Gooseneck Lights & Barn Lights

Different settings call for different fixture needs, and we offer a wide selection of accessories to make these barn lighting fixtures work perfectly for your industrial placement. Options include wire guards and cast guards with glass jar covers. Each barn or gooseneck light can also be outfitted with LED or compact fluorescent bulbs for higher levels of energy efficiency and a longer burn time.

No matter where your industrial building is located, it's easy to find a barn lighting category that stands up to heavy use and complements the building's overall appearance. You can mount adjustable barn lights outside of a building pointing toward a door or choose ceiling-hung options for showrooms or offices. Alternatively, you can select wall-mount gooseneck lights for factories or industrial settings or guarded, sturdy ceiling-mount options for your more high-impact industrial areas. Mix and match for a varied look or choose matching varieties to add a finished feel to your industrial space.

What are Gooseneck and Barn Lights?

Modern gooseneck and barn lights are designed to look like vintage light fixtures used in the early 20th century to illuminate barns, farmhouses and workshops. Gooseneck lights are characterized by a wall-mounted arm attached to a downward-pointing shade. Barn lights also usually have shades but are typically mounted from the ceiling via cords or stems — or directly to a surface. Both gooseneck and barn lights provide a classic look for any indoor or outdoor use.

Where are Gooseneck and Barn Lights Used?

These fixtures are typically used for commercial and residential applications. Barn lights can still be found on farmhouses, in barns and in workshops, but their recent revival in popularity has seen them used in many more ways. Examples include porches, doorways, showrooms, offices, factories, corridors, sign lights, interior and exterior sconce lights and dusk-to-dawn lights. Below are some examples of how gooseneck and barn lighting can be used:

What are The Different Types of Gooseneck and Barn lights?

The classic gooseneck light fixture has an S-shaped wall-mounting arm that is connected to a dome-shaped shade. However, there are many styles, finishes and sizes of both arms and shades available that can be mixed and matched in many ways, depending on one's preferences. The shade typically directs light down towards the ground, but angled shades can direct light horizontally to illuminate signs when mounted above or below them.

Barn lights can be mounted to ceilings or walls. Various lengths of cords or stems can be used, depending on ceiling height. They can also be surface-mounted directly. As with gooseneck lights, barn lights come in many styles, finishes and sizes.

What are The Benefits of LED Gooseneck and Barn Lights?

While gooseneck and barn lights can utilize incandescent and fluorescent lamps, LED lamps or integrated arrays are recommended for use in these fixtures. LED lighting technology has developed to the point that it can overcome most of the drawbacks of other lighting technologies.

Although LED lighting is more expensive initially upon purchase, costs are more than made up in the long term because they consume much less energy than conventional lights. This saves on utility costs over time, and they also don't waste energy emitted as heat.
