Light conditioning homes

FOR THE FIRST TIME a program to provide better home lighting by the use of definite basic lighting recipes has been introduced. By the end of 1951 about 10,000 demonstration homes throughout the country will be in use to show homemakers better home lighting by the use of these recipes and to acquaint them with its benefits, including easier, safer, and faster seeing and greater eye comfort and protection. The lighting recipes used in this program were originated by Eugene W. Commery, illuminating engineer in charge of the General Electric Company´s residential lighting activities, and the program is sponsored by the General Electric´s Lamp Department, Nela Park, Cleveland, Ohio. The entire program is based on a report developed by the Committee of Residence Lighting of the Illuminating Engineering Society entitled “Functional Visual Activities in the Home and the Location and Extent of Associated Areas to Be Illuminated” which will be published soon.
