In researching my design board for the backyard and the back porch, I found a website called Barn Light Electric. The website says they sell “true American-made and manufactured light fixtures”, which is awesome. Unfortunately my wallet does not really agree with their prices, so I was forced to consider other sources for the extra exterior lights we need and I was surprised and amazed to discover some of the options available from Lowe’s.
1. Bel Air Lighting 1-Light Stainless Steel Wall Lantern $29.98
2. Portfolio 1-Light Outdoor Wall Light $21.98
3. Portfolio 1-Light Rust Outdoor Wall Light $19.98
I think when we get around to putting up a couple more exterior lights we’re going to go with #3 (although #2 was a close second, and Robert really liked #1). I love it when my favorite option also happens to be the least expensive!
While looking at the above options for around the outside of the back porch, Lowe’s thought it would be helpful to break my heart with the price of a light I decided we needed for the front porch (right now we have a lantern from HomeGoods that we retrofitted, but it hangs kind of low). Thankfully I found another option with a quick Google search, and I like it even more!
1. Sea Gull Lighting Specialty Finish Metal Ceiling Fixture Outdoor Light $103.50
2. Grand River Lodge Fisherman’s Ceiling Light $39.99
I also loved this (and the price was much better than the one for $93.63 at Lowe’s), but that might be a bit much for our small porch.
Is anyone else thinking about changing up exterior lighting soon?
