This was a simple lighting upgrade done in a **single-family home in Atlanta, Georgia**. The room wasn’t bad, it just always felt a little dark, especially in the evenings. **Before photo – old ceiling light**. ![1000024837](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/d/d3ff63750de6be5c0476b0c7f6fe2f14e0a06188.jpeg) The old fixture still worked, so replacing it felt unnecessary at first. But once it came down, we realized it was blocking a lot of light. The new fixture cost under **$100** and was installed in less than an hour. **New light being installed**. ![1000024838](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/5/5b23acb5c4d2aafc978bb29005cbe51e28e21603.jpeg) It’s not a perfect install the ceiling has a small paint mark that still needs touching up but the room feels brighter and more open now. **Evening photo showing improved lighting**. ![1000024839](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/3/34d89a53ef317b6fca1bfe460933a46ed26cc9c7.jpeg) 💡 **Tip** If a room feels off, check the lighting before doing anything expensive. It’s usually the easiest fix. ---
