shown in Fig.
10
29f may be recessed in a ceiling or in a furred-down section
between cabinets over a sink. Opal-glass plates should be used with
incandescent lamps, stippled or etched glass plates or louvers with fluore-
scent lamps. Where sinks stand against unbroken wall surfaces or beneath
double-sash windows, a bracket similar to that shown in Fig. 10-29g in the
former case, or 10-29h in the latter, often is attached to the wall or to the
center connecting window frame. Bracket types such as shown in Figs.
10-29g and h are suitable also for use over ranges and work counters.
They should be mounted approximately 56 to 58 inches above the floor for
greatest visual comfort.
When lights are not built into cabinets to illuminate the counter surface,
brackets similar to Fig. 10-29g should be installed on the wall under the
cabinets.
Illumination designs for laundries should provide light on work areas
such as wash tubs, ironing board, ironer, and counters or sorting table.
A single ceiling luminaire cannot properly light all of these areas. A
minimum of two is recommended. Luminaires similar to those in Figs.
10-
29a, d, and e are recommended over laundry work areas and basement
work benches.
In the garage two luminaires of the type shown in Fig. 10-29d are
recommended.
