Date Announced: 16 Aug 2013 Yorkville, New York---Designed primarily for installations in earthquake- and volcano-prone regions of the U.S., Meyda Custom Lighting has engineered and designed special custom mounting capabilities that enable lighting fixtures to meet the nation’s most stringent codes for seismic loads including earthquakes, tremors and volcano eruptions. These movements are the result of sudden releases of energy in the Earth's crust that create seismic waves.Complying with UFC (Unified Facilities Criteria) code guidelines, Meyda offers custom capabilities to suspend lighting fixtures with anti-sway High Bay load bearing fasteners and components that are installed at a variety of attachment points. The designs are built into the structure configurations so the fixtures do not sway or collapse during earthquakes, tremors or volcano eruptions.These custom fixtures exceed code specifications by two to ten times, ensuring maximum safety and security while surpassing testing standards for seismic capacity determination. The pendants and surface mounted fixtures include support materials such as cast metal, loop and hooks, or swivel hanger assemblies fitted with restraining devices to hold stems in the support position during motion.About Meyda Custom LightingMeyda Custom Lighting is a Meyda Tiffany Company, the nation’s leading manufacturer and designer of custom and decorative lighting and Tiffany lamps.
