Actually a rather apt title. Even in the early 1880s, Interior illumination was still rather dark. Candles were only two types before paraffin, beeswax and tallow.. Beeswax, more expensive, didn't smell bad and was less smokey...
And then the LED was invented which can last forever, spureing companies to put kn special timing circuits that self destruct the light bulb after a certain time so you have to buy another one

A lovely little film and very interesting. Love the quaint presentation of the early 50s.
Indeed
I grew up for 16 years with oil lamps. Nice to hear Ronald Reagan narrate.😊
i like old education film👍
Lovely watch, and I learned quite a lot, put into perspective. Thanks!
Very informative and loved this history shared! 😊💗
This film is better than 99% of all the modern movies of today lol.
Great film, it's sad to see how much lighting design has moved backwards in the past decade with the mistake that is LED area lighting.
What do you mean
What are you talking about, don't make sense
Thank you for the film. Informative and Interesting!
No sound on right side.
When you think about isolated farmsteads showing lights, it can be a guiding beacon for wayward travellers. Or in the worse case, marauders.
Dafuck are marauders doing in the darkness? I mean, why not at daylight?

That homestead was a beacon.
What better time than to catch someone off guard?
These videos are great !!!!
Watching this on LED display

Now there is so much light pollution that darkness is impossible.

Lewis Latemer invented the carbon filament, why isn't he mentioned. Yes he was a Blackman.
How about asking them, doubt the narrator is around now
