Stylish Exterior Gooseneck Lights

 

From a simple source of light into a chic architectural lighting fixture, gooseneck lights, vapor tight fixtures, and pole lights are perfect examples of commercial lamps which are not only used to illuminate commercial buildings and streets but also residential buildings and offices. These architectural lighting fixtures are designed to be more efficient and effective in providing light than our home lamps. But several lighting designers made these commercial lamps look as stylish as the home lighting fixtures. They look perfect enough to be used as a home accent or building accent. They do not only provide safety at night but beauty during the day as well.
 

Even the exterior gooseneck lights which provide illumination to our billboards and signage are designed to look more stylish than before. These exterior gooseneck lights are now available in 25 different colors which you could use to match the color of your signage or your storefront. This availability of other colors is quite a big improvement. It has given us several options to choice from. Besides, we have seen so much of its usual boring gray color. A blue exterior gooseneck lights or a red exterior gooseneck lights looks more fun and pleasing to the eyes than its original color. Black is also available if you are rooting for elegance.


Lighting designers always come up with fresh and stylish designs to cater our lighting needs. They never fail to surprise us with their new lighting design ideas. Now, we have stylish commercial lamps which efficiently provide us illumination and yet can be a beautiful accent to our store, home or offices.

Precious Vintage Lamps

 

According to urban legend, vintage items such as an armoire, vases, mirrors and even lamps are haunted by ghosts. Some believed that most of these antique items carry a curse. If there is a grain of truth to this urban legend or not, most people blindly believe it, including me. Just like everyone else, I truly believed that they are the home of these ghosts, specters and other spirits. But as I grow older and wiser, I realized that none of this is true.


Vintage items such as  vases, armoires, mirrors and lamps are precious objects. They are meant to be displayed and cherished just like the vintage pendant lamp which my grandmother gave me. She bought it from an antique shop yesterday. She said that it would look lovely in my kitchen. She was right. The vintage lamp is a great addition to my little kitchen. However, precious as it, I decided to display it in the library along with my other antique collection. I am afraid that I might accidentally break it. Besides, I already have a vintage lamp illuminating the kitchen already. It is a Topeka Ribbed Glass Antique Pendant Light which I bought online just recently. I have seen this antique pendant lamp from one of our favorite restaurants. I love the design and check if there is one available online. I am glad it is.


I suppose some people made up stories of ghosts and specters living in this vintage items so they could have all of these precious objects to themselves. Antique vases and lamps are wonderful decorations. They can also be a great collectible item. However, I felt nostalgic whenever I look at my antique collection. Each of these antique item has its own story which I may not know about. But one thing is for sure. These antique items are all are part of our history which are worthy to be treasured and preserved for our children and our children's children.

I have seen several of these commercial lighting fixtures being used not only light the interior and exterior of the buildings but also to beautify them. The Royal Inn by Good Night Inns is a perfect example of how several commercial pendant lamps can make this place look well-lighted and beautiful. I have also mentioned in my previous blogs that we have been using commercial lamps to beautify and illuminate our homes and gardens. Because of how chic these lamps look, you can hardly distinguish them as commercial lamps. I like how these commercial lamps complement the design of the house. The design of these lamps gives the house a unique look while providing us security.

A few of my colleagues have already looked into the different commercial lamps I shown them online. They are quite amaze that these lamps can also be customized for your lighting needs. One of my friends even requested several gooseneck lights in different eye-catching colors for her new project. These gooseneck lamps which are often used to illuminate huge billboards and signboards look quite stylish in various colors. I cannot wait to see her new project once its done. I am sure it will definitely colorful and unique.

Enjoying The Perks Of Being Alive


Life should be celebrated. It is a gift. It  must be enjoyed and cherished no matter what. It may not be easy at all times. Gazillion problems may come our way to pin us down. But what is life without problems? What is life without challenges? Life is definitely boring without it. Not all may agree with me. But then again, c'est la vie.


Regardless of the gazillion problems, I am sure there are also gazillion reasons why we should enjoy life. One of the best things of being alive is that we can enjoy all the delicious food without our family and love ones.  Just recently, my family and I had dinner with a family friend in one of the popular restaurants which opened recently. It is also one of the most patronized restaurants. It was the first time we had been to that restaurant. The price is quite expensive. If not because of pride and shame, we almost went out right after we came in. The staff of the restaurant is not only polite and well-trained. They are also friendly.  

The restaurant has a great ambiance created by the beautiful commercial lighting fixtures which illuminate and adorn the entire establishment. They are using a variety of vintage lamps. Vintage sconce lights adorn the exterior of the restaurant. While mini pendant lights beautify the interior which create a dramatic effect. Some of the lights they are using are somewhat similar to the vintage lights we have at home. All in all, I am giving the restaurant a 9.5. The prices of the food may not be agreeable to my pocket. But it is definitely worth every penny. Their burger steak is one of the best burger steaks I have ever tasted. I also enjoyed their ratatouille, ox tongue and my favorite crema de fruta.  Even my brother's kids love them. Definitely, we will come back. But not right now. C'est la vie!

Your Home, Your Personality

 

The way our house look reflects who we are as a person. It may not always follow. But more often than not, our humble abode reveals who we really are. We may deny it as much as we like but we are giving away our true self  by the way we arrange and decorate our house. We are also giving away our true nature based on the choices of home accents or decorations such as the wall arts, paintings, centerpieces which beautifies our home. Our personality is also evident even in the type of lighting fixtures which illuminates our home.


Using a commercial pendant lighting fixture such as the Nebraska Lantern Pendant Light, Barnesville Brass & Copper Antique Pendant Light and Woodhill Brass Antique Pendant Light to illuminate and adorn the patio speaks how unique and artistic my boss' wife is. She definitely has an eye for beautiful things. She was able to perfectly blend the pendant lighting fixture to their lovely patio. She did not just use just any pendant light. She chose the type of lamp which can withstand dust, moist and even the weather, the vapor-tight fixture. This type of lamp is quite a beauty in itself. I have been wanting to buy this lighting fixture for my home. I know this will also complement my little cottage.


My boss' wife never fail to impress me with the way she designs her home. It shows how extraordinary she is as as person. Her choices of home accents is beyond ordinary.  It is always refreshing and new. She loves to make something great out of anything ordinary. If there are no home accents available to her liking, she will make one with her own hands. She is definitely a wonderful lady.
