Unrelated to the iPhone but related to lights, make sure you buy an LED light bulb to replace your broken one. They may cost a bit more, but compared to 5 years ago they have come way down in price. It takes much less power so if somebody leaves it on it's less expensive and it will last for years and years, most good LED bulbs nowadays have a life span of 20,000 or 25,000 hours which is almost 7 years to 8.5 years if they were on 8 hours each day every day of the year. You can get LED bulbs which are equivalent to a 40 Watt bulb and which typically use about 6.5 Watts, a 60 Watt equivalent usually uses around 9 or 10 Watts and a 100 Watt equivalent uses around 13 to 15 Watts. If your switch is a dimmer switch make sure the LED bulb supports it, some don't, but they definitely have those which support it.

Hi, Well, thank you so much. To be honest I am so fed up with Seeing AI, as I tried working with it for several months, and still it is a no go situation, so I will delete it from my phone, and purchase the Voice stream Scanner, and probably the Voice Dream Reader as well. Thank you again!

Try using the light detector on the seeing AI app. It works great in situations where you need to check lights.
