If you happened to watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition last night you would have been introduced to the Hill Family, a well deserving family of 13 in need of an extensive home renovation.  With an emphasis on volunteering, the team was joined this week by actor/rapper Xzibit to provide some additional help to this selfless family.  The home that Ty Pennington and the rest of the design team arrived at was extremely cramped for this family of 13, with various issues due to years of heavy wear and tear and water damage.  When the design team had contacted us about contributing to the renovation of the Hill’s house we, along with our manufacturer, were more than happy to offer some of our warehouse lights and wall mount fans to this well deserving family.  A desired urban environment was created in the finished basement with pair of 7” angle shades on HL-H Goosenecks that were used to light a media wall, and the addition of a number of 17” Old Dixie Pendants with red wire guards were suspended from the ceiling around the basement.  The raw look of the galvanized finish on these shades helps to compliment the bright colors and rich tones that encompassed the walls and furniture, creating an impressive loft inspired environment.  The finishing touch completing this ideal man cave was the addition of a kitchenette with a corresponding workout room equipped with one of our wall mounted commercial barn fans, keeping the young men of the Hill house cool while they workout. We could not be happier with the end product that the designers at Extreme Makeover Home Edition created for the Hill family, and we were honored that they chose our Barn Light Electric products to complete such an incredible home for this well deserving family.

The leaves are changing and its getting dark earlier, but imagine finally having enough light in front of your garage or barn when you come home at night. The weather may be changing and winter looming, so why not update your inadequate flood lighting with one of our classic warehouse-style light fixtures.  Not only do our warehouse shades offer a larger variety of enduring designs than our competitors; they also come with several choices in projection, due to the large selection of gooseneck arms.  With over 50 finishes to choose from and so many custom options available, there is no wonder why so many people trust Barn Light Electric to light their homes, barns, restaurants.

These industry-leading features prompted the initial decision to go with Barn Light Electric for this latest customer project submission.  Although Florida might not receive much of the harsh winter weather that other areas experience, the need for high quality distinctive lighting remains.  This Old Dixie Gooseneck Light was the perfect addition to this traditional stucco home and features many classic styling characteristics that complimented our customer’s central Florida residence.  Featured with a cast guard and glass unit, the Old Dixie takes on a new personality that reflects a culmination of classic and modern styles resulting in the perfect multipurpose light.  Standing out with a 17” warehouse shade on an HL-D Gooseneck, the Old Dixie provides an ample dispersion of light over this single car garage.  Don’t be left in the dark this winter by relying on other inferior lighting, choose one of our American made warehouse shades to light your latest project.
