Gowanda Theater Luminaries Transported to Grand Light Facility

Gowanda, NY – Grand Light has been contracted to do the work for the Gowanda Historic Hollywood Theater lighting restoration project. Over the weekend the Grand Light team drove through the blizzard to upstate NY to pick up the carefully packed fixtures and transport them back to our New Haven facility, were their condition will be assessed by Grand Light professionals.

After the evaluation of each luminary, Grand Light will photograph it and document their recommendations. All the fixtures will be thoroughly cleaned, restored, rewired in accordance with UL standards. Some fixtures will need glass replacements that will closely match the original.
