Porcelain Barn Light Has Optimum Angle of Light for NY Business

Commercial Spaces, Offices Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Barn Light Has Optimum Angle of Light for NY Business

Every business needs good exterior lighting to help customers safely navigate their way to the front door after dark and to bring attention to the business from passersby. Yet fixtures that throw light all around are not only annoying to the neighbors, but can create dangerous glare and shadows where prowlers can hide which defeats the purpose of effective outdoor lighting. One of our recent Featured Customers, Michael of Millbrook Electric, installed one of our 17″ Goodrich® Bomber Porcelain Gooseneck Lights on his business and explained what he likes best about his new porcelain barn light.

Commercial Spaces, Offices Betty L Leave a Comment on Vintage Industrial Lighting a Perfect Match for CA Sheet Metal Company

After fire tore through their 150-year-old building, the owners of Frank M. Booth, Inc. made quite a discovery under the water-laden ashes. As the structure was torn apart, they noticed large, hand-hewn columns that were part of the original building — a carriage-making shop built in the 1860s. Some of the columns still had large metal rings used to tether horses.

Flared Glass Shade Pendant Offers Simple Touch to 19th Century B&B

Commercial Spaces, Hotels Betty L Leave a Comment on Flared Glass Shade Pendant Offers Simple Touch to 19th Century B&B

vintage_milk_glass_shades_kitchen.jpgThe lively city of Antwerp, located on the eastern banks of the river Scheldt in Belgium, is rich in art, architecture, and culture. Though famous for its diamond trade and the fifth largest port in the world, there are centuries worth of nooks and crannies to explore along its cobblestone streets. One of these hidden gems is the Boulevard Leopold, a quaint bed-and-breakfast located in a 19th century home that features a mix of vintage and modern. Here in the kitchen, we find floor-to-ceiling tile including a decorative blue pattern along the top of the walls that flows onto the ceiling. This treatment draws the eye upward, expanding the narrow space. And taking center stage — a delicate glass shade pendant that adds another vintage touch.

Commercial Spaces Betty L Leave a Comment on Custom Gooseneck Arm Adds Distinctive Style to Sign Lighting

If lights grab your attention like they often do to us, you’ll find that many businesses utilize some sort of angle shade lighting for their signage. These shades are highly versatile and are easily customized to fit the different physical parameters a sign may have. These types of sign lights feature a gooseneck arm that comes in a variety of sizes to make sure you get just the right projection and angle of light. You can choose a traditional cone-shaped shade, or perhaps a more rounded head, like an Emblem Shade Gooseneck Light, suits your style.
