Product Details & Customization
What lighting options are available for churches?
We offer a full range—including chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces, ceiling mounts, directional lights, and exterior fixtures in both contemporary and traditional styles.
Can you add custom logos or architectural details to fixtures?
Absolutely. Our team can incorporate custom logos or ornamental castings; just send us a sketch, drawing, or CAD file.
Construction & Finishing
What materials and finishes are used?
Fixture frames are built from steel, aluminum, brass, and non-ferrous metals. All surfaces are pretreated, powder-coated, and finished with high durability, UV-stability, and a range of finish options.
Are your fixtures UL or ETL listed?
Yes. Fixtures are UL/cUL or ETL/cETL listed, UL damp/wet-rated as needed, and include both interior and exterior suitable options.
Lighting Technology
Do your fixtures support LED and incandescent lamping?
Yes—fixtures are compatible with LED and incandescent lamp styles. LED drivers are high power factor and dimmable via 0–10V, with optional TRIAC/ELV dimming.
Do you offer dual-circuit capability?
Many models support dual circuits—separate controls for body and down layers of light—which is ideal for dimming flexibility during different services.
Sizing & Installation
What does “OAH” mean?
O.A.H. = “Overall Height”—the total distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fixture. We can supply extra stem or chain length upon request.
Can fixtures be mounted on angled ceilings?
Yes—our pendants include an optional steep-pitch canopy for angled ceilings over 35°.
How are fixtures supported?
Fixtures are supplied with steel pipe or heavy-gauge chain, and mount to standard electrical junction boxes. Additional structural reinforcement by installers may be needed.
Design & Layout Services
Do you offer lighting layout consulting?
Yes—Architects, Engineers, Designers, and Building Owners can submit building plans, photos, and fixture style preferences for a tailored lighting proposal.
What information is needed for a lighting layout?
We request basic dimensions, photos, lamping information, structural details, seating areas, ceiling height, platform location, and lighting style vision. CAD files welcome.
