On the Boards: US Highway 59 Bridges
Working in conjunction with Montrose Management District and TxDOT, G2LD is pleased to announce a new, dynamic lighting scheme for the six bridges which span Highway 59 within the Montrose District. The new lighting, currently in design development, will use color-changing LEDs to illuminate the arches inside and out, as well as to highlight the signature trusses. State-of-the-art wireless controls will allow coordination of colors across all six bridges as well as with color-changing signage throughout the neighborhood.

Did You Know? Lighting matters! A recent study showed workers in windowless offices were less physically active, had more restless sleep patterns, and, on average, got 46 fewer minutes of sleep per night. In fact, they scored lower than their daylight-absorbing counterparts across all 8 dimensions of the health study.

Lighting Bloopers
It's a hazard of the job - we can't go anywhere without analyzing the lighting. We've seen it all - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the so-bad-it's-hilarious. So we've devised this column to share some of the funniest lighting mishaps.
Just about every job we work on has concerns about lamp life and fixture accessibility. After all nobody likes the hassle and expense of changing light bulbs.
But was this really cheaper or easier than changing the light bulb? Perhaps they were wanting some directional accent lights instead of the bright ambient glow of a fluorescent? Hard to say, but bravo on a job well done!
If you come across a spectacular (or just embarrassing) lighting blooper, please send it to us at sarah@G2LD.com. We're always looking for a good laugh...
