Outdoor Lighting That Withstands the Elements

Written by Progress Lighting | Jun 9, 2022 8:19:53 PM

Every year, more beautiful outdoor lighting fixtures come onto the market. New materials, LED light sources and other innovations mean that styles are trendier than ever. However, when choosing outdoor lighting, style is not your only consideration. The fixtures must be able to stand up to harsh weather conditions including salt air, bright sunshine, or areas that frequently experience high humidity or damp weather.

Jeffrey Alan Marks Point Dume™ Outdoor Wall Lantern Collection

Designer Jeffrey Alan Marks was inspired by one of his favorite places, East Hampton, NY for his exterior lighting collection. The pieces evoke thoughts of East Coast’s shimmering coastline and an authentic Americana vibe.

The Wakecrest LED wall lantern brings an artful, rustic charm to often-seen utilitarian outdoor down lighting. It’s ideal scale and range of finishes make it suitable for various architectural styles ranging from cottage to contemporary: it’s a modern take on rustic luxury. Jeffrey translated the corrugated rooflines of classic barns into a softly waved sconce frame, paying homage to the Americana aesthetic.
With the Seamoor outdoor wall lantern, Jeffrey reinterpreted the elements of a traditional barn while maintaining a visual nod to the iconic originals. The wavy roof is inspired by a traditional corrugated metal roof yet is more playful with its undulating curves. The handle is reminiscent of those found on old wall lanterns, but its square shape adds a contemporary interpretation.
The Hook Pond outdoor wall lantern features a steeply pitched, barn-inspired roof crowned with a distinctive loop finial. Hook Pond offers a contemporary edge on traditional corrugated metal barns found throughout the East Coast.
The Dunemere outdoor wall lantern has a playful silhouette reminiscent of a classic barn and modern A-Frame architecture. It’s casual and rustic, perfect for both indoor-outdoor rooms from Urban Cottage to Farmhouse style homes.
