Unable to cast to dictionary error in a Tween script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am writing a script for a realistic SOX style street light. They start glowing at a reddish colour and then shift to their normal warm yellowish light after a warmup period. I am trying to use tweens to shift the colours to that over the time given. Only that every time it attempts to tween it just returns a “Unable to cast to Dictionary” error. I’ve already tried looking things up but I’m still stumped as to what is incorrect. I’ve made tweens before that change colours but how come this one doesn’t want to work?
Here is the code that controls the light.

--Realistic LPS script by Almonty7655

local Bulb = script.Parent
local IsOn = Bulb.Parent.IsOn
local StartColor = Color3.fromRGB (255, 0, 21)
local OnColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 115, 0)
local Casing = Bulb.Parent.LampCasing
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

function Start()
	Bulb.Color = StartColor
	Bulb.Light.Color = StartColor
	Casing.Color = StartColor
	Bulb.Material = "Neon"
	Casing.Material = "Neon"
	Bulb.Light.Enabled = true
	Bulb.Transparency = 0
	local tweenInformation = TweenInfo.new(
		20,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false,
		0
	)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(Bulb.Color,tweenInformation,Color3.fromRGB(255, 115, 0))
	local tween2 = TweenService:Create(Casing.Color,tweenInformation,Color3.fromRGB(255, 115, 0))
	local tween3 = TweenService:Create(Bulb.Light.Color,tweenInformation,Color3.fromRGB(255, 115, 0))
	tween:Play()
	tween2:Play()
	tween3:Play()
end

function Stop()
	Bulb.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
	Casing.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
	Bulb.Light.Enabled = false
	Bulb.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
	Casing.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
	Bulb.Transparency = 0.5
end

function Control()
	if IsOn.Value == true then
		Start()
	else
		Stop()
	end
end

IsOn.Changed:Connect(Control)

Instead of giving out Instance.Property as the first parameter, send the instance for the first and send a dictionary with the key Property = value Value as the third parameter.

local tween = TweenService:Create(Bulb,tweenInformation,{Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 115, 0)})

Alright. I’ve gone ahead and implemented the changes now. And I am glad to say that it actually works now! Thank you for your fast reply and assistance.
