Casablanca, Tech Lighting & Leucos Install

We have a new lighting design and install to share with you.  This install was the whole 11th floor of a condo right on the beach in Ormond Beach, Florida.  It was very hard to focus while looking at the surf for many afternoons.  Our customers renovated this floor and we were the last sub contractor to arrive at the job. 

We came in as the second lighting designer, they were not happy with the first one.  This is how it began. 

Lighting the Living Area Using a far away Electrical Box

This has proven to be one of our remodel specialties.  We have a lot of customers that purchase an older condo that has very limited electrical boxes in the ceiling.  Tech Lighting low voltage Monorail track systems tend to be the best solution for this problem.

This is the only electric box in the living area Yes this existing fixture was hot.

We removed this fixture and deposited it directly into the trash shoot, I dont think they will miss it.  Then we mounted a 300watt transformer on the electric box and ran 22 feet of low voltage monorail track in a question mark design.  (this was the first design)  This design helped us bring light to all areas of the living area.  On either side of the couch we used the upside down table lamp design, this is done by suspending a mini pendant where there would normally be a table with a lamp.  This frees up a lot of space and looks hot.  We also sprinkled accent spot lights along the track. 

Displaying Art with Limited Lighting Resources

Our next task was to flood a number of walls with light when the closest power source was in a closet near by.   

This was a challenge but we made it work.  We used two six foot Tech Lighting wall rails with 150watt remote transformers located in the near by closets.  The wall rails turned out great as you can see. 

We had to light a similar wall situation in their southern hall way using Tech Lighting Power Jack canopies, Om heads and halogen PAR20 lamps.   This phase of the job was quite trying because of the existing air conditioning duct that ran the length of the hall way.  That left us with only a couple inches of plenum in certain spots.  We used half inch pancake junction boxes to mount the fixtures in.  The duct also made it difficult to create an even light spacing through out the hall.  In the end we accomplished this phase and it turned out with adjustable accent lighting with a clean balance. 

Murano Mini Pendants Over the Dining Room Table

Our customers wanted three Tech Lighting Murano Firebird Owl pendants for over there dining room table.  Their electrical box was two feet off from the center of the table.  This little obsticle made us come up with a swirl design so we could still balance pendants through the center of the table.  The Firebird Owl pendants turned out great   We hand bent the design by using template that was shaped into a circle and cut out of a 3/4 inch piece of plywood. 

We Could Not Leave Out the Casablanca Ceiling Fan

Our customers fell in love with the Casablanca Stealth fan in brushed nickel, teak blades and the inteli-touch wall control.  We installed two of these fans one in the television area and one in their office.   

This condo turned out to be another successful lighting design and install.
