Just One Ceiling Light

Compared to today’s lighting standards, our grandparents and great-grandparents were almost walking around in the dark. A single ceiling light per room was considered an improvement over gas lighting. Can you imagine having only one overhead light in a kitchen? We bathe ourselves in light today, and we love every minute of it. The lighting requirements today in some kitchens alone would have consumed half of a typical home’s service requirements back in the 30-amp days.
