How do you name your lights? (lemmy.world)

I’m having hard time finding names for the different lights that make sense when I ask my voice assistant to control. I end up with ceiling light, but I have more than one ceiling light, and saying Living room ceiling light is a mouthful. I tried giving funny names but I keep getting confused which is which. How did you name your lights?

I use groups. Office, Living Room, Bedroom, and Kitchen are all groups of multiple lights. But the lights inside the groups are all named like Bob, Karl, or Kathy or something. It works for me, but certainly isn’t for everyone. Lol

We got to lamps that are named Ed and Fred.
