December, l$n STREET LIGHTING WITHTUNGSTEN LAMPS This londcnsation of a paper, for whichIff arc indebted to the editor of the Gen-eral Electric Revieic. states the six neces-saries of good lighting effects and meth-ods of obtaining them under the marvel-ously improved modern conditions in theelectric lighting field. UNTIL recently the success of a streetlighting system was too oftenjudged only by the brightness ofthe individual units, but now, thanks tothe better general knowledge of the sub-ject, the merits of a lighting system aredetermined by the amount of light ratherthan by the brightness, and also by theproper distribution. Indeed, the art ofillumination has made such rapid prog-ress that today, in up-to-date communi-ties, a good lighting system is consideredas essential as is a good police systemand an efficient fire fighting force. The economic and scientific aspects ofthe problem are da
