This is phase three of a contemporary lighting design and install in a beach front condo in Palm Coast, Florida.  This condo is being soon to be lit by the finest contemporary lighting available.  We have used three Tech Lighting low voltage monorail track systems, three Eurofase contemporary fixtures, two Italamp vanity fixtures, three Terzani light fixtures, twenty-two 3″ clear diffuser trims, lutron controls, a Minka-Aire fan and a Modern Fan Company fan.  We have experienced a number of problems on this job but as it is being finished it is looking spectacular.

Tech Lighting Monorail Track System Turned out Great!

The three Tech Lighting track systems turned out awesome after we worked through a standoff size problem.  On one of the track systems we were not able to mount the transformer flush to the ceiling because we were not able to chip out a space for the mounting T-Bar in the concrete slab.  Our solution was to cut longer stems for the standoff anchors.  This problem was solved fairly quickly and the low voltage track system ended up turning out awesome.

The Eurofase Lighting Fixtures had some small Issues

The Eurofase Ether fixture is a beautiful lighting fixture truly one of the most creative contemporary lighting fixtures I have seen.  The Ether fixture did not come with an instruction manual or bulbs so the installation process was a real treat.  I purchased the bulbs from a local distributor but have had problems securing them into the fixture.  I believe it to be the bulb manufacture because some times different manufacture make the same product slightly different.  Even though the bulbs are not right the fixture still looks great.

The Foyer Lighting Fixture Exchange

The Eurofase Folie fixture turned out great with no issues except for the missing instruction manual.  Originally the Folie fixture was hung in the foyer but it seemed to be taking away from the fixture due to the recessed tray ceiling.  So, we put it in the office where the ceiling was naked allowing the full appreciation of this highly structural light fixture.

The foyer replacement fixture was the Tech Lighting Aria ceiling.  This worked out perfect because the Aria has bendable arms that allowed us to make up for the off centered junction box with in the deep tray ceiling.

Lighting that was Heating up the Kitchen

The Eurofase Metafisica lighting Fixture complimented the kitchen space perfectly.  They had a recessed tray ceiling in the shape of a off centered pentagon.  This made the fixture selection tough but it worked out in the end.  We also changed out the recessed trims that had incandescent R20 bulbs and a boring white baffle to a Halogen PAR bulb and brushed aluminum trim.  This made a bright difference.

The Terzani Dining Room Fixtures

The Terzani Adele suspension fixture for over the dining table is gorgeous but we could not hang it this $ 1,800.00 fixture was poorly packaged and one of the bulb sockets was crushed.  The light fixture has gone back for repair.  We did hang the Adele wall sconces and their shape, quality and design fit the space perfectly.

There will be a final phase 4 of this lighting fixture installation and I will share the final images as soon as I get them.
