- 2x powder-coated steel provides the best structural resistance to natural elements (sun, salt, temperature extremes, etc.).
- Stained glass provides the richest color filtration with LED systems due to the thickness of the internal pigmentation and the resilience of the material.
- LED systems are rated for 50K working hours. Easy access to them will be incorporated into the sculpture design for ease of maintenance. All are outdoor-rated.
- Lighting is triggered by a light sensitive switch to preserve system hours.
- All glass mountings are carried out with 100% silicone sealant … no glass-to-metal contact.
- Clear storm layer of polycarbonate sheathing covers all glass panels. This is the same material used to protect stained glass windows and is an insurance standard.
