The project achieved its targets that were outlined. The consultant produced a written report detailing recommendations to update the lights to museum standards. The project also produced build project sheets of the different areas outlined in the project. Along with the build project sheets, the project produced spec sheets of different lighting options that would better suit the museum's needs compared to the current lighting.
