![Lighthouse Electric | Allegheny Tunnel | Allegheny Tunnel Relighting Project](http://lighthouseelectric.com/sites/default/files/lighthouse_electric_project_allegnehy_tunnel_relighting.jpg)
Lighthouse Electric Company, Inc., also working with our chosen manufacturer, constructed the fixtures based on the Turnpike Authority's criteria. All work including engineering was under the direction of or self-performed by Lighthouse.
![Lighthouse Electric | Allegheny Tunnel | Lighting Level](http://lighthouseelectric.com/sites/default/files/lighthouse_electric_project_allegnehy_tunnel_lighting_level.jpg)
The lighting level is achieved by the spacing, reflectance and light intensity of the fixture.

This project included light fixtures that were custom designed and fabricated for the reduction of a flicker effect within the tunnel.

Two identical switchgear rooms, one on the tunnel’s east end and one on the tunnel’s west end, serve the tunnel’s power needs.
