[!-- Page: 16a --] Provide three-way switches in the halls so that the hall lights may be controlled from either the first or second floor.
All ceiling outlet lighting, and wherever desirable, side bracket lighting, should be controlled by wall switches. These switches should preferably be of the push-button type rather than of the snap-switch type. In general the best location for these switches is on the wall of the room right next to the door which is the entrance most frequently used.
[FUSES]
Fuses on your electrical wiring act in the same capacity as a safety valve on a steam boiler. Whenever there is an overload on the circuit or a short circuit these fuses blow and relieve the strain on your wiring.
When in doubt or when in need of suggestions, ’phone the Sales Department of your Lighting Company.
