Create a bulb and putting it up together
Make a marquee selection that will look like a light bulb and realign/resize the selection by going to Select > Transform Selection.

Fill with a yellow color (doesn’t matter what hue, we’re going to be changing all the colors).

Deselect the selection (“Ctrl + D”) and then Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. I chose 3.5 px for the blur radius.

Lower the opacity to 80% and then with the shadow layer still selected, Ctrl + Click the main lamp layer, then Shift + Ctrl + Click on the gray layer. Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection and then press “Del”.
Step 7. Select the lamp main layer and then Ctrl + Click it. Select the following colors (or something close to it).
