NEW HAVEN, CT - Grand Light has begun the second phase of lighting restoration work for the New Haven Museum in New Haven, Connecticut.  The fixtures being restored include a crystal chandelier from the first floor of the museum as well as ten wall sconces.

This past Sunday, the New Haven Register's Donna Doherty reported on the recent restoration work carried for the Shubert Theater in an article titled "Spiffed-Up Shubert".

From the article:

"Kaplan and Fisher are quite happy with the way the repair/restoration has been handled, especially since, through their research and recommendations from city engineers, they found that the best people for the job were local companies: Cheshire's John Canning & Co., Ltd. Painting & Conservation Studios and Grand Light & Supply, which has restored all the light fixtures, calling in Branford stained-glass artist Jayne Crowley for her expertise."

Currently, Grand Light is in the process of completing two outdoor lighting fixtures from Attica Correctional Facility.

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

Grand Light is set to restore two outdoor light fixtures from the front gate of the well-known Attica Correctional Facility. The maximum security prison, built in 1931, has held some of the country's most dangerous inmates including Mark David Chapman, Willie "The Actor" Sutton, Kendall Francois, and Colin Ferguson.

The Yale Calhoun College lighting restoration project continues with the recent completion of six polished brass wall sconces and a matching chandelier. With many of the outdoor fixtures completed, attention now turns to the large, two-tier chandeliers and the remaining wall sconces.

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.

Grand Light recently completed the restoration of a green chandelier and 4 matching wall sconces for Yale's Brady Memorial Lab.  This is the most recent restoration of a number of projects Grand Light has done for Yale University over the past several years.

Yale University has announced that in 2008 it will begin a full-scale renovation of their Calhoun College.  As a result of the high level of satisfaction with the work previously done for Yale University, which includes the Marquand Chapel chandeliers, Dwight Hall fixtures, and the Divinity School chandelier, the experts at Grand Light were contracted to begin the extensive restoration of the light fixtures for the college.

The pieces of the wall sconces and chandelier from Yale Medical School's Brady Memorial Lab have been refinished, polished and wired, and the completed work is undergoing final inspections.
