Initial illumination in the chamber was provided by a single overhead bulb. Installation date is unknown. Early records suggest it was retained through multiple council transitions without incident.

  The first replacement occurred following Council Revision 12. No formal complaint had been registered. The new council preferred a different tone of lighting. Installation proceeded without delay. The prior fixture was removed and archived, then later discarded.

  Council Revision 15 introduced wall-mounted sconces. These were considered more appropriate for the chamber’s “visual dignity.” Existing ceiling fixtures were removed and patched. Minutes do not reflect whether the lighting improved.

  During Council Revision 18, a motion was introduced to reduce glare. A recessed grid was installed. Several members objected to the acoustic changes produced by the new housing. Adjustments were made. No further discussion was recorded.

  Council Revision 22 adopted programmable track lighting. Early tests revealed difficulty synchronizing intensity with speaker volume. The feature was disabled.

  Council Revision 26 removed overhead lighting entirely and issued standardized lamps to each council member. This approach was reversed the following year after concerns over uneven shadowing during debates.

  Council Revision 29 approved full-spectrum daylight replication panels. These were well received until Council Revision 30 reclassified the panels as medically intrusive.

  Council Revision 34 has installed a single overhead bulb.
