Most commercially a-ailable lams are -ery standard and /ne)citin and 0/ite d/ll in theirdesin. 1oe-er* it is noted that their /rose is still ,/llled* as it ro-ides hih intensitylihtin ,or rooms* yet they are oerin ne and modern cons/mers less asects ,or thelams to bein sold. Attracti-eness has diered and altered a lot ,rom the ast as the

tyical yello%hite liht is not aealin to the taret maret. 6n the modern era the more-ibrant and more e)tra-aant the colo/rs the better. 7ieise* the themes o, lams ha-enot been /datin to maintain the latest ,ashion in the resent era.
