You can select from many types of outdoor fixtures those that go best with the style of your home. To prevent annoying glare try to use ivory colored flame-shaped bulbs in lantern fixtures and superwhite buibs in other fixture types. (See page 15 for various types of bulbs.)

Light your living room to make it a charming hospitable background for your entertaining and - your an inviting, comfortabie relaxation center for family's leisure hours. Here especially you want your lighting to play up your furnishings and color scheme and highlight the personal treasures that give your nonr. ii.:"*" distincLive personalitl'. Ideal for your living room are the newer types of fluorescent "built-ins". Like valance, cove and corlighting along windows and walls-and accent lighting for pictures, books, and ornaments. These can provide all the soft general light you'll need for entertaining, taiking, watching TV, or listening to Your Hi-Fi. Reading, writing, table games and other activnice

ities call for more intense lighting close at hand. And for these you need decorative floor and table lamps that give you the exact control of incandescent 3-way
bulbs. To enhance warm color schemes in your living room, use Standard or Deluxe Warm White fluorescent - or the new Softlight incandescent bulbs. For cool color schemes use Deluxe Cool White fluorescent and the new Cool-Light incandescent bulbs. Naturally you'll want to make sure you have plenty of well-placed convenience outlets to allow all the freedom you need in room arrangement. If you have no overhead fixture to snap on from a wall switch as you enter, arrange to have one or more outlets controlled by a switch to turn on portable lamps plugged into them.

For comfortabie viewing, always use background lighting. Otherwise eyes tire easily when TV screen is too bright by contrast with surroundings. However, to turn off any lamps within the viewing -!e careful that will reflcct annoyingly on the screen. SylDgf" Vania "Halo-light" is an ideal example of "built-in"

TV lighting. The normal viewing angle for television lies within a 7O-degree arc or aboul 35 degrees Lo both right and left of screen center. Seating distance should be at least 10 feet away, with the average sized screen. The smaller screens of portable sets may be viewed a little closer. With Color TV, contrast on the screen is usually not as great as with black and white TV and "balanced" background lighting shoulcl practically eliminate e)'estrain. Muted neutral shades are bcst used in the background area for Color TV.
