Field of Empty Chairs Lighting Update

September 04, 2008

The chair relamping has started and the first 16 chairs on the western end of the Field of Empty Chairs are complete. The new lights are burning bright and with great clarity, so the names are easily read even from a distance. The original lights placed in the chairs during the construction of the Memorial in 2000 are being replaced with an LED lighting system manufactured by Roberts Step Lighting in Oklahoma City. Randy Roberts helped design the original lights as well. The project will continue through the month of September until the lighting systems in all 168 chairs are replaced. Periodic updates will be posted.
