✨ How to Wire Bulbs in Parallel: Easy DIY Lighting Upgrade! 💡
Hey besties! If you’re looking to upgrade your space with cozy, customizable lighting, you’ve come to the right place. Today, I’m breaking down how to wire bulbs in parallel—a super simple way to make your lighting setup more flexible, reliable, and absolutely Insta-worthy. Let’s get into it!
🔌 What Is Parallel Wiring?
In a parallel circuit, each bulb connects independently to the power source. That means if one bulb burns out, the rest keep shining bright—no more awkward dark spots! It’s perfect for string lights, pendant lamps, or even creating your own custom lamp setup.
⚡ Why Go Parallel? Key Benefits:
1️⃣ Reliability: One bulb fails? The show goes on!
2️⃣ Brightness Control: Each bulb glows at full intensity—no dimming issues.
3️⃣ Easy Expansions: Add or remove bulbs anytime without affecting the others.
🛠️ What You’ll Need:
- LED or incandescent bulbs (I’m obsessed with these warm white Edison bulbs 🧡)
- Lamp holders or sockets
- Electrical wire (stranded copper works best!)
- Plug or power supply
- Wire strippers
