Energy Efficiency and the Restoration of Historic Light Fixtures

This panel discuss will include lighting designers and lighting fixture manufacturers discussing examples of collaborative work on the renovation of historic fixtures with energy efficient, long-life light sources including LED technology. Examples will discuss historic research techniques, design, and documentation process, and manufacturing and engineering methods with examples of completed projects. You will get an overview of LED technology while learning of the unique challenges of integrating new sources into existing fixtures. Examples may include evaluation of replacements of façade lighting installations to improve maintenance and reduce costs while preserving the appearance of well-known and recognizable civic monuments.
