FLUORESCENT STREET LIGHTING
The British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd. is also experimenting with an entirely new form of street lighting Mazda 5-ft. 80 watt fluorescent lamps
in specially designed lanterns have been used for experimental street lighting installations with most encouraging results.
Noteworthy features
of the new lighting are its remarkable freedom from glare and its specially pleasing character which does not distort natural colours.
The lanterns can be conveniently suspended on wires stretching across the street between buildings, and street standards, which are
undesirable obstacles on busy pavements, can in many cases be dispensed with.
Fluorescent street ligthing gives such excellent visibiltiy that it should do much to reduce accidents after dark and may well revolutionize
all accepted ideas and methods of street lighting.
The BTH Lighting Advisory Service is available to all concerned with street lighting projects.
