Saint Mary’s Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia.

When the hospital asked their landscape design company, Oasis Landscaping, to create a permanent up-lighting installation for the front of the building, Oasis owner Edison Adkins called us. “I chose Elemental because I was impressed with your knowledge and willingness to help me and work with me a little bit. I’m a landscaper not a lighting expert, I didn’t know what type of fixture would do the job, but I knew the look the hospital wanted. You were very good at helping me pick what we needed to get the job done, sending me demos and letting me try out the products until we got it exactly right,” says Adkins.

Adkins and Saint Mary’s ended up choosing 30 of our LED Par 64 waterproof spotlight. The lights, which turn on and off thanks to dusk-to-dawn sensors, shine columns of blue light all the way up the face of the building, drawing attention to the hospital from near and far. The lights are being used primarily for aesthetics, but Adkins says that once the installation is permanent, the hospital will be able to change the color of the lights, therefore using them to market different occasions. “They can change the color to pink for breast cancer awareness month, or to University’s colors on game day, ” says Adkins.
