Like most people, perhaps you think of your home lightingmainly in terms of its two basic purposes . to provide general
illumination for entire rooms . . . and special light for special
purposes, such as reading or sewing.
Today you can do much more than that with your lighting.Yor.r can use it to help "decorate" your home. Lighting gives youone of lhe most subtle and effective of all methods for creating the"atmosphere" you want . . . for making your home not oniy much
more comforlable, but much more charming.
Naturally you're well acquainted with the various arrange-
ments for lamps and fixtures using incandescent light bulbs-famiiiar in homes everywhere. So this booklet shows you many of
the new ideas made possible by a newer light source-
the long
fluorescent "tube". These exciting modcrn lighting treatments are
based on studies concir-rcted by Sylvania's Residential Lighl"ing
Department.On page 14 _vou'll find both slan<lard anrl brancl new sharles of
light now availablc in incanclescent bulbs - and also thc seven
"shacles ol while" in fluorescent tubes. l'rom Lhese you can choose
exactl-v the shades of light you need Lo enhance your favorite color
schemes -- or to make incandescent and fluorescent blend pleas-
antly togerther.
And because incandescent bulbs continue to be so essential
to home lighting, there's a helpful "What Watt?" table on page
14. It tells you what size buibs to use with incandescenl lamps
and fixtures of all types.

GARDENING AtcoVE Counter top for arranging flowers and
tending house plants encloses a small sink. Cabinet and shelves
beneath hold small garden tools and equipment. Circular shelves
are backlighted by a concealed 20-watt fluorescent tube placed
vertically along each shelf section. Niches on side walls are
lighted at top by recessed 60-watt incandescent units. Glass
panels difiuse the light and aid in growth of plants. A single2O-watt shielded fluorescent lixture is ceiling mounted forgeneral illumination.
With light - and a little imagination - you can
transform an alcove, an extra closet or the unused end of a

practical task. Here are some pleasant ideas you can easily

As you've probably noticed, colors don't ,,look
