Help

  1. Place bulbs in white cells. Light travels horizontally and vertically until a wall or the edge.
  2. Light every white cell. Bulbs must not shine directly on each other. Crossing light rays are allowed.
  3. A wall number counts bulbs directly above, below, left and right. The count must match exactly. Diagonals do not count.
  4. An X means no bulb here. It does not block light. Marking every unused cell is optional.

Ask which cells need light and which can still hold a bulb. An X answers only the second question.
