Abstract
MR. D'OYLY CARTE, having determined to light the Savoy Theatre by the Swan incandescence electric light, intrusted the work of installation to Messrs. Siemens Brothers and Co. The theatre is lighted by no less than 1194 Swan lights of the improved form introduced by Mr. C. H. Giminghana, of the Swan United Electric Light Company. Of these 1194 electric lights, the auditorium is lighted by 150 lamps attached in groups of three, supported on threefold brackets projecting from the different tiers and balconies, each lamp being inclosed within a ground, or opaloid, shade, by which arrangement a soft and pleasant light is produced. These bracket lamp-holders have been designed and constructed by Messrs. Faraday and Son, of Berners Street, London.
