carreauX ?? Explanation: As in "window panes", as in "window cleaning", as in letting more light in? It would certainly fit with "éclairage", and would not be entirely out of place with "security" and "changing/locker rooms", whereas anything more technical/process related would be. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-10-25 21:31:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Particularly since a proper lighting service will not just change bulbs when they blow, but replace them at predetermined intervals before they blow and clean the glass/plastic housings etc. to maintain maximum light efficiency. |
