Pentagon Memorial
The 184 sculptured memorial units that comprise the Pentagon Memorial are illuminated by stainless steel lighting fixtures installed below grade.
Utilizing the Philips QL lamp, each lighting fixture directs its light output into a linear pool of circulating water forming a liquid fiber optic which glows homogeneously.
Low maintenance and precise lighting control were design imperatives.
- The custom fixture`s precision reflectors were fabricated and designed by Starfire
- Computer modeling by the Lighting Research Center at Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute guaranteed adequate park illumination without the need for additional luminaires
- Circulating water throught the fixture itself provides thermal management and prevents pool water from freezing during winter months
- The estimated lamp maintenance cycle exceeds twenty years
- RFI tested and certified by the United States Army
Union Made in the USA
