Light without glare

F. C. Caldwell: The lack of understanding on the part of the public of the whole problem of lighting was well brought out by Mr. Harrison´s paper. One point needs a little more emphasis and that is the erroneous idea that glare is solely a function of brightness. Mr. Harrison has clearly demonstrated that the glare produced by excessive quantity of light is more serious than that produced by too great brightness. This is just one example of the general misapprehension of these simple laws on the part of even intelligent people.
