Ask the Expert: Are They Outlawing Incandescent?

You may have heard rumors about incandescent technology being outlawed, and in fact several countries have. But in the US? No...well, not exactly. Congress has passed legislation which sets efficiency standards for a variety of lamps and ballasts, most of which will begin to take effect in 2012. With the legislation raising the bar for efficiency, there are lamps across the board - incandescent, halogen, fluorescent - which are effectively outlawed.

Lighting Bloopers
It's a hazard of the job - we can't go anywhere without analyzing the lighting. We've seen it all - the good the bad, the ugly, and the so-bad-it's hilarious. So we've devised this column to share some of the funniest lighting mishaps.

This submission was sent to us by our friends at Two Hills Studio in Austin. It seems the folks at the Post Office in Johnson City thought their lovely Lynn Ford copper sconces could use some augmentation.

We certainly understand needing additional lighting in a public space, but...Really? Nobody could think of a better way?

If you come across a spectacular (or just embarrassing) lighting blooper, please send it to us at sarah@G2LD.com. We're always looking for a good laugh...
