Restoration: We specialize in antique lighting restorations. Having worked on over 20,000 gaslights and made many repairs to these lights because of poor work done by former restoration experts. Gas lighting was designed for gas and not wire. To properly electrify a gas fixture many years of knowledge and thousands of gaslights are needed in expertise. Only select lighting projects are considered for our restoration and maintenance services. At times we have 6 months to 2 years of scheduled restorations on our calendar.
Reproduction: Duplicating an existing light from an original fixture can take 3 months to 1 year, depending on its complexity. We also replicate lights from original historic photographs. With our historic lighting catalog collection we can recreate historic lighting correctly with no second-guess work. We can replicate any type of lighting fixture. If you need just one light or hundreds of fixtures, we can be of assistance.
Consultation: We have seen many historic projects overspend their lighting budget because of wrong decisions. 95% of the period interiors in the country have incorrect lighting installed. Consultation on historic lighting can save time and money on any lighting project. We offer lighting consultation services for architects, interior designers, lighting designers, engineers, home owners, and historic lighting projects nation wide.
Lectures: Historic lighting lecturing services include a slide show presentation and a historic lighting display which is very educational. This is where owners can determine what period their lighting needs are and how this can help them in their lighting decisions.
