Abstract
Fluorescent light sources, by their characteristics, have completely upset the classical lighting techniques previously in use and have set new problems in the decorative quality of commercial lighting installations. No decorative lighting for commercial purposes and no luminous sign can be truly satisfactory unless the scheme that is to be carried out by the lighting engineer has in the first place been conceived by an artist pursuing an aesthetic conception regardless of the ultimate purpose of the installation. The author recommends that fluorescent light sources used in such installations should have a predominantly red spectral emission. Incandescent sources can be usefully combined with fluorescent sources. The completed lighting scheme should include one or more spots of colour, either light sources or lighted surfaces, which serve as tonal points of reference by which the colour value of the general lighting can be located.
