That must have made for one creepy glow when it was turned on.

The perspective here is wonderful!

Gotta love those tiles, though. They hang tough even with the decay.

Blue because it probably soothed the mental defectives.

The blue light is thought to keep a mental patient calm. we use them in the back of ambulances. If you ever see the back of an ambulance glowing blue, there is a mental patient inside. Usually transporting a suicidal patient.

I've been a paramedic for 34 years & never used blue lights in the patient compartments. The lights were adjustable in brightness but always white. A blue light would make patient assessment difficult.
