YORKVILLE, NEW YORK,
--- The World’s Largest LED Free-Hanging Chandelier will be illuminated by
Meyda Lighting on Wednesday, April 2nd, at 6 PM, at the Stanley
Center for the Arts in Utica, New York.
Meyda Lighting, a Meyda Tiffany company and nation’s leading
manufacturer of decorative lighting, recently installed the chandelier after
one year of planning and production in its manufacturing facilities.
Designed and engineered with
state-of-the-art technology and Green energy efficiency, The Stanley Chandelier
is illuminated with 170 Phillips Lumileds Luxian light emitting diods in the
main body, and 104 candelabra based Leds in the bobeches. The
illumination of the fixture is equivalent to 720 100-watt incandescent light
bulbs, but only uses power equivalent to eleven 100-watt
incandescent light bulbs-- a 98.5% energy savings!
The life expectancy of the LED is 50
years under the Stanley's average reported usage. Expected life
expectancy under normal household usage of LEDS is usually 15-20 years. There are no hazardous waste
byproducts, such as mercury, to dispose of with the LEDs.
Custom crafted of
steel, blown-glass and acrylic, this magnificent Meyda Lighting fixture is 35
feet in diameter, 17 feet tall, and 7,000 pounds. It is assembled in several
sections of tubular steel trusses, plus a dozen sections of other steel
trusses, framework and decorative embellishments.
The chandelier,
hand-finished in Antique Gold and Bronze, was designed to complement the
Stanley Theater’s Mexican baroque Moorish theme. Each truss includes a steel
arm featuring a hand-painted Green and White, Red glass-eyed serpent spiraling
down. At the tip of each arm is a bobeche (eight in all), each with a
diameter of 36 inches and designed to hold seven candles, ranging up to two
feet in height. The bottom of each bobeche has been designed with a Red
and Blue acrylic to coordinate with the nuances of the theater’s color
scheme. Sculpted steel candlesticks
simulating wax drippings, feature blown-glass diffusers replicating candletip
flames.
