In distinction to the stores, thediner room gets lit with a new type of fluorescent light. This light had come into use in the earlydecades of 1940's. In the circular building that they are having dinner, the building is an islandthat signifies and deters. The fluorescent light is daunting and dehumanizing.The fluorescent light also creates an imitation feeling of warmth that is not real for theinstant, an environment that is clinical like in a laboratory than in a restaurant.The titleNighthawks refers to people who get considered as night owls, but the term also meansscrupulous kind of creature related to goatsuckers (Edward, 2007).
