Television lighting techniques, providing a small amount of outside light to avoid brightness contrasts be<br />
tween the screen and surrounding areas, have been used in the theatre lounge on the Italian liner Contt<br />
Biancamano. A combination of fluorescent and incandescent fixtures are employed.<br />

Balanced lighting, pictorial beauty<br />
and tasteful decoration are the striking<br />
features of the motion picture lounge on<br />
the Italian liner Conte Biancamano, shown<br />
in the accompanying photograph.<br />
The lighting follows the same techniques<br />
used for television, where it has been found<br />
advisable to furnish a small amount of<br />
outside light to avoid brightness contrasts<br />
between the screen and the surrounding<br />
areas.<br />
Fluorescent lamps and fixtures<br />
recessed<br />
in a wide overhead cove provide a level of<br />
approximately five footcandles of illumination<br />
distributed uniformly throughout the<br />

room. Fourteen-watt T-ia fluorescen<br />
tubes are installed end-to-end close to th(|<br />
edge of the cove and an extra baffle ha;<br />
been used to soften the bright spot immediately<br />
above the lamp in the cove. Because<br />
the level of lighting is low enough<br />
it is not necessary to dim these lights<br />
while watching the screen.<br />
Glass-covered fluorescent lighting fixtures<br />
mounted to the ceiling and each containing<br />
four fluorescent tubes, are turnec<br />
off during the show, but provide extra illumination<br />
for the auditorium between:<br />
performances. Warmtone lamps, whose, \<br />
color tone closely approximates that of in-;|<br />
candescent lighting, are used throughout;<br />
the theatre and provide a soft pleasing atmosphere.<br />
The room was designed on the engineering<br />
advice of Johan Kromhout of Sylvania<br />
