lighting specialists have listed a
number of simple rules for safety
lighting in the home.
1. Provide a light at all out
door entrances to the home. And
if the front porch is a wide one,
it needs a light over the steps
as well as one at the door.
2. Have some sort of outdoor
lighting,
preferably controlled
from the house as well as the
garage. If your garage is not
wired, locate a projecter flood
light on the corner of the house
at second-story height so that it
illuminates both driveway and
garage entrance.
3. Light is needed at the top
and bottom of all stairways to
lessen the possibility of falls. The
important thing is to have the
entire stairway illuminated.
4. Any motor-driven equipment
such as sewing machine, washing
