LIGHTING THE LIVING ROOM

when we want to be sure we have
good lighting in the living room: 1.
Do we have plenty of light where
we need it? 2. Are all the bulbs well
shaded so that we do not have any
glare? 3. Does the lighting equipment
look well in the room, and does 1t
fit both lighted and unlighted with
the furniture and WOODWORK
PORTABLE LAMPS
Portable lamps include floor lamps,
table lamps and small pedestal lamps,
candlesticks, torches, etc., for man
tel and bookcase. The best port
able lamps have shades which are
deep enough to hide the bulbs and
dense enough to prevent glare. These
are shown in the picture at the bot
ON of page z. Some are built to send
more light up toward the ceiling as
well as down toward the table or
floor. These use large bulbs and are
designed to provide general lighting
by reflection from the ceiling as we'll
as local lighting. Portable lamps
from which more is required tnan
merely decoration will need bulbs
which have total of SO to 100-watts
or more; in the interests of economy,
those which are merely decoration
do not need more than 25-watt bulb.
Duplex outlets in the Dashboard per-
NIT the greatest convenience and use
of portable lamps for lighting.

The living room is usually not
ONLY the largest room in the house,
but it is also the room that is most
used. In most homes it serves rs
the sitting room, the parlor, the IL
brary and the music room.
Because we do so many different
things in this room, we need lighting
that can be changed and varied to
suit our purpose. For example, #
we wish to entertain our friends by
dancing or playing cards, we should
be able to flood the whole room with
plenty of soft, cheerful light; If we
wish to read and sew, we should be
able to have the light come over
our shoulder from behind favorite
chair; if we wish to play the piano
and sing, we should have the music
well lighted. At all times the light
ing effect should be pleasant and at
tractive.
To get these effects, we need three
different kinds of lighting equipment
In the room. First We have fix
ture hung from the ceiling with which
we can flood the room with light;
then we have table lamps and floor
lamps which are portable and can be
moved about as furniture is rearang-
ed, to give good reading light. Fin
ally, we may have bracket fixtures on
the walls, which give us charming
spots of colored light-nevcr too
brights and only used to add attrac-

dense enough, and that some glare is
present.
The use of all frosted bulbs will
often do away with shadows of chains
which would otherwise be cast on
the ceiling.
WALL BRACKETS
Sometimes people try to provide
general lighting for the entire room
with wall brackets. Except under
unusual circumstances, this leads to
one result-the use of larger bulbs
whose brightness is annoying.
Bracket fixtures on the walls are
merely decorative spots of colored
light. Since they are almost always
directly in front of the eyes Of some
one in the room, light bright
enough to furnish useful lights soon
becomes annoying and causes eye
strain.
It is most important that these
be well shaded, so that glare does
not prevent their effectiveness as a
beautiful decoration. The use of bulbs
larger than the Is or 25 watt size
cannot be recommended.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-10-23

tive decoration to our other lighting.
uBulbs" are known by the amount
of electricity it takes to light them.
The unit by which they are classified
is the "Watt" and bills for electric
lighting current are rendered in
terms of "kilowatt-hour." which
il one thousand watts for one hour,
or one hundred watts for ten hours.
The total watts needed in any room
depends upon the size of the room,
the kind of fixtures used, the color
of the decorations and the lighting
effect wanted. In most rooms good
lighting may require as little as one
or as much as five watts Of bulbs
for each square foot of floor area
in the room.
Here are the things to think about

in the eyes of everyone seated at
the table, but if it is put down closer
to the table, as at (D) the fixture
completely hides the bulb, and We
have excellent dining room lighting
without glare. For most fixtures it
is best to see that the bottom of the
shades is not more than SO inches
above the table for (A) and "a inch
es above the table for (D). Where
candle fixtures are used, shades are
needed not only to protect the eyes
from the glare, but to reflect some
of the light which would otherwise
go up to the ceiling or down on the
table.
The fixtures over the table will
need bulbs with a total of from 100
to 200 watts.
OTHER LIGHTING
Bracket fixtures on the walls and
candlesticks on the buffet may be
used to add decoration, provided they
are well shaded an are not so bright
as to be annoying or to produce
glare and eyestrain. When they are
used, the bulbs should not be larger
than Is or 25 watts.
Convenience outlets should be in
stalled for electric appliances. If
used on the Dining table, conven-
fence outlet may be placed in the
floor under the table, or on the under
side of the table itself, so that the
unsightly cord need not hang from a
bulb socket and caose one part of the
lighting fixture to be dark. Duplex
convenience outlets which permit the
use of two appliances may be INSTALL
ed for practically the same cost AZ
the older style single outlets.

In some ways the dining room is
just the opposite of the living room.
The living room has many different
uses, but the dining room is seldom
used except at meal times. In the
living room the furniture is moved
about and changed, but in the dining
room the arrangement of furniture
rarely changes.
The dining table is in the center of
the room, and it is the center of in
terest. 1t should be the most bright
ly lighted object In the whole room.
There are number of different kinds
of fixtures which may be hung from
the ceiling to provide good lighting,
and almost all of them may be used
improperly to provide bad lighting.
THE CENTER CEILING FIXTURE
Whatever the kind of fixture, it is
important that eyes of anyone seated
at the. table be protected against the
glare of the bulbs which furnish the
light. There are two ways to do this.
1. Be sure that the shades are long
enough, and of the right shape. For
example, the next picture shows
fixture on which one bulb (A) IS well
shaded and the other bulb OBJ is
badly shaded.
The shade which is narrower at
the bottom protects the eyes of the
person at the table. 2. For q given
shade, be sure the fixture is low
enough over the table (but not so
low as to be in the way or make it
impossible to see the person sitting
opposite.)
Now look at the fixture in (C)
and (D). When this fixture is as
high above the table as it is at (C)
the glare from the bulb is directly
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-10-23

The bulbs in these fixtures vary in
number, but the total watts neces-
sary for good lighting is from 100
to $50 watts.
The shades may be of glass, silk
or. parchment. They should COM
pletely hide the bulb and should be
dense enough so that the whole sur
face of the shade is evenly lighted.
A bright spot in the center Of the
shade means, that the shade is not
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-10-23
THE CEILING FIXTURE

Unless the living room is very
large only one fixture is need on
the ceiling. However, if the room is
long and narrow, perhaps twice as
long as it is wide, two ceiling fixtures
should be used.
There are several kinds of fixtures
which will provide good lighting in
the living room. Some Of these are
shown in the Home Lighting Primer
on page %. Some are shown in the
next picture.
