Lamps & Lighting Remedies for 2026
with Kerstin Tracy
Welcome to the Year of the Fire Horse with Period 9 Support
Light is one of the fastest ways to shift energy in a home - because light is yang qi in action. In Feng Shui, lighting doesn’t just brighten a room; it wakes up the space, increases movement, and changes how the energy circulates. And in 2026 (the Fire Horse year), red and orange lighting can be a powerful way to support the momentum, confidence, visibility, and vitality. Where a room feels dull, heavy, or stuck, the right light can instantly create more lift, clarity, and forward motion.
And in 2026 (the Fire Horse year), that matters even more. Fire Horse energy is bold, fast, and catalytic. It’s excellent for breakthroughs, leadership, visibility, sales, inspiration, and confident action, but it can also feel intense if your home is already overstimulating. That’s why red and orange lighting (warm Fire element tones) can be a powerful remedy: it strengthens momentum, supports motivation, and helps you “show up” energetically when used intentionally and in the right locations.
This page is designed to help you use red/orange lamps, amber bulbs, salt lamps, and warm lighting as simple, practical remedies and activations (without making your home look like a holiday display or turning your nervous system up to 10). You’ll learn what counts as a Fire activation, how to choose the right kind of glow, and how to use it in a way that feels supportive, calming, and beautiful.
Most importantly: placement matters. In Feng Shui, the same remedy can be helpful in one sector and harmful in another - especially in a year with shifting annual energies. That’s exactly why this resource is meant to be used alongside your 2026 Personalized Feng Shui Guide.
Want to apply this guidance precisely to your home? Your 2026 Personalized Feng Shui Guide tells you:
Where warm light strengthens your Wealth, Health, and Relationship luck in 2026
Which sectors want activation (light helps) vs. which sectors need calming (light may backfire)
How to time your activations so your space supports you consistently, not randomly
When you combine these lighting remedies with your personalized map, you’re not guessing—you’re making targeted adjustments that create real, noticeable change.
What Counts as a “Red/Orange Light Remedy”?
You have options. You do not need neon or harsh overhead lighting. Red and orange lighting remedies are among the easiest “set it and feel it” Feng Shui tools because they work through color, brightness, and warmth to activate Fire element qi. The good news: this doesn’t have to mean harsh red bulbs or loud décor. In most homes, the most effective approach is a warm, steady glow that feels inviting and intentional. Below are simple options that qualify as red/orange Fire activations so that you can choose what fits your style, your nervous system, and the specific recommendations in your 2026 guide.
Table lamps with warm bulbs (soft glow)

Important note: In traditional Feng Shui, some yearly influences do not respond well to Fire (especially certain challenging combinations). If you’re not sure, don’t guess—use your personalized guide so you place remedies that support you rather than amplify problems. Your 2026 guide tells you: which sectors want activation (light helps), which sectors need calming remedies (light may not help), and how to balance Fire with other elements so the result feels supportive, not chaotic.
