Client: Matovich - Lighted Cupola w/Weathervane Mount 3/08

This is a matching cupola to a set of chimney caps made in my Tuscany arch style for Scott Matovich in Setauket, New York. I made this with a taller base to sit on the roof. I had to do something a bit different with working out a soft glow light inside and rig up the security flood light in the base. You can see more photos at: http://copper-by-design.com/cc/cp/Matovich.htm#Cupola

I experimented with several different systems to see what would work best. I ended up using a set of 2 bulbs that reflected off a shield above and a larger reflector below in the base. I also made a third white reflector up in the center of the cupola. I also had to build a strong weathervane support pipe in the roof. This project took me longer to build as the larger chimney cap above.
