The practice of 'artificially reducing the diameter of oversize glasses by a ring of opaque material is held to be illegal. In any case, if the power of the bulb exCeeds 24 Watts or the burner consuine.s more than 14 litres or halfa cubic foot per hour, the whole of the front, glass must he obscured, but if the diameter does not exceed 5 ins, and the bulb does not exceed 12 watts, the lamps may he used unscreened.
