A Lamp " said the late swamy Chinmayananda " Is the begining and end of everything" Though the lamp he meant was the fire it lamp and
oil and
wax have long given way to electric bulbs and tube lights , The sentiment still hold good. A blood illumination creates a perfect environment for working or reading , There is not much scope for appreciation and indulgence. The harsh light cannot match the magical flickerring of a flame or the beauty of the
" JYOTI" .
The
lampshade helps in the reducing the harashness of the light and weaves a spell of magic with subdued
lighting.
The romantics swear by the
effect of dim lighting giving the lampshade utmost importance for creating effect. Care should be taken to ensure that the lampshade does not interfere with the accessories but emphassizes the ambience of the room. It should not disrupt the harmony of the decor even during daytime or when not in use.
Lamps can be placed anywhere to create a stunning effect and is an apt and glamorous alternative to the quite flickering of a wick. While reserving the oil and the wax lamps for religious festivities and power cuts , One can bask in the suitable romance of thelampshade most of the times.
