How to play Light Up

Light every corner of the room without any two bulbs shining on each other.

The rules

  1. Place bulbs so that every white square is lit. A bulb lights its row and column until a black square.
  2. No bulb may sit in another bulb's light.
  3. A number on a black square says exactly how many bulbs touch it, above, below, left and right.

A quick example

The 1 has one neighbour inside the grid on its row, so the bulb goes there.

Tips

Most puzzles take 3 to 10 minutes.
