So you find a really sweet barn light, but it’s a pendant, not a gooseneck light. And you really need a gooseneck for the garage. Twelve boxes of pendants, but no goosenecks in sight.

Wait, what? Why are you at the big box store when you can find the perfect barn light right here at Barn Light Electric and customize it to your heart’s content?!

Today, we’re going to show you one of our most popular shades — the Bomber — and the many different ways you can customize this RLM-inspired fixture to suit your taste and your space.

Let’s start with that RLM notation. Customers often ask what that means, so here’s a quick explanation. It originally stood for reflector light microscopy, but today it is understood to mean reflector luminaire manufacturer. These retro-style shades are patterned after the deep bowls favored by factories back in the early 20th century because they cast light downward onto work surfaces. Today, those of us interested in minimizing light pollution also favor these shades because they are dark sky friendly.
