The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 will ban standard 60 watt and 100 watt incandescent light bulbs in the year 2012. All of our pendent fixtures are equipped with dimming ballasts and fluorescent lamps. Colonial chandeliers are also available with dimmable fluorescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps use 20% of the wattage of incandescent lamps for the same amount of light. Average time between replacing lamps = 10 years. Warm white fluorescent lamps with dimming ballasts are ideal for worship lighting. Each fixture style comes in various sizes depending on the room layout and the number of fixtures needed.
