That's true of good lighting, too. The essentials of quantity and quality must be blended carefully, if your home is to be properly lighted. Take the right amount of light for the task you want to do. Distribute it so that it is free from glare and harsh contrasts. Mix it well and thoroughly so it blends smoothly with your home furnishings and decorations. The result will be your best investment—home lighting that is good for beauty, for health and for safety. Call your Edison office for expert advice on home lighting. This advisory service is available without charge. Proper lighting keep Eyes Right!
