New Barn Lights Draw Inspiration from Vintage Colors & Styles

At the Factory, New Products Betty Leave a Comment on New Barn Lights Draw Inspiration from Vintage Colors & Styles

Drawing inspiration from color is something that we love to do here at Barn Light Electric. For example, one of our most popular finishes, Jadite, was inspired by vintage dishes and other cooking supplies from the 1950s. However, color inspiration isn’t the only way to draw upon those ideas floating around in your head. Check out this photo from Apartment Therapy’s feature, Going Green.

On Salt Spring Island, which lies near the southernmost tip of British Columbia, Canada, a secluded, one-room cabin serves as a simple yet restful respite from the everyday world.

Rustic Galvanized Warehouse Shades Lend Country Feel to Business

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty Leave a Comment on Rustic Galvanized Warehouse Shades Lend Country Feel to Business

One of the many ways a light fixture can be protected from rust and corrosion is with a galvanized finish. The earliest known example of the galvanizing of metal was found on 17th century Indian armor. Today, the galvanizing process involves coating steel with zinc which, under most conditions, has a greater resistance to corrosion than bare metal. Galvanizing has the added bonus of being low cost, easy to apply, and has a relatively long, maintenance-free life. All of which makes the galvanized finish on these gooseneck sign lights and gooseneck barn lights all the more desirable!
