motion-sensing lights that turn on automatically. However, there are still times when we must enter unfamiliar or dark areas and risk bumping into furniture or objects before we can find the light switch. Here are some tips for finding the light switch without feeling around in the dark:
1. Use a flashlight - Keep a small flashlight handy or use your smartphone's flashlight feature to illuminate the way.
2. Clap or whistle - For rooms with sound-activated lights, try clapping or whistling to trigger them.
3. Voice-activated lights - Some homes now feature lights that can be turned on with voice commands, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home devices.
4. Stick-on LED lights - Consider sticking small LED lights in dark corners or closets that lack overhead lighting, so you'll never be left in the dark.
5. Remote control lights - Install remote-controlled lights in areas that are hard to reach, including tall ceilings or behind heavy furniture.
These are just a few ways to easily turn on the lights without feeling around in the dark. The added convenience can save you time and prevent accidents or injuries.
