Third Light

Portrait of Nadia Brandt

Nadia Brandt

Nadia deals studio glass and rewires period lighting to current code. Anything with a cord in it has been tested and tagged, and the listing states plainly whether the wiring is original, replaced, or replaced by her.

Nothing with a plug on it leaves here unrewired and untested. The listing says which.
