I'm a Power User

In Canada, this is the third day of an annual, civic long weekend. In British Columbia it's called BC Day. It's a great time of year to have a three-day weekend. Vancouver hosts the Pride Parade during this weekend. Other than that we didn't do much special. Of course, we just got back from a five-night trip to Alberta but that aligned with my birthday.

Earlier during the weekend, I replaced an old ceiling light in the bedroom with a cheap, 12" flush-mount LED light.  Today, I put the other in the utility closet.  It was honestly less than a ten-minute job.  The lights can be adjusted and we kept the setting on a bluer hue because of its location and purpose.

Now, I'm expanding my electrical experience by ordering modern switches for these two lights.  All the switches in the apartment are 35-year-old, traditional type. I'm not going to bother going through the whole place and replacing them with toggle switches.  Aesthetically, the newer ones might be nicer but I have dozens of WIFI bulbs. My lighting is under Google Assistant voice control and I never ever need to touch many physical wall switches.  For example, after I get under the bed covers, I often say things such as, "Hey, Google, turn off the living room lights."

So, I'll start with just two, single-pole switches for our new lights.  I can start replacing more, if the exercise proves enjoyable.  The prices were the same on Amazon.ca as on HomeDepot.ca.  I'll let my delivery guy bring 'em to my door, even though he won't be able to deliver the switch plate covers until Wednesday.  LOL
