Lincoln Memorial, Luminaire and Midge Testing, 85% Submission

The purpose of this report is to recommend a conceptual design for lighting system improvements at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. It is a follow up effort to a previous study commissioned by the NPS, which identified deficiencies in the existing lighting system and also recommended several lighting/midge-response test measures. Using three-dimensional computer modeling studies, on-site mock-up installations, and midge light response experiments, potential lighting systems are tested and evaluated against certain NPS priorities. The report concludes with recommendations of specific lighting systems and midge control techniques, which will form the basis for future design efforts for replacement lighting systems. Both interior and exterior lighting systems are addressed. National Mall and Memorial Parks (formerly known as National Capital Parks-Central) is an administrative unit of the National Park Service (NPS) encompassing many national memorials and other areas in Washington, D.C. Federally owned and administered parks in the capital area date back to 1790, some of the oldest in the United States. In 1933, they were transferred to the control of the National Park Service.
