Temple Beth Israel, Macon, GA Style F305 in coves Restoration Architect: Daren P. Schnee, AIA Photography: WalterElliott.com©2012 © The Lighting Quotient 2012 Sanctuary Dome: Dimensions: 21'-4" diameter x 9'-6" tall Lighting: (20) F305-T124-S-00-1-00-0 nominal 2' fixtures, with each unit centered between the existing ribs Estimated illuminance: 20 fcai on dome surfaces Estimated power density: 1.5 W/sf of dome footprint elliptipar Style F305 Temple Beth Israel is a Reform synagogue that traces its founding to 1859, when 78-member Congregation Kahal Kadosh Beth Israel conducted Orthodox services in German and Hebrew in a rented room. The congregation completed its first temple in 1874 and joined the Reform Union of American Hebrew Congregations around 1880. By the turn of the century, the Moorishstyle temple’s location on the main market street in town became too noisy for Saturday services and a new property was purchased. The first services in the new temple were held in 1902. The landmark neoclassical temple is topped with a central dome, and the sections of the dome’s interior radiate from a stained glass window of the all-seeing eye of God. Smooth columns with Ionic and Corinthian elements and additional stained glass windows provide the major decorative elements. Brass chandeliers light parts of the interior; recently one near the dome and some previous fixtures lining the ribs inside the dome were removed in favor of cove lighting. The new F305 cove lights replaced a system of exposed incandescent globe lamps, which had been surfacemounted on each rib of the dome. Twenty elliptipar Style F305 cove lights provide interior uplighting for the dome, positioned on the ledge at the base of the radiating ribs. The small fixtures with T5 lamps form overlapping fields of light to create a uniform wash. The change in lighting not only accentuates the details of the entire dome with glare-free light, it also makes the dome a source of reflected light for the temple’s interior.
