Description

This light globe and its paper case provide one instance of the means people could use to follow the official blackout policy established in Hawai‘i immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was illegal for any light to show outside of one’s house after nightfall. If occupants of a house could not prevent light from shining out, they were expected to forego using lights.
