SEATTLE LIGHTING COMPANY 222 2No AVENUE • SEATTLE 4, WASHINGTON April 6, 1965 Mr. Daugherty, Electrical Inspector Everett City Hall Everett, Washington Re: Room hanging wall lights at Merry Crest Nursing Home. Dear Mr. Daugherty: We understand that a question has risen regarding these portable wall lights, as to their conformance to Under- writers Laboratories specifications. All of the 'lighting equipment that we manufacture is made to conform to U. L. specifications. Portable lamps come ender a different category and one which is not as rigid as those covering lighting fixtures. However, in this particular instance we provided every possible safe guard to insure proper functioning of the wall light even much more then for portable hanging lights. The light has a insulated porcelain socket with a cord clamp inside the socket also a reinforced round plastic covered wire with a keyed wall plug to insure grounding, even though it will neven be possible to touch the shade or socket and receive a shock. Nevertheless, we did feel that this added feature was just good precaution. We installed approximately 18 months ago 130 of this same fixture in the Merry Vista Nursing Home here in Seattle, there has not been one failure to date and we understand they are all functioning properly. Trusting this explanation will satisfy your concern. How- ever, should you have any further questions we would be pleased to hear from you. Yours ve y truly, S A ' LIGt �OM T. 0.
