The Collingwood Arts Center is revamping its look while helping conserve energy. The Center updated its 1950s-era chandeliers in the Lois Nelson Theater with 48 new LED lamps. The lamps will reduce the Center’s energy bills, using 432 watts compared to the 2,800 watts consumed by the old lights. Plus, the new lamps will last for more than 25 years. Local organizations did the installation work, with volunteers coming from the Children’s Theater Workshop, the Ability Center, Mountain Mentors and the Ursuline Sisters. The work was finished on July 3 and the chandeliers were raised back into position. All LED lights were donated by Toshiba International Corporation’s LED Lighting Systems Division.
