My attempt at home improvement. As it turned out, my fiddling with this light fixture was not the issue. There was a short in the other room cause the problems
The center ceiling light, lit. This light fixture gets its color from the bulbs, around 84 of them. Very unique, we do not know if it dates from the original building, 1916, or from the remodeling done in 1935. We would deeply appreciate any information about it. It is matched with two large corner lights and 6 sidelights. The stripes are long strips of white glass.
Last night I went to Sydney to visit a friend who I hadn't seen for more than a decade. She was staying at the Grace Hotel on York Street.
This place is lovely. Everything is Art Deco which is my absolute favourite architectural and decorating style. My favourite building is The Chrysler in New York and it is Art Deco. It's just a stunning period in Architecture.
I wanted to go crazy taking photos of all the fixtures in the hotel but we were so pushed for time that I only took one.
I think I might just have to go stay there one night so I can take pics of it.
The fifth light fixture has been mounted, wired, and its reflector put on. Now it just needs the two T8 bulbs installed.
Special tough bulbs must be used in old streetcars, before everything shifted to fluorescent bulbs, such as in this preserved Peter Witt.
The Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge is an Art Deco gem. Read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_Capitol
I thought I was photographing my Arts & Crafts Style light fixture, but while playing with it in Photoshop, I discovered my light fixture is actually a Dalek. I've notified Doctor Who.
