Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty Leave a Comment on Barn Pendant Lights Take on Both Traditional, Modern Looks

Classic barn lighting has been in use throughout this country since the 1930s and 1940s when it was most often found on farms, at roadside gas stations, and in warehouses and factories where solid, dependable lighting was necessary for the work at hand.
