62--Request for Information - Lighting Solutions

The Department of the Interior is seeking information from industry lighting professionals to improve the lighting solution at the United States Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) in Virginia. The current lighting system is in disrepair, with many fixtures damaged or missing components due to heavy use and physical contact from visitors. The Department is looking for recommendations on which existing fixtures can be repaired or salvaged and which require replacement. They are also seeking input on replacement products that meet durability, architectural, and historical requirements. The goal is to identify a lighting solution that provides the required illumination while reducing damage, maintenance, and premature replacement. • The project includes the inspection, repair, and replacement of 63 light fixtures, with 28 believed to be operational. • The replacement fixtures should incorporate heavy-duty housing, impact-resistant lenses, secure mounting, and weather-resistant construction. • A sample or mock-up installation of proposed replacement fixtures may be considered before committing to full replacement. • The project aims to improve visitor safety, restore appropriate illumination, and provide a more sustainable and durable lighting solution.
