Italian Light Fixture Install



This condo is on the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Coast, Florida.  The husband and wife team that own the condo had very good taste in lighting.  Most of their selection included high end Italian light fixtures from Eurofase, Murano glass from Tech Lighting, Prisms from ET2 Lighting and a Minka-Aire fan.

ET2 Prisms Fixture Looks Great!

The ET2 Prisms fixture turned out great.  This was by far not the easiest fixture to assemble.  We had to brace it up with two ladders side by side and adjust each prism manually.  Then we had to mount it directly into their faux painted ceiling.  This fixture did not come with the standard T-Bar mount for the junction box.  It was a pain in the rear end, but it looks great!

The Eurofase Lighting Fixtures were Hard to Figure Out

The Italian lighting fixture company Eurofase has beautiful designs and incredible glass quality.  We hung two of their fixtures during this phase of installation the Ether 90S (we call it Bubbles) and the Folie 70S.  Both of these fixtures came very well packaged although they did not include any instruction manuals or lamps.  Lamps are not expected in high end Italian fixtures but it is nice to see an instruction manual.  Also, see the Ether as the first image.

Tech Lighting Monorail System Layout

We started the layout for two 16 foot low voltage monorail track systems.  We used 300watt 12volt surface mount transformers for the tracks.  When we hung the transformers the j-boxes were recessed too far into the ceiling so it created a small 1/2 inch space.  This space made it so the standoff anchors were a little too short making the transformer uneven with the rail.  We had to stop the installation on the monorail system.  I was bummed.

It is a little hard to tell from this pic.  I will have better ones after the second install phase this weekend. 

The last Tech Lighting fixture we hung was the Presto 20" in the master bath.  I love this fixture it looks like fireworks.  It comes fully assembled, with lamps and an instruction manual.  Very happy with this fixture and so were our clients.

I will post more images and product reviews after the second phase on this install.
