Lighting or illumination is the deliberate application of light to achieve some aesthetic or practical effect. Lighting includes use of both artificial light sources such as lamps and natural illumination of interiors from daylight. Daylighting (through windows, skylights, etc.) is often used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings given its low cost. Artificial lighting represents a major component of energy consumption, accounting for a significant part of all energy consumed worldwide. Artificial lighting is most commonly provided today by electric lights, but gas lighting, candles, or oil lamps were used in the past, and still are used in certain situations. Proper lighting can enhance task performance or aesthetics, while there can be energy wastage and adverse health effects of poorly designed lighting. Indoor lighting is a form of fixture or furnishing, and a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an intrinsic component of landscaping.

Collecting Lamps
Image by The Pulitzer
The Pulitzer is asking the St. Louis community to donate their old lamps, lamp shades, lanterns, and light fixtures. The donations will help two artists, Sebastian Hungerer and Rainer Kehres, create an outdoor installation for The Light Project, in which they will recreate the roof of the historic Spring church in Grand Center, which burned in 2001. The lamp collection has begun and we just received a huge donation of approximately 100 lamps. Here’s Trina talking about this exciting windfall.
Restored Fixture – Closeup.jpg

This light fixture, circa 1915, had been tinplated (probably in the Art Deco days) and later painted over with matte silver housepaint. I removed those layers, and then refinished the original brass. The globes in the foreground are originals; the one in the rear is from another fixture in the house from the same period, replacing the third original which had been broken by previous owners.
