ELECTRIC LAMPS
Mazda lamps are the most efficient lamps obtainable and their
use is recommended for all classes of service. Your electric
bills depend upon the watts per lamp and the number of hours of
use. Note in the following table that the Mazda lamps give on
the average two and one-half times as much light for the same
cost as the Gem carbon lamps. The column "Cost of current per
month" gives the cost of burning one lamp one hour per day for
one month at the maximum rate of nine cents per K. W. H.

RESIDENTIAL LIGHTING
In most cases the following recommendations of Mazda lamp sizes
will be found most satisfactory in the home. Frosted lamps are
recommended wherever the direct rays of the lamp may strike the
eye, as the frosting diffuses the light.
Parlor
1-Bracket chandelier 1--60 watt
2-Bracket chandelier 2--40 watt
3-Bracket chandelier 3--25 watt
Side wall fixtures for decorative purposes--10 watt, all
frosted.
Side wall fixtures for good general illumination--25 or 40 watt,
all frosted.
Hall
Small hall 1--10 watt
Large hall 1--25 watt
Porch
Ceiling light 1--10 watt
Side bracket 1--25 watt
If used for reading light 1--60 watt
Bedroom
Ceiling light 1--40 watt
Side bracket 1--40 watt
_or_ 2--25 watt
Sitting-room
Same as parlor. A well shaded reading lamp with a 40 or 60 watt
all-frosted bulb.
Dining-room
Dome 1--60 watt bowl frosted
2 or 3 light shower 25 watt bowl frosted
Semi-indirect 1--60 or 100 watt clear
Bathroom
Ceiling or side brackets 25 watt
Kitchen
Ceiling light 1--40 or 60 watt bowl frosted
Side bracket over sink 1--25 watt bowl frosted
Attic
25 watt
Cellar
In installing lamps for the cellar the time they are lighted
should be borne in mind. As this is short, the expense of
running larger lamps--25 watt and 40 watt--is insignificant. The
following locations should be provided for:
Bottom of cellar stairs 25 watt
Work bench 40 watt
Laundry 40 watt
Vegetable and fruit cellar 25 watt
Lamp in front of furnace 60 watt
This latter lamp is usually close enough to also illuminate the
coal bin.
