Home Lamp Safety Checklist
A ten-minute walkthrough to find electrical hazards in your lighting.
Inspect every cord
Look for pinch damage under furniture and pet chewing near the base.
Check bulb wattage
Exceeding the socket rating cooks insulation from the inside out.
Test stability
Top-heavy lamps near stairs or children's rooms need weighted bases.
Retire cube taps
Daisy-chained adapters are a common cause of overheating.
Feel for heat
Any warm socket or dimmer should be looked at.
When to call a professional
