North Star Lighting worked with the Mintz Lighting Group in coordination with Osram Sylvania Lighting to recommend specific luminaires that would highlight the design elements of the Jefferson Memorial as specified by the architect and lighting designer. Discreetly highlighting those important elements while providing some general area illumination without flooding the entire venue was a design parameter. The North Star & Thorn Contrast Series offered a 400W narrow beam floodlight with an architectural Dichro•X tm colored lens to produce the proper intensity with the right color. The luminaires were discreetly concealed in the ceiling to illuminate the statue of President Jefferson
