Abstract :
The illuminating engineer of today is necessarily interested to a surprisingly large degree in the proper application of lighting equipment to the industries. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that the extension and use of the modern standards of lighting have lagged so far behind the development of efficient and effective lighting equipment that even if the latter development were to suddenly cease, there would still be plenty of work for the illuminating engineer for some years to come — merely in increasing and extending the present standards of illumination. From the presidential address given before the annual convention of the Illuminating Engineering Society last October, it becomes apparent that there are several times more men engaged in promoting the commercial aspects of illuminating engineering than there are advancing the technical aspects. In view of this fact, is it any wonder that the Industrial Lighting Campaign this fall will take on a more or less commercial aspect?
