Unfortunately, articles like this give little "light" when someone is really 
interested in knowing what to do.  Lighting has become more complicated in 
recent years with the growing use of compact fluorescent lamps, light 
emitting diodes, energy regulations for residential lighting and an 
ever-growing variety of lighting fixtures to say nothing of the numerous, 
and often conflicting, opinions from so-called lighting designers.

My first rule is simply this:  Without pictures showing the lighting effects 
being discussed, the words are just massaging someone's ego.   Lighting is 
first and foremost a visual experience.
