Yale University's Morse College & Ezra Stiles College are currently undergoing a major renovation and Grand Light has been given the task of restoring numerous lighting fixtures from the buildings.

With only two chandeliers and one outdoor fixture remaining, the Yale Calhoun College lighting restoration project is nearly complete.

Several different lighting fixtures from Yale's Calhoun College are currently being worked on simultaneously in Grand Light's restoration shop.

One of the medium sized chandeliers from the Yale Calhoun College project has been completed.  The fixture's components were stripped from the frame and then refinished to their original state.  Then, the crystal prisms were individually cleaned and re-pinned, and the fixture was reassembled and rewired and tested in accordance with UL standards.

Steady progress is being made on the restoration of a wide variety of lighting fixtures from Yale Calhoun College.  The fixtures, ranging from outdoor lanterns to wall sconces to large chandeliers, and are made from a variety of materials including brass, copper, and iron.
