Located just West of Minneapolis, Minnesota is the suburban community of Minnetonka. An abundant amount of outdoor activities including lakes, parks, and trails make up this growing community. After returning from the weekend, we were excited to see we had new customer submission photos in our email! The Arneson family has been undergoing a home renovation since February 2009 and has blogged about their story online at The “L” Shaped House. They decided early on that they wanted a ‘farmhouse style’ home and over the past year and a half, the family has combined simple country elements to create a home that serves each and every one of their needs – including adding great Barn Light Electric lighting to the exterior!

Preserving Mid 20th Century History With Antique Lighting Options

How-To Betty 9 Comments on Preserving Mid 20th Century History With Antique Lighting Options

At the beginning of the 1930s a shift from industrial lights which hung over individual workbenches began to be replaced by its newly designed replacement, which became known as RLM Warehouse Shades. Due to its popularity several manufacturing companies began to produce this highly effective warehouse, factory light that used its uniquely original design to deliver a wide span of light. Companies such as Benjamin®, Crouse-Hinds, Appleton, and the Miller Company created differing variations to the traditional design that catered to different demands; some creating explosion proof versions for differing applications.Benjamin Gooseneck Light

Design and Functionality Collide

How-To Betty Leave a Comment on Design and Functionality Collide

One of our most popular Gooseneck and Pendant lights is our Outback Series. On the Outback you get the best of both worlds with our classic warehouse shade design, and cast guard and glass which also gives off side light. Like many of our products here at Barn Light Electric, options for the Outback are almost endless. On the Gooseneck version, we have more than 40 different Gooseneck Arms. With our Outback Pendant, you can choose to hang the fixture with a Stem Mount, Black, or White Cord. If you do hang your Outback Pendant on a Stem, check to see if your ceiling is slanted or flat. If it is slanted, then you will need the Stem Hang Straight Canopy, this allows the light to swivel and hang straight on a sloped ceiling. If your ceiling is flat, then bypass the hang straight canopy, and use our Stem Mount Canopy. In addition to the many options the Outback allows, the glass enclosure has multiple choices as well. You can choose from a Clear, Frost, Ribbed, Amber, Amber Crackled, Blue, Red, or Green Glass. If space is an issue, do not worry, the Outback is available from 12″ all the way up to 27″. Whether you choose the Outback Pendant or Gooseneck Fixture, your RLM possibilities are just about endless.
