In reality, improper lighting installation causes fires from overheated fixtures, creates code violations and safety hazards, voids warranties requiring professional installation, and results in poor lighting quality from incorrect fixture selection or placement. Another costly myth suggests that fixture wattage ratings are conservative suggestions, but exceeding ratings overheats fixtures causing fires and dramatically shortens bulb life.
