Majestic Glow Restored with LED Fixtures
Electrical work included accent lighting to illuminate the new murals, the refurbishment of the four existing chandeliers, and the replacement of all of the incandescent lighting with LED lamps. The lighting of the dome itself is achieved by twelve multi-color LED fixtures connected to an electronic control for color-changing sequences. Several cracked or damaged oculus ring light globes were specially manufactured to match the original. This restoration could only take place due to an elaborate scaffolding structure that was erected within the Rotunda and extended to approximately 155 feet above the marble floor. Great care was taken to protect the floor as well as the five statues within the space.
