"Americans are increasingly prepared for this lighting transition," said Stephanie Anderson, a spokeswoman for Osram Sylvania.
You mustn't let them tell you this lighting system is original with them, Fred; they got the idea from the Mammoth Cave.
Most interior spaces constructed in the 20th century are used as much with artificial light as with daylight; because of this lighting has become a very significant tool for the interior designer.
Mr. Anastassiades, a Cyprus-born, London-based designer, who is rapidly becoming a major figure on the international design scene, explained that the key element in this lighting is the cut-crystal globe, which encloses the halogen light source.
A film recording approximately natural colours in daylight reproduces scenes photographed by tungsten light with a reddish overall tint because this lighting is richer in red rays than is daylight.
Alan Scott, the head of corporate real estate and services for Deutsche Bank Americas, said, "Our participation in this lighting project further demonstrates the bank's commitment to being part of this community".
"Widespread use of this lighting system in offices and homes could greatly reduce the current power problems we have in California," said Michael Siminovitch, a scientist at the laboratory.
The programme boasted: "The arrangement for this lighting, and for the Electric Stars used on the fairies' heads, are carried out by Messrs Siemens Bros, the Lamps used being Swan's Incandescent Lamps".
All this lighting is done with light-emitting diodes, or LEDs.
There are currently two test cities using this lighting today: San Diego and Jacksonville.
