That Clean Lamps Mean
Better Light-Metier Sight
0
RE YOU getting all the light you pay for? Even
though electricity is cheap and unrationed, and
even though you certainly know the value of good light
for good sight... you may be overlooking one thing.
The GRIMfins may be stealing much of the
light you should be getting from your lighting
fixtures!
Yes, even a thin film of dust or dirt over lamp bulbs can
detract from their lighting effectiveness. Dirty reflector
bowls, dark or dirty lamp shades, lamp shades of the
wrong shape, all of these things are enemies of better
light for better sight... and all so easily eliminated!
Why not make it part of your regular cleaning routine
to check the cleanliness of your lighting fixtures, your
bulbs and shades and reflectors ... that way you'll get
the MOST out of your CHEAP electricity!
i:'" '"’"**''**'.|||
r j 1. Clean lamp bowls and lamp bulbs
regularly. Dry thoroughly before
using again.
2. Keep shade linings light and clean.
Clean or brush regularly. Repaint or ; .j
reline dark-colored or parchment
shades.
3. Place lamps for greatest use . . . If
one lamp, properly placed, can serve l 1
several needs.
; i y
t. Do NOT get sockets, plugs or
cords wet when cleaning.
N 5. One 100-watt bulb gives more ]
, | light (50% more) than four 25-watt
bulbs
