1.  LIGHTING BETTER TO SEE YOU WITH MY DEAR:  Technology continues to power the next generation of lamps with better beam control and improved illuminating efficacy. Greater production of LED light sources and the expanding market of energy-efficient task and reading lamps is helping to bring costs down, making these lamps more affordable for the average consumer. Designers are working with lighting experts to incorporate products for home interiors that not only look beautiful, but are also highly functional.  Improved lamp options serve to bring out the true colors in fabrics and decor, while providing superior illumination to help individuals compensate for vision-impairments.
