Carl B.Stokes United States Court House Interior Lighting
A palette of themed custom fixtures support an architectural idea of dignified and dramatic spaces. Fluted and painted glass diffusers create decorative sparkle in elegant interiors. These diffuse sources and architectural coves supply fill light to complement fluorescent downlighting, which provides basic direct illumination with good glare control. The custom system is modular in concept, adaptable to sconces or chandeliers, can change scale to suit the space, is economical, and uses efficient fluorescent sources which can be dimmed in the courtrooms.
