Port Arthur, TX - Grand Light was contacted by Port Arthur Independent School District - School of Performing Arts, in regards to restoring some light fixtures in the main Lobby of the establishment. After considerations, it was decided to create new fixtures to accommodate the upgraded look of the Lobby.

The project required 10 flush mount fixtures and 5 pendant lights with similar design. The fixtures were drafted by Grand Light and sent for the client's approval. Samples for glass and finish were sent as well, and the client approved the combination of acrylic bowl bleached honey onyx, and a mahogany bronze finish. All the fixtures accommodate CFL lamps, and were wired in accordance to UL standards.
