Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Illumination Before going into the details of the various points involved in artificial lighting, a short statement of some of the principal reasons why present attempts at efficient illumination are so often found faulty will aid to an understanding of the subject. One reason why much light is wasted is that frequently too much of the light goes in directions where it is not needed and too little in directions where it is needed. If light coming from a lamp were a tangible thing, as, for example, water coming from a hose, failure to direct it where needed would be more apparent than it is. No one would think of trying to wash windows, ﬂush off pavements or do similar work calling for a concentrated stream of water with a hose fitted with a lawn sprinkler which throws a gentle spray in all directions. Nor would one think of using a nozzle giving a powerful stream on a ﬂower bed or a soft, newly-made lawn. The light thrown in different directions around a lamp can be modified with globes and reﬂectors just as the direction and character of a stream of water issuing from a hose can be modified bv the nozzle. The important point is to pick the right kind of nozzle and the right kind of reﬂector or globe for the particular work in hand. Although a certain amount of light on ceilings and walls is a good thing, it is quite likely to be the case that a much larger proportion of the total light goes in those directions than is at all necessary, while a smaller proportion than is necessary is thrown in places where it can be utilized. On the other hand, there are cases where the reverse of this is true. It is of first importance to know what effects various reﬂectors, shades and globes will produce. Much attention is therefore given to this in following chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Illumination Since the first edition of this book was published profound and revolutionary changes have taken place in the available materials of artificial illumination. Among electrical illuminants entirely new types of are light have come into general use, and the carbon incandescent lamp is being rapidly pushed into obsolescence by the metallic filament lamps which now dominate electric lighting practice. In the field of gas lighting, the inverted mantle burners of both large and small capacity, and the high pressure mantle burners, have pushed their way to the front and radically changed the conditions of economy which previously existed. Auxiliaries of every kind, and particularly shades and reﬂectors of greatly im proved types, have been so multiplied as to meet almost every possible requirement. All these considerations have made necos sary a very complete revision of the parts of this volume dealing with practical lighting. Moreover, the art of illuminating engi neering has been enriched by a large amount of valuable experience within the past few years, and its principles are now founded on a more secure scientific basis. The general principles of the art, however, remain the same and its importance in practical life is at last being adequately appreciated.

Electric lamps of various kinds are used to transform one kind of energy into light. A heated body radiates energy in the form of waves into the surrounding Space. The lower the temper ature the longer will be these waves, but at the lower temperatures heat only is given Off. As the temper ature increases the waves become shorter and the red rays begin to appear. With continued increase in temperature shorter and shorter waves are produced giving rays of light of different colors until at certain temperature white light which is a mixture of all colors is emitted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lighting by Acetylene: A Treatise for the Practical Lighting Engineer, Containing Elementary Information and Details for Those About to Take Up the Work There is not the least doubt now about Acetylene Gas being commercially applicable to the many purposes for which artificial light is needed, particularly in places where coal gas and electricity are unavailable and only oil illumination otherwise possible. It can now be said quite positively that this gas is the light of the future for country houses and works, unless, of course, some thing better' and cheaper should be devised, which is very unlikely. Acetylene can now be made (given a proper gene rator) bya lad or any unskilled person, without super 'vision and with no risk; and it can be had at a cost that compares equally With coal gas at about 3s. 6d. Per thousand feet for a given candle-power or brilliancy of illumination. This is after allowing for wear and tear and interest on outlay. Should the present price of carbide go down, or should its gas-yielding qualities be increased, then acetylene will compare, of course, more favourably still. 'acetylene. The present cost of the gas, however, is no obstacle to its free adoption, for it is' in very few country places that coal gas costs less than 3s. 6d. Per thousand feet, and in many districts it exceeds this greatly. Probably most people would rather pay a little more for coal gas supplied by a gas company, as the trouble of making the acetylene, small as it is or should be, is still a trouble, and the outlay for the apparatus has to be considered. Therefore acetylene is unlikely to displace coal gas where the latter exists but it is already a possible and strong rival to coal gas if it should be a question of which gas plant shall be laid down to light a village. For single-residence plants acetylene has nothing to fear from coal' gas, neither need it fear much from gasoline, which is dirty, ill - smelling and expensive in compari son with the later illuminant. Gasoline is also more dangerous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lighting Art: Its Practice and Possibilities Mankind has enjoyed such an abundance of natural daylight throughout the entire existence and evolution of the human race that the present general indifference to the possibilities in lighting is easily accounted for. With the advent of artificial light-sources of greater adaptability, the activities of man changed considerably and as modern artificial illuminants are readily controllable there naturally has arisen a new science and art, namely, that of lighting. Such desirable features as adaptability and controllability often result in misuses of artificial light at the hands of those who are indifferent so or untrained in the proper use of light. This together with the greatly increased possibilities led to the development of specialists in lighting and, owing to his coimection with many of the activities upon which the production of light depends, the engineer became the embryo from which the so-called illuminating engineer of today evolved. As the efficiency and adaptability of artificial light-sources and the knowledge of the importance of proper lighting developed, the demands upon the engineer became more varied until today when the many aspects and possibilities are becoming more appreciated, the engineer must greatly extend his horizon and knowledge in order to qualify as a Lighting specialist in the broadest sense. Notwithstanding the extensive possibilities in fighting at the present time and the myriad ramifications of the attendant problems into various sciences and arts, there is still a tendency on the part of many to look upon a lighting problem primarily from the engineering standpoint regardless of the nature of the problem. Bearing witness to this fact are the books on lighting which consist largely of engineering data and considerations. A vast amount of lighting which has been well done, has been accomplished through applications of scientific and artistic principles not covered by engineering data.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illumination and Photometry The preparation of this volume was undertaken with a view to providing an adequate text-book of the subject for the use of colleges of engineering. It is not intended to be a handbook of technical data nor a manual of practical instructions. Emphasis is therefore given to the scientific basis of the subject and to methods of rational analysis rather than to the description of processes of manufacture, structural details and prevailing practice. A condensed form of treatment has been sought throughout. In the work of instruction much of the subject-matter may profitably be amplified by lectures, supplementary reading and the working out of problems. Familiarity with the technique of photometry should be sought in the laboratory in connection with such a course. The material herein contained to a large extent represents the basis of a course in Illumination and Photometry given by the University of Wisconsin, and the author acknowledges with pleasure much helpful encouragement and many suggestions from Prof. Murray C. Beebe of that institution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
