Old North Church
Boston, MA
Pivotal to Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride and a beacon during the American Revolution, Boston’s Old North Church uniquely combines the best of 18th century architecture with cutting-edge LED technology – demonstrating the ease with which solid-state lighting adapts to even the oldest of existing lighting environments.

As part of on-going refurbishment, the 285 year-old church sought a sustainable and low-maintenance light source to replace the dated, linear incandescent tube system lining 18 interior niches. Boston lighting designer Lana Nathe of Light Insight conceptualized the lighting scheme and was aided by Boston Light Source, who donated the product. She specified Philips eW® Cove Powercore – a low-profile, linear LED fixture that delivers 5X the efficiency of common incandescent click-strip lighting. It boasts a projected lifetime of 50,000 hours, compared with the 1,000 – 2,000 hours of the previous source, and is expected to cut energy consumption by nearly 85%.   Learn more...
