You are spending much more time at home. There is more
neighborliness too. Living rooms and playrooms have become nightly centers for quiet, comforting entertainment.
Is your living room and playroom prepared for this
purpose with adequate and proper lighting? Is the light
sufficient and properly diffused for easy seeing? Does
your present lighting do all it can to make rooms more
cheerful, attractive and comfortable?
Good lighting should serve to ease eye-tasks as well
as enhance the beauty. or eye-appeal of your home furnishings. Mere brilliance of light is hard on the eyes and
causes ugly shadows in a room. Good light is light that
is well diffused, seft, glareless and easy on the eyes.
A good selection of efficient and attractive lamps and
fixtures is still available. You will have no trouble choosing the styles you willlike. They arereasonably priced too!
Start enjoying good lighting on the home front tonight.
