The Stephen A. Schwarzman Center at Yale University serves as a hub for student life, culture, dining, and public events. The limestone Beaux-Arts-style buildings date to 1901, when they were built to commemorate Yale's 1901 bicentennial.

For a past project at the Schwarzman Center, Grand Light specialists designed and fabricated numerous custom fixtures, as well as historically replicated lighting.

In "The Underground", the Center's dining and entertainment space, we created multiple 11-foot-diameter ring chandeliers featuring 12 lamps each, and accompanying metal-shaded pendants. Both were finished in polished brass and fitted with custom diffusers.

This project also featured multiple massive hanging staircase chandeliers, one being over 23 feet tall, and another stretching 45 feet. Our design team prepared 3D models of the fixtures before fabricating each in steel, finishing them in antique brass, and fitting them with opal globe diffusers.

To complement the space's historic character, we produced reproduction ceiling fixtures using molds made from original components. Each was cast in brass and finished in dark bronze.

Now reimagined for the next era, Yale University's Schwarzman Center continues its legacy with thoughtfully crafted lighting that honors the building's architectural history.

Newark Penn Station in New Jersey is one of the busiest rail stations in the country, serving tens of thousands of riders each day. The Art Deco and Neoclassical building was designed by prominent New York architects McKim, Mead & White and opened in 1935.

As part of a past renovation of Newark Penn Station, Grand Light restored multiple brass-and-steel zodiac-themed globe chandeliers originally produced by renowned lighting designers E.F. Caldwell & Co. After conducting an on-site survey and developing a restoration roadmap, our team returned to remove the fixtures and transport them to our factory.

Each fixture was blasted with walnut media, rinsed, and treated with a silver-enhancing solution to conserve its original silver-plated finish. We replicated 156 custom acrylic panels, using our in-factory kiln to heat and slump each one by hand. Every panel was carefully tested for fit to ensure there were no light leaks. The chandeliers were also rewired with custom electrical assemblies accommodating 30 screw-in LED bulbs.

Our artisans then delivered the restored fixtures back to Newark and assisted with their reinstallation. Now, these historic luminaires are once again illuminating the daily commutes of thousands of passengers.

Grand Light's thermal imaging capabilities are a valuable tool in light fixture restoration, helping to identify issues that aren't always visible to the naked eye.

In on-site surveys, thermal imaging provides insight into the condition of a light fixture and its environment. We can quickly and non-invasively identify hotspots, overheating, and other thermal anomalies that may indicate electrical malfunctions. Thermal cameras also measure air temperature, humidity, and ambient lighting conditions within the space where the fixture is installed.

By incorporating thermal imaging into our survey process, we can better understand the conditions of historic lighting and their setting, helping us make more informed restoration decisions.

The Virginia Mae Center is a restored Gothic-style building used for religious retreats on the grounds of Washington National Cathedral, one of the largest churches in the United States.

In a past restoration project for the Virginia Mae Center, Grand Light restored a large assortment of historic luminaires, including chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and ceiling lights.

Each fixture was stripped of debris and its deteriorated finish, leaving the raw steel exposed for refinishing. Many of the chandeliers and pendants required a custom oil-rubbed metal finish containing binders, as well as rust and UV inhibitors, while the remainder received black-painted finishes.

The electrical components were fully replaced and rewired with UL-listed products and HIPOT tested. One type of chandelier was also modified and retrofitted with LED downlights to improve spatial lighting.

It was a pleasure contributing to this award-winning restoration, preserving these historic fixtures for decades to come.

The next step in the restoration of these historic brass and copper wall sconces is refinishing, which includes patination, burnishing, and lacquering.

Once stripped of their original finish, the raw fixture components were submerged in a patina solution until the desired darkening was achieved, then rinsed and dried. Next, the newly patinated surfaces were lightly burnished with a Scotch-Brite pad to highlight the bronze/copper and antique brass tones. Lastly, the burnished fixture parts were brought to our spray booth, where they received a coat of metal lacquer to provide a glossy, protective finish.

We can't wait to see these beautifully restored sconces installed and shining with new life! Stay tuned for the final update.

The First National Center, formerly known as the First National Bank Building, is a prominent mixed-use skyscraper in downtown Oklahoma City. Constructed in 1931 by the First National Bank and Trust Company of Oklahoma City, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.

In a past project, Grand Light transported and restored numerous large chandeliers, pendants, and exterior lanterns throughout the building. Once carefully removed from the site and transported to our factory, a full in-depth analysis and restoration began.

To conserve the original pewter-plated finishes, our artisans gently soda blasted and cleaned the fixtures with a proprietary pewter cleaning solution, utilizing high-pressure media on the fixtures with severe rusting. Exterior lanterns were media blasted and hand burnished to achieve a raw aluminum finish.

Missing or damaged etched glass panels had to be replicated, paying close attention to detail as their designs were recreated to make them indistinguishable from the original glass. Finally, each fixture was fully rewired across multiple tiers of lamping clusters and HIPOT tested in accordance with UL standards.

Now restored and back at home in Oklahoma City, these elegant fixtures will continue illuminating the First National Center for decades to come.

LaGuardia Airport, located in East Elmhurst, Queens, New York City, began operations in 1939 and is one of the busiest airports in the United States. From 2016 to 2022, its Terminal B underwent a $5.1 billion redevelopment, the largest public-private partnership in U.S. aviation history.

Grand Light was contacted for the restoration of multiple types of historic exterior wall lanterns at LaGuardia's Terminal B. The brass fixtures featured a verde patina finish that our artisans carefully conserved through cleaning, hand-applied localized patina repairs, and protective top coat applications.

The lanterns had missing decorative lens holders, which were replaced with new components fabricated in-house using our Bridgeport milling machine. Each fixture was fully rewired with UL-listed components, upgrading their uplight and downlight configurations with high-output bulbs.

Now restored and back on display at LaGuardia Airport, these historic lanterns once again illuminate the façade of Terminal B, preserving its character while providing improved lighting for the next generation of travelers.

Completed in 1930 and named for its benefactor, John William Sterling, Sterling Memorial Library is one of Yale University's most prominent buildings and the largest library on campus. It currently houses approximately 4 million volumes across 16 floors of book stacks.

Grand Light restored a range of historic chandeliers, sconces, and ceiling fixtures for the Sterling Memorial Library's Linonia & Brothers Reading Room. Research showed that many of these were original early 20th century fixtures from renowned lighting manufacturer E.F. Caldwell & Co.

The fixtures were fully rewired, many of which having received a personally customized LED retrofit kit. Each chandelier received a new GU10 LED uplight configuration on alternating arms, while multiple ceiling fixtures were retrofitted with one of our custom-mounted Integrated/Dedicated LED disc driver kits for additional dimmable accent lighting and quality lumen output with far less energy consumed. Most fixtures were able to have their original finishes conserved through cleaning and metal waxing, while others were surface prepared and refinished.

It was a pleasure to contribute to the preservation of Yale's history through this award-winning project. Congratulations to Yale University on another successful renovation!
