Kitchen Light Installation

Today the main kitchen light fixture was installed. The electrician and the contractor worked together to lift and suspend the unit. The unit has a combination of high output fluorescent tubes and low voltage incandescent lighting which are separately switched.....the low voltage lights are controlled by a dimmer switch. Tomorrow the clear wiring chords of the unit as well as the dropped pendant light will be finished anchored to the beams above.
