## Part 1
9 years ago
Add DOM event listeners to toggle the on/off state of three bulbs.
9 years ago
- When a user clicks on the "Stop" button, the top bulb should turn `red`.
- When a user clicks on the "Slow" button, the middle bulb should turn `orange`.
- When a user clicks on the "Go" button, the bottom bulb should turn `green`.

**TIP**: All three bulbs can be on/off independently of one another.

## Part 2
9 years ago
Add new DOM event listeners to log the mouse state of each button.
- When a user's mouse "enters" a button, log `"Entered <textContent> button"` to the console.
- When a user's mouse "leaves" a button, log `"Left <textContent> button"` to the console.
**TIP:** Each event type will need a separate event listener.
### Resources
- [MDN - `mouseenter`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/mouseenter)
- [MDN - `mouseleave`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/mouseleave)
## Bonus
Add **one** new DOM event listener to log the state of each bulb.
- When a user clicks a button that just turned on, log`"<textContent> bulb on"` to the console.
- When a user clicks a button that just turned off, log`"<textContent> bulb off"` to the console.
**TIP:** A click on only a button should cause a message to be logged to the console.
