saved the cost Of ceiling and
wall fixtures. But entirely
aside from the economic
angle, the idea caught
the public fancy. It became
fashionable. And many
thousands Of fixtures in old
houses were removed in favor
Of the wall switch-outlet sys-

In the mid-50s. installed
lighting came into vogue
again. not In any sweeping
manner, but very gradually.
The biggest gain was in 1860.
And now comes the predic-
ton Of the American Home
Lighting Institute that new
and remodeled homes this
year will have more installed
lighting fixtures in living
rooms and bedrooms than
have been seen in more than
Is years.
The prediction is based on
a survey Of private builders
Of sma all and large-scale
housing developments. Up to
now. the biggest growth in
the return to installed light
ing and built-in lighting,
which consists of cornices
and valances providing in
direct light, has been in the
custom-home field.
Those who favor installed
lighting make this point:
when fixtures decreased in
popularity, bulb wattageS in
lamps we're increased. but be-
cause Of shade design and
the lack Of reflectors, they
still didn't provide enough
light to make the average
room adequately lighted un-
