Lighting OD

Categories: Buildings, Photo and Saudi Arabia
Tags: business, traditional

Many businesses in Jeddah make use of excessive fluorescent lighting, as you can see in this photo, and are lit up quite brightly. Some homes, despite usually having beautiful ceilings and lighting fixtures, also make use of unflattering lights like this too. I haven’t figured it out yet, but it is something that miffs me here.

The picture doesn’t really illustrate how harsh florescent lights are, there is also a flicker issue with some lamps.

About Me: Susie of Arabia

I am an American woman. I met my husband more than 30 years ago when we were both college students in Arizona. So after all that time in the states, my hubby desired to move back to his native home of Saudi Arabia. I've been in Jeddah now since October 2007. My new home is amazing: interesting, fascinating, and colorful. The people are warm, courteous and as interested in me as I am in them, however they highly regard their privacy. My camera goes with me every time I step out the door - I don't want to miss a thing! Please be sure to also visit my other blog, SUSIE'S BIG ADVENTURE, which relates my experiences, observations, and thoughts about living in Saudi Arabia.
