Barn Light Electric offers American-made vintage barn lights in a variety of classic shapes and sizes to bring functional style to your residential or commercial space.

During the 1920’s and 30’s, many of these Porcelain Enamel Lights, were commonplace in work related areas. Originally small in size, new RLM warehouse shades were designed to be much larger. These wide shade designs were able to produce a large amount of directed light over manufacturing areas and production tables. Companies such as Benjamin®, Crouse-Hinds, Appleton and The Miller Company created differing variations of shade styles. Thanks to their durable construction and large numbers initially created, Barn Light Electric has been able to salvage and restore many styles of these vintage barn lights.
