Lights are a great way to enhance the prosperity of your space. Vastu and feng shui consultant Rashi Gaur lists a few tips on how to use it right.

To have a bright and rewarding career, place bright lights in the south zone. But be careful about the source of light. Spot lights on the south wall are a great source of positive energy. Red and orange lamps in round shape lamps in this area increase the chances of success. Avoid lamps that are thin and have a stick-like structure as it will create problems in the career.
Crystal chandeliers are another great way of energizing the south zone for career success. When placed in the centre of the house, it enhances the earth energy, which brings good tidings into the house.
If your temple is in the East, North or North East direction, use white and off-white lighting and avoid red to stay away from negative energy.
Fairy lights are a great way to add warmth to your balcony and garden. Ensure that you use the right colours for the right zone when adding them to your space. Red and orange for South, yellow for South West and North East, white for North West and West, blue for North and green for East and South East.
The path leading to your main door should not be dark and dingy. If it is well lit, it will attract prosperity to your space.
Bright light at the staircase landing is considered to be very auspicious and attracts good energies.
Place a family portrait in the South West direction of your space with a bright light falling on it to bring good health and good luck to family members.
Use soft and mellow lights in the bedroom to help you relax.
We often like to light candles when guests are visiting. While doing so, keep the candles lit in the South or the South West zone of the house to attract positive energy. Do not place lit candles in the East or North zone of the house as it is not auspicious. Also, ensure that fused bulbs and lights are immediately replaced by new ones.
