What I don’t understand is how they said screw the crown too. Are they not separate lighting systems? You’re telling me they’re interlinked like Christmas lights?
Does the developer or owner get their money back from the lighting company for a complete failure?
I’m not really sure how refunds work after the fact, though there is often some stipulation in the contracts that covers this type of scenario.
Regarding the physical light fixtures themselves, its not inordinary for fixtures of this manner to be daisy chained, as are the ones at 270, but a single broken fixture shouldn’t cause everything to fail so the problem is probably much larger. The way these fixtures were integrated into the curtainwall may also probably be very difficult to access the fixture itself.
But the crown chandelier lighting, which was never installed, would not have been directly connected to the shearwall E/W lighting.
