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.
