DELTA Snapshots
	DELTA Snapshots: Home Office Lighting Increasing numbers of people work from their homes. With this trend comes a need for higher levels of ambient lighting without reflected glare on computer screens. This Snapshot describes comfortable and flexible lighting appropriate for a home office with minimal electricity use and glare and at minimal installation cost.
	DELTA Snapshots: Lighting for Dormitories Dormitory rooms can be dark, but the risk of fire associated with tungsten-halogen ("quartz") lamp torchieres has prompted many colleges in North America to ban their use in dormitories. Ambient lighting can be produced safely and efficiently with torchieres and task lights that use compact fluorescent lamps instead. This Snapshot describes a dormitory room lighted with an ENERGY STAR torchiere supplemented with a compact fluorescent task light.
