The gilded dome of the Georgia State Capitol Building now glistens brightly at night following a lighting system update that shows off the dome’s contours and the torch-bearing statue on top. As part of a $70 million total renovation of the 118-year-old structure, the lighting upgrade replaced low-wattage metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps with higher-wattage new technologies that use approximately the same amount of power. Atlanta-based CD+M Lighting Design Group designed the project and used lamps from Fairfield, Conn.-based GE Consumer & Industrial Lighting and Milwaukee-based Phoenix Lighting to complete it.
