Thanks so much for you reply. I think our maintenance staff would be happy
with a 16 foot ladder - right now they use a 40 ft. extension ladder - too
scary. I think we will have to go with a lift. Scaffolding was another
suggestion that sounds interesting. Now to find the money!
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: Gallery lighting question
It looks I sent out an incomplete response to your concern. We too have a
small museum with lighting that is difficult to access because of the very
tall ceilings in the exhibit gallery. A very stable sixteen foot ladder has
been preferable to a lift, which has the potential to complicate things
quite a bit.
If your maintenance engineer is reluctant to change lights, you might want
to make use of a lighting pro who would enjoy experimenting with different
kinds of "lamps" that can have a major visual impact on your exhibit area.
It may be the case that the services of such a person would cost less than a
lift rental, and your gallery may have a much more dramatic appearance as a
result.
Good luck.

Subject: Gallery lighting question
This may sound like a simple question but I am having problems with this
issue. Our main exhibition gallery has numerous lights that need changing
on a regular basis. This is done by our maintenance engineer (after
numerous requests). We are a relatively small museum and we do not own a
lift (the lights are very high) - so we either rent a lift or use this very
unsafe-looking ladder (which is probably the reason the lights do not get
changed as often as they should). A few questions
* do most of you have a set schedule on changing lights?
* do you own a lift or rent?
* How do you convince your director that having someone climb this ladder is
not a good idea and investing in a lift or budgeting the money for rentals
would be a safer bet?
Thanks for any suggestions!
