Lights that have been turned on or off manually, or that have been turned on by a [[burglar alarm]], will go back to automatic at 8:00 am. These clickable lamps also have bulbs that will periodically burn out and need to be replaced. The [[repairman]] will replace these bulbs. Sims can replace bulbs themselves, but may get [[electrocution|electrocuted]], though having even a low level of [[mechanical]] skill greatly reduces the risk of being electrocuted when changing a bulb.
