Living-room: When you're resting after a hard day, when the dog is stretched out before the fire and the small fry stretched out in bed, scenes and patterns projected on the wall "mood-condition" you. Here Gilbert Rohde, pioneer industrial designer, consultant for Hudson Motors, head of design courses at New York University, projects a sunny Arizona scene, while a bitter wind gives yoke outside. Note that in addition to big troughs for general illumination, there are separately controlled, focused spotlights in the ceiling for reading—one for each person who might be in the room
Kitchen: A large ceiling panel steps over-all light up three to six times what you have now. Light panels under cupboards and over range and sink flood shadowless light over work areas, putting an end to eyestrain
Dining-room: Wall troughs or panels of translucent glass can be dimmed or colored, as suits the dinner, be it to hide burned chops or get a raise from the boss. For extra-wicked occasions the panels can be doused and ceiling spots left on to put sparkle on the glass and glint in the eye
Bedroom: Focused lights over the bed are individual, so you can read without keeping your partner awake. Luminous panels flood the vanity and chest where light is needed, can be dimmed to give just enough light to get up by without waking your partner when the baby cries. All lights have two controls—one by the bed, the other near the door
