CHOICE OF A LIGHTING SYSTEM SHOULD BE BASED NOT ONLY ON A SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION OF THE LIFE-CYCLE COSTS AND INTENDED APPLICATION, BUT ALSO ON SUCH EXTERNALITIES AS THE REVENUES THAT MAY BE RETURNED TO THE JURISDICTION THROUGH THE POWER COMPANY. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF INCANDESCENT, FLUORESCENT, MERCURY VAPOR, METAL HALIDE, AND SODIUM LAMPS ARE REVIEWED, AND THEIR ADVANTAGES AND SHORTCOMINGS ARE NOTED.
