The Lighting Addition

The new balcony with three par 64 can lights

The lighting system had to be designed to be non-intrusive to the 200 year old church architecture and non-distracting to the congregation's view; also versatile in lighting design possibilities. The decorative arches provided a perfect place to conceal the lights so that they were mostly hidden from the sight-line of the house and balcony. Here are some photos of the arches and lights.
 

 

The theatrical lighting fixtures are supported by a vertical 1-1/4" rigid aluminum pipe that is inserted through the ceiling into the attic where it threads into a pipe flange. The flange is held firmly in place by the rafters and I-beams. A dual gang box with split duplex receptacals that supply four lighting channels, were placed in the ceiling, just behind the arches near the wall.

The above pictures were taken during their first use in a production. Since then, all of the lighting fixtures and pipes have been painted to match the off-white color of the walls (the picture to the right.)
