St Cornelius with its clean style needed a clean look. Too many lights were doing too little work. I was asked to participate in this project to increase lighting to pews, revise sanctuary lighting and dimming, while providing energy savings. The redesign began with the removal of 8' bracket mounted exterior fluorescent ("sign-lights") hung in plain view. This made way for surface 4' 30K 50W BIAX covelighting neatly hidden from view vertically washing the back wall. Chandeliers were re-lamped from 500W to 250W and100HIR Pars.
Open commercial strips were replaced with dimmable 50W BIAX cove lighting in the nave. Wall Mounted 1kw (side lighting) Pars were removed. Currently lighting the sanctuary are 240PAR56 and 120PAR64 spots mounted behind beams allowing more area to be accented while averaging 100 FC at each liturgical location.
Originally the transepts read 2FC under fixtures, the nave 8FC. Existing lensed 150W down lighting in the transept were replaced with recessed 2-26W CF. The transept and nave now measure 20+ FC evenly.
Recessed MR16 wall wash and spot lighting brought out the colors in the wood paneling while highlighting the statue.
Low voltage 240PAR56 mixed well with the 30K 2-26W CF lighting the back walkway and transepts.
Most importantly the Priest and parishioners are incredibly happy with the results.
