Installing Wireless Interior Lighting Controls
Installing Wireless Interior Lighting Controls

This 1920s-era house had almost no exterior lighting and not even a place to plug in the Christmas lights. Electrician John Schiavone installed new lighting outlets for the exterior and interior of the home. The lighting fixtures and table lamps in the living room are all operated by wireless control. Ben Wilson Jr. of Lutron/Keyes North Atlantic reviews the features of this system. The control unit has five settings for the homeowner to set, which will control various lights in the house. The system seeks out and uses wireless frequencies that are not currently in use and will not impede the use of other wireless devices in the area. Each room of the house is equipped with a dimmer switch that for manual operation.

Hubbarton Forge began as a small blacksmith's shop in a Vermont barn nearly 30 years ago. Each Hubbarton Forge lamp and light fixture is still hand forged in Castleton, Vermont. Using both traditional methods and the best applications of modern technology, the blacksmiths coax a piece of red-hot iron into the shape that will form a stem and leaf on a lamp. They twist and hammer the heated metal into various shapes and forms. Forging is hot and labor-intensive handwork and that is revealed in the artistry and value of each piece.
