Article 1: Dim View of Bad Lighting / Voiced In Home Ec Talk / Lighting techniques are more important than the equipment used, a residential lighting specialist told members of the Virginia Home Economics Association today at Hotel Roanoke. / Miss Aileen M. Page, of General Electric Company’s Large Lamp Department at Nela Park, Ohio, cited pole lamps and goose neck study lamps as examples of bad lighting. / “Pole lamps,” she said, “never should have come on the market in the first place.” / If aimed at the wall or a picture, this type of illumination serves a purpose, but if directed into a room for reading purposes, anyone other than the reader would need blinders, she explained. / Also in this category, according to Miss Page, is a new high intensity lamp—fine for extra lighting and versatile because of its portability—but never to replace other lights. / If a book page seems too brightly illuminated, Miss Page said, it is most probably because “there is too much light on the book and not enough surrounding the person.” / “Look at the beautiful home interiors illustrated in leading magazines,” she said. “Without the photographer’s skillful light, they wouldn’t look the same because few are properly fitted with lighting equipment.” / Miss Page, a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society, urged “more followers of proper lighting to overcome the manufacturers belief that design is more important than performance.” / “There seems to be a general belief on the part of manufacturers that you can’t mix form and performance and come up with a salable lamp,” she declared. / “This is not the case,” said Miss Page. “With a few simple design changes, many portable lamps on the market today would be capable of delivering much more light without destroying their decorative qualities. / Lamp makers and buyers alike need to pay more attention to what’s under the shade, she noted. Small changes there could result in big increases in light performance. / She asked the group to emphasize education in lighting techniques in its home economics classes. / Following her talk, Lt. Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr. was a luncheon speaker. New officers for the home economics state group were to be announced later today.
