9. The light you get from any fixture depends on the ______and ______of the bulb. The higher the wattage, the greater the intensity of light. Some fixtures can only be used safely with certain wattage levels.
10. ______bulbs produce light when electricity passes through a tungsten filament in a glass bulb… and it glows. This light tends to be warm and flattering. A frosted bulb reduces glare and softens the light. Small clear bulbs may appear to “sparkle”, such as those used in chandeliers. Some have a silver or aluminum reflector coating which directs the light forward.

They produce various color casts, but some create light near natural sunlight.

13. ______lights (light emitting diodes) are silicon chips with an electric current running through it. They last much longer than compact fluorescent bulbs, but have limited residential use.
14. ______lightsconsist of fine, hair-like strands of glass with light flowing through them. This light emits no heat and no ultraviolet rays, so is good for use in accenting expensive or collectible artwork.
15. There are different types of structural (permanent, built-in) lights:
A. ______lighting is found over a window, and hidden by the window valance.
