light fixture fun fact: A fascinating fact: Back around 1918 an influenza pandemic hit, and many lives were lost. In 1919, the Board of Health advised folks to keep their windows cracked during the winter to let in fresh air because the flu was an airborne illness. Radiator companies responded by making radiators a lot bigger so they could heat homes while windows were open during the winter. When the depression hit in the '20s folks weren't so worried about the flu anymore and were more worried about saving money. Windows were closed, and radiators were suddenly too hot. Folks soon learned that by painting their radiators with a paint that contained metal flakes, they could cut the output of the radiator by 20 percent. That's why you'll see so many of the old radiators painted silver or bronze.
