The sur- roundings stimulate familiar surround- ngs, street scenes, houses and show windows of today. But before one’s eyes the goods in shop windows change their colors, run- ning all the way from actual or near black, through blues, ' greens, yellows and reds. This is done by reflection from the new lights. Pillars' and building columns glow like precious stones. from the effects of internal lights and outside - reflection. ‘This is something which the- spectator might think at first sight is an old- fashioned effect. But when he shifts his position, the pillar colors change, again a new effect of reflection. ‘The laboratory is a visual promise that the night signs of the main streets and white wavs of the future will be done in softer colors, and without the “shudder” and winking now in vogue. Apparently there will be possible some- thing lke approximation in light of brilliantly colored scenes, in their nat- ural shades and tones. The new lights operate without use of“colored bulbs.
