Church light problem

eddielarge · Feb 16, 2010

Hi i have a problem in a church which i carry out regular work, they have 10 lights hanging from very high ceilings , which means they have to hire in a tower to change lamps, Which is fine if they all blew annually, Each light has about 8 seperate lamps and thease blow randomly, What they want is a system where the light can be lowered on a pulley so they can do work on them at floor level the winched back up, Does anyone know a company which may be able to make these.

many thanks
EDDIE

How about one of these. If it's a vaulted ceiling it may be a bit of a pain hiding things.

Or the these ones.

Or just make your own and copy the designs above.

Looking at those lights as a possible solution to a similar problem I have, so thanks for that !
as an idea, how about a final solution of bringing the lights down onto the walls at a reachable level, (ladder etc ) and direct a couple of lights upwards to highlight the ceiling, as church ceilings are normally well decorated. ( Not my area of expertise, but a lighting designr will be able to advise on level of light output per unit as church walls adsorb huge amounts of light) . Just ideas , might suit your particular church but obviously I havent seen it.
